(CNN) Members of the Congressional Black Caucus directed their outrage Monday at President Donald Trump, for what they say was putting Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's "life at risk," following a series of Trump tweets that were sharply critical of the Minnesota freshman congresswoman.

The comments came just hours ahead of Trump's visit Monday to the Minneapolis area, which includes Omar's district.

"We know that he is scheduled to go to go Minnesota today and I imagine that he is doing that to further whip up irrational outrage over her comments. And in our opinion, this only furthers to put her life in danger," Rep. Karen Bass of California, the chairwoman of the caucus, said on a conference call with reporters. "I am certainly hoping that when he goes to Minnesota today his purpose is not to rev up a sentiment against Muslims and islamophobia."

The group called again for the President to take down his tweet with the edited video that he posted Friday that used comments Omar made at the Council on American-Islamic Relations last month spliced with news footage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. "We will never forget!" Trump wrote.

Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said he has also ordered a security review, in addition to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to review security both in Washington as well as in her district.
