Khan, who has already run into Trump several times, was also among British politicians who signed a letter of open solidarity with nearly 14,000 other signatories.
The letter was sent to Minnesota representative Omar and his three colleagues, Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Representative Ayanna Pressley of Mbadachusetts and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
The letter, written by the Hope Not Hate campaign group and distributed on Thursday, said: "We are disgusted by Donald Trump's attack on you, his flagrant and unashamed racism has shocked the world."
The message was also signed by Opposition Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and two union secretaries general.
"You embody the best of America.Its diversity is its strength," says the letter, adding, "Thank you for showing the world that America can always be a leader of which we can be proud, even when the White House has given up this role, we stand in solidarity with you. "
The support came after Trump spent a significant portion of his campaign rally Monday in Greenville, North Carolina, to attack Congress women. As Trump formed a litany of accusations against them, the crowd chanted: "Send her back!" Trump made no effort to stop the singing, stopping during his remarks as the vocals grew louder and louder.
Trump has been attacking the four congressional women since Sunday, when he asked them to legislate for lawmakers to "return" to their "crime-infested" country. Three of the four were born in the United States, while Omar was born in Somalia and arrived in the United States as a refugee in 2000. She became an American citizen at the age of 17, according to New York Times.
"You can shoot me with your words, you can cut my eyes, you can kill me with your hate, but nevertheless, like the air, I will get up," she wrote.
