Should Ilhan Omar Be Deported?
Here’s The Scoop
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is under fire after a speech she gave in Somali, expressing irredentist views about her homeland, Somalia.
The controversial speech has led to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) calling for her expulsion from Congress and the United States.
In the speech, Omar vowed to advance Somali interests through her position in Congress and sway the United States to support the Somali government over land disputes with Ethiopia. Conservative figures online have openly questioned her loyalty to the United States.
DeSantis made his stance clear, saying, “Expel from Congress, denaturalize and deport!” in response to Omar’s speech.
Omar, however, hit back by mocking DeSantis’ failed 2024 presidential campaign.
The original translation of the speech was posted by an ambassador of Somaliland, a region that broke off from Somalia. Omar and her defenders claim the translation was edited deceptively.
Nonetheless, the translation shared by Omar still shows her vowing to use her position in the U.S. government to advance the interests of her homeland.
Elon Musk chimed in, stating that Omar “doesn’t sound loyal to the United States.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also criticized Omar, calling her a “terrorist sympathizer” and accusing her of prioritizing Somalia and her Muslim faith over America.
Omar’s position on Somali land disputes has also been questioned due to her father’s prominent role in the Somali army, which coincided with the Isaaq genocide. However, it remains unknown whether he played a role in the atrocities.

Deported? No. Kicked-out of Congress? Perhaps. As for her putting being a Muslim above being an American: Don’t most of you Christians do the same? The tenets of your shared delusions trump good citizenship almost every time.

OMAR is a traitor who has committed treason by the speech to those people in her state. Her allegiance i not for this US of A but for her own country.

Ilhan Omar should had never been allowed to serve in congress, and many like her alien, and her dedication is not to the USA.

Considering she illegally married her bro. (of course MSM has tried to debunk this and Project Veritas) Project Veritas 2020 vid implicating her in ILLEGAL $ballot harvesting- (investigation went no-where- huh, wonder if Ellison had something to do with it?). She was booed off stage at a Somalian Singers concert right before 2022 election. Her dist. largest Somalian Population seeping into mine. Rep Tom Emmer- my dist. knows this. He did demand her resign. Now he just has to bring up to expel. George Santos was expelled for MUCH MUCH less. Even a Somalian Leader bashed her on X for her racist wrong think rhetoric. If minimum-she is not expelled she will ‘install’ herself again.” MN ranks 45th in Election Integrity!

How did this woman (?) ever get elected? It is apparent she doesn’t have any feelings as to the growth and support of our country. The only thing she is capable of doing is organize and support terrorism against the people who got her elected . No, don’t send her anywhere. Put her in jail and let her find out what punishment can do to people like her!!!
