First-term GOP Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas is calling on the Trump administration to send Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) back to her homeland of Somalia.
America would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia,” Gill wrote Tuesday on the X platform.
Included in Gill’s tweet was a video clip featuring Omar, where she appears to be coaching fellow Somalis living in the U.S. — perhaps illegally — how to resist federal immigration officials. The video was posted by conservative influencer Greg Price, who wrote: “Ilhan Omar is now hosting workshops for Somalians living in the country illegally to advise them on how to avoid being deported.”
100%! She’s anti-American as they come. She pledged allegiance to the United States and has only ever acted against it. She’s a fraud, liar, and traitor to this country!” one wrote.
“Isn’t this against the law? Expel her!” saidanother.
Another user offered: “She is committing federal crimes by telling illegal immigrants how to avoid ice. She deserves to be investigated and prosecuted.”
Later, Gill wrote that “we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”
A spokesperson for Gill told The Hill, “Representative Omar’s conduct raises questions about to whom she is most loyal- the American people or illegal aliens from Somalia. Representative Gill simply stated that it is disgraceful for a sitting Congresswoman and US citizen to facilitate the invasion of our country by illegal alien Somalis.”
