Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota should either be jailed or sent to Somalia, President Donald Trump suggested in a Truth Social post Sunday night.
“There’s a $19 Billion Somali Scam in Minnesota. Fake ‘Congressman’ Ilhan Omar, who hates the USA and complains all the time, knows everything there is to know. She should be jailed, or even sent back to Somalia, which is considered one of the worst countries in the world, with a worse sentence. She could help MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump announced in his speech to mail.
Omar, who has been serving in the US House of Representatives since the beginning of 2019, was born in Somalia and became a US citizen in 2000.
“ICE is removing some of the most violent criminals in the world from our Country and bringing them back home where they belong. Why is Minnesota fighting this? Do they really want murderers and drug dealers to settle in their communities? There are plenty of highly paid professional agitators and anarchists among the protesting thugs. Is this really what Minnesota wants?” the president asked this question in his Sunday Truth Social post.
