In a recent press interaction, President Donald Trump suggested that Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) should be expelled from the United States.
He cited allegations that she may have entered the country by marrying her brother. Trump expressed his views while conversing with reporters aboard Air Force One, stating, "Somalia, where you have a Congressman goes around telling everybody about our Constitution, yet she supposedly came into our country by marrying her brother. Well, if thats true, she shouldnt be a Congressman, and we should throw her the hell out of our country."
Trump's remarks come amid a backdrop of Omar and her Democratic colleagues staunchly defending Minnesota's Somali community. This defense persists despite reports of "widespread fraud of taxpayers healthcare programs" within the community. As reported by Breitbart, Trump has previously announced his intention to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty for Somalians, following reports of missing billions of dollars.
Warner Todd Huston of Breitbart News reported that Omar, a Somali native and U.S. congresswoman, has been vocal in her support for her fellow countrymen. She has also accused Trump of making "lawless threats" against Somalians. Trump, in a post on Truth Social on Thanksgiving, criticized both Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Omar. He described Omar as always being wrapped in her swaddling hijab and doing nothing but hatefully complaining about the U.S.
The Powerline blog reported in February 2020 that the Daily Mail had reported that Omar DID marry her brother and said she would do what she had to do to get him papers to keep him in U.S.,, reveals Somali community leader. The blog also reported in July 2019 that Omar entered the United States as a fraudulent member of the Omar family.
In 1995, Ilhan entered the United States as a fraudulent member of the Omar family. The Omars allowed Ilhan, her genetic sister Sahra, and her genetic father Nur Said to use false names to apply for asylum as members of the Omar family. Ilhan Abdullahi Omars name, before applying for asylum, was Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.
The outlet went on to report that Omars three siblings who received asylum in the United Kingdom were Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Mohamed Nur Said Elmi, and Leila Nur Said Elmi. Omar and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi went on to get married in 2009 and did not divorce until 2017.
In a post on Truth Social in September, Trump criticized Somalia for being plagued by a lack of central Government control, persistent Poverty, Hunger, Resurgent Terrorism, Piracy, decades of Civil War, Corruption, and pervasive Violence. He also criticized Omar for telling the U.S. government how to run America and questioned if she was the one that married her brother in order to gain Citizenship.
The allegations against Omar, if proven true, could have serious implications for her political career and the broader political landscape. The controversy surrounding her alleged marriage to her brother and the subsequent citizenship status has been a contentious issue, with critics arguing that it undermines the integrity of the immigration system.
The debate over Omar's actions and the subsequent response from the Democratic party underscores the ongoing political divide in the country. As the situation unfolds, it will be crucial to observe how this impacts the political discourse and the future of immigration policy in the United States.
