Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, is backing her freshman colleague, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over the claim that there were "concentration camps" along the southern border, saying what the U.S. government is doing fits the "general definition."
Ocasio-Cortez created a firestorm during Monday's livestream by declaring that the Trump administration was "running" concentration camps, invoking the Holocaust-link "never again" saying and claiming that a "fascist" presidency is currently in office. Amid backlash, the congresswoman insisted that she wasn't referring to Nazi concentration camps, but doubled down on her terminology.
During a Thursday interview on Public Radio International, Omar echoed Ocasio-Cortez's stance and defended the term and noted the separation of "death camps."
"When you look at what is taking place, people are being put in camps. And when you think about the definition, if we separate it from death camps, I would say these are camps and people are being concentrated in them. And so that's the general definition," Omar said.
"I think a lot of people are conflating what a death camp looks like or a specific removal of people. These people are coming to the border. We are removing them from the border. We are placing them in camps. Some of them are being removed from communities and being put in what we're calling detention centers — but are essentially camps."
Earlier this month, Omar claimed that it was "un-American" for ICE to detain illegal immigrants and called for the agency to be defunded.

“...AOC, Omar, and Tlaib are the Congressional Axis of Stupid....”
And yet, there they are, in Congress, getting paid at OUR expense, as “law makers”.
I’d say “stupid” is not a proper description for them. They gamed us and our system very, very well.
This ignoramus thinks she needs to educate the citizens of OUR COUNTRY? If she’s so smart, she would have figured out a way to stay in her own country, avoid the war and survive without fleeing and eventually making her way to OUR COUNTRY! To be accurate, I guess she was BROUGHT here as a child but she certainly got older and what was stopping her from returning to her OWN COUNTRY? This is what needs to happen to her:
“”Some of them are being removed from communities and being put in what we’re calling detention centers””
Some are being removed from COMMUNITIES? What COMMUNITIES are they (illegals) being removed from? She does love that word “some”, doesn’t she? “Some people did something.”
Would someone please get the word to her that when we want her advice, we will ask for it and we haven’t asked for it!
My dear old dad once told me you do not have to ask a person how stupid they are just wait and listen they will soon tell you. It looks like Omar and AOC are shouting from the street corners they are stupid
I believe them to be more insidious than that. They are indeed stupid, and that is the only thing that is delaying the tide we are witnessing. That tide is the infiltration of our governmental bodies to those who seek its destruction. The more intelligent ones are acting below the observable level of the media and are doing great harm to this country.
The water that surrounds the frog is heating up.
She is in league with two Muslims who lie....
So true. Step 1. Saturate the population. Step 2. Take over the legislative body. Step 3 become a 3rd world dictatorship in the name of equality
Yes the frog is boiling aided by the MSM not pointing out the game plan
