President Donald Trump on Sunday blasted Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) for her criticisms of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) operations in Minnesota.
“There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Ilhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know. She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia, considered one of the absolutely worst countries in the World. She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!”
In a prior post, Trump said ICE “is removing some of the most violent criminals in the World from our Country” and asked why Minnesota’s government is fighting the White House’s efforts to remove them. “Do they really want murderers and drug dealers to be ensconced in their community?” he wrote. “The thugs that are protesting include many highly paid professional agitators and anarchists.”
He claimed Omar and Gov. Tim Walz “don’t mind because it keeps the focus of attention off the 18 Billion Dollar, Plus, FRAUD, that has taken place in the State!”
Omar came under fire for remarks she made during a recent event in St. Paul where she compared ICE’s conduct to abuses that occur in Somalia. “The one place where we thought we would never experience this is the U.S. goddamn states.”
The White House’s rapid response account on X slammed Omar for her comments. “There is no circumstance in which she should refer to our country in this way,” the post read. “It is beyond disrespectful — it is appalling, disgusting, and SICK.”
.@IlhanMN refers to our great country as the "U.S. G*ddamn States."

Omar also accused ICE of acting like “a paramilitary force” and carrying out its operations without proper legal authority. She said “dozens of U.S. citizens have been taken into custoday and released hour later” without any charges being filed and suggested they were arresting people without warrants or legal justification.
The lawmaker further stated that ICE has been engaging in “blatant racial profiling” by going after young men who appear to be Somali. She slammed the agency for conducting “door-to-door operations with guns drawn” in Minneapolis and referring to its behavior as “state-sanctioned violence.”

Deport her.
She won’t go to prison if she isn’t even charged.
Should be. Won’t be. Pretty the state of what remains from the grand experiment.
*Pretty much ...
“APPEAR” TO BE SOMALI-—”
IN WHITE MINNESOTA-—SWEDES DO NOT LOOK LIKE SOMALI’S.
Since she knows how the US should be run, how about she goes back to Somalia and runs that country.
As they are nearly 100% crooked, it makes perfect sense to just arrest any Somali males.
They really need to be sent to Somalia. It was a disaster to let these absolute shitty people into America.
Only ARRESTS matter.
That would be sweet. And do it before a judge steps in to stop it.
Its good to expose, but its far better to hold accountable with actions. Talk without action is, well, just talk.
Omar’s major “charity” and her husbands rapid accumulation of 30 million dollars are now be thoroughly audited.
Trump has the goods on them both.
Ilhan Omar’s days in the USA are numbered. She needs to quickly furnish her luxury bolt hole condo in Mogadishu.
If she gets out now she might escape prison and denaturalization deportation.
Ever notice how the media never seem to describe the likes of Omar, Crockett, Waters et. al. as “railing” against President Trump?
We kicked out Ex-Nazis and Mafiosi for fewer reasons.
Well.. the Somalian light bulb heads certainly don’t look Irish….
“Ever notice how the media never seem to describe the likes of Omar, Crockett, Waters et. al. as “railing” against President Trump?”
***********
The media reserves certain descriptive terms solely for Republicans and notable conservatives. Those terms are virtually never used WRT Democrats.
She should be deported after serving her sentence in a maximum security prison (no Club Fed).
I bet she’s moving her money ,LOL
......Trump Rails Against Ilhan Omar, Says She Should Be Imprisoned.....
NO!! She should be deported to Somalia!!
We should all be infuriated with this Somalian scum. How dare she utter the words, “U.S GOD-DAM STATES”. She was not born in this country, her citizenship is questionable, her country tortured and murdered 18 AMERICAN soldiers, she has done nothing but create havoc and she is a U.S. congresswoman. She or her family have sacrificed nothing for our freedoms.
Congress needs to address this immediately and remove her ass, anything less is unacceptable.
