Trump calls for Ilhan Omar to be expelled from the country and removed from Congress

Former President Donald Trump urged that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) be removed from the United States and suggested that she and other Somali immigrants should not serve in Congress. His remarks came in response to a reporters question about his previous statements opposing Somali immigration and criticizing Omar.

Trump described Omar as a terrible person and reiterated that Somali immigrants have negatively impacted Minnesota, calling the state a hellhole under current leadership. He also criticized Gov. Tim Walz and former President Barack Obama, claiming the influx of Somali immigrants began during Obamas tenure and has caused widespread issues.

During the exchange, Trump stated that Somali immigrants shouldnt even be allowed to be congresspeople and questioned the legitimacy of Omars position in Congress. He repeated unsubstantiated claims about Omars personal life that have been widely debunked.

Omar has consistently denied these allegations, calling them false and providing evidence of her family and marital history. Trumps comments have been criticized for their racial undertones and inflammatory nature.
