Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) has sparked controversy by demanding the deportation of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), despite Omar being a U.S. citizen. In a series of posts on X, Gill stated, “America would be a better place if Ilhan Omar were deported back to Somalia,” in response to a clip of Omar’s recent interview.
Omar, who came to the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia in 1995 and became a naturalized citizen at 17 in 2000, has been critical of America since before she was in Congress. Gill said what many Americans have thought, stating, “we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”
The context of Gill’s comments comes from a video where Omar discussed what illegal alien Somalis should do if questioned by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Omar, the first Somali-American in Congress, hoped to protect her people by revealing her true allegiances.

A spokesperson for Gill defended his stance, suggesting that Omar’s actions and statements raise questions about where her true allegiance lies, whether with the American public or with criminal illegal aliens from Somalia.
This call for deportation has infuriated the left, many of whom align with Omar’s perspectives as enemies of the United States. They believe sovereignty is superficial and would like nothing more than for America to be overrun by foreign powers.
Supporters of Gill see his statements as part of a broader critique of Omar’s policies and views, particularly regarding immigration and her perceived allegiances.
The controversy also reflects ongoing tensions within Congress, where the discourse around immigration, national loyalty, and the role of anti-American lawmakers continues to be polarized.

Is she married to her “brother”?
Yes. And that is how she “qualified” for citizenship. Fraud vitiates the entire transaction. Citizenship should be revoked and she should be deported. As to Congress, for the foregoing reasons, and because her oath of office was false (she will NOT defend the Constitution and laws of the USA), she should be removed.
She has no business being a citizen yet alone in our Congress. She is loyal to Samalia, has made that clear on many occasions, yet she is still in the Congress. When will she be deported? This is a disgrace!!
She should be deported for falsifying info on her application to become a U S citizen!
She should be (D)
.
Her oath to the United States has already been broken. She should be arrested and tried as a traitor and terrorist and receive the ultimate penalty.
We are the dumbest nation. Why do we allow Enemies of the State a place in our government? These anti-Americans didn’t even need a Trojan Horse to gain entry. We just let them use our own system against us.
None of these SOBs should be here. None of them are worth a damn. They are miserable wuffless mealymouthed shufflebutt slaves. Ship all of them the hell back to Somaliland.
Agree!
Ilhan Moron Omar plainly stated she represents her home country of Somalia in the US congress. She has encouraged election fraud in her district. It’s likely she was “selected” rather than elected. Then there’s the fraud with her brusband / hother… She got one of them in here illegally. Don’t we have enough criminals in Congress? Deport her now!
I have been saying this for years. She hates the nation that has gave her a chance at a better life and she spits on it. I do not care if she knows no one in her nation or not and we have done this before to other naturalized citizens even when the came over as a baby. Deport her now!
Maybe just hold her accountable for all the laws she has broken, put her in jail, let the Somalis bail her out and send her back to wherever.
is she a valid citizen?
sounds like she committed immigration fraud.
Wheres AG Bondi?
Fortunately AG Bondi is now confirmed and on the job. Much better than Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr or Merrick Garland, dontcha think?
She needs gone and her constituents need better candidates. She is absolutely a traitor. Her oath of citizenship and oath of office are meaningless to her. She broke them both many times over. She needs deported!
Deport her and her family now they cam illegally and she does not represent the values of the United States! All Somalis that came illegally need to be deported! They have their own country!
Sedition is a crime that can carry a very stiff sentence. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) statements should result in her prosecution for sedition.
Revoke her citizenship for violating the part of the citizenship oath to disavow allegiance to her old country.
She should be expelled from congress but the feckless republicans won’t do anything about it. Same with the rest of the “squad”. They openly validate supporting criminals over American citizens. Why are they in office. The Majority can push them out but they are doing nothing.
Ilhan Omar Nur (Nur is her real last name) is on video telling her Somali constituents in MN that she works to represent Somali interests in Congress. This is already a gross ethics violation of her oath to Congress. And, yes, there is evidence that she did commit immigration fraud.
ILLhan Omar…..AKA ILLhan Nuri Said Elmi LIEd abou t her REAL Identity (it’s been documented) on her Immigration Paperwork… therefore she is at the LEAST… an ILLEGAL GImmi-grant…along with ALL her OTHER ILLEGAL, documented Activities.
