President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday reignite his feud with Ilhan Omar, saying that the Minnesota lawmaker should either be jailed or sent back to her native country of Somalia.
“There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud. Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan 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!” Trump, 79, shared in his post, per Fox News.
Omar, 43, and her family immigrated to the United States from Somalia in 1995 to escape the civil war in the African nation. She became an American citizen in 2000.
“ICE is removing some of the most violent criminals in the World from our Country, and bring them back home, where they belong. Why is Minnesota fighting this? Do they really want murderers and drug dealers to be ensconced in their community? The thugs that are protesting include many highly paid professional agitators and anarchists. Is this really what Minnesota wants?” Trump also wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“The crooked Governor and ‘Congresswoman’ Omar, who married her brother, don’t mind because it keeps the focus of attention off the 18 Billion Dollar, Plus, FRAUD, that has taken place in the State! Don’t worry, we’re on it!” he added in the post.
For several days, there have been confrontations between anti-ICE protesters and ICE agents in Minnesota. The confrontations turned deadly on January 7 after an ICE agent, identified as Jonathan Ross, shot and killed Renee Good, 37.
Good’s murder drew divided opinions among American politicians and citizens. While her death was labeled as murder by some politicians and commentators, Trump administration officials begged to differ, claiming that the ICE agent acted in self-defense, per The Hollywood Reporter. They also described Good as a “domestic terrorist.”
