DEPORT ME': Ilhan Omar Makes Threat - Trump Then Makes EPIC Announcement
WASHINGTON, D.C. — April 29, 2026
President Donald Trump has escalated his criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), referencing long-standing allegations that she entered the United States through a fraudulent marriage and stating that, if proven true, she should be removed from Congress and the country.
The remarks came aboard Air Force One as Trump responded to earlier statements by Omar in which she expressed little concern about potential loss of citizenship or deportation. Omar, who was born in Somalia and arrived in the United States as a refugee, had said she was “not the 8-year-old who escaped war anymore” and could live wherever she wanted.
Trump also broadened his comments to address Somali immigration more generally, stating that certain communities have imposed significant costs on the United States and that the country would no longer accept individuals from Somalia while reviewing current policies. He described Omar as someone who “does nothing but complain about our Constitution and our country.”
The exchange originated earlier this month when the White House posted a photo of Trump at a McDonald’s drive-thru in response to Omar’s comments on deportation. Omar has previously dismissed Trump’s criticisms, calling him a “lying buffoon” and disputing claims about Somalia’s willingness to accept her return.
Omar’s family fled Somalia’s civil war in 1991 and lived in a Kenyan refugee camp before resettling in the United States. She was elected to Congress in 2018, becoming one of the first Muslim women and the first Somali-American member of the House of Representatives.
The renewed public exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and several progressive Democratic lawmakers known as “The Squad.” It occurs amid broader national debates over immigration vetting, refugee resettlement, and the integration of certain communities. Recent incidents, including an Afghan refugee’s alleged shooting of two National Guard members, have intensified scrutiny of immigration policies.
