A growing petition to deport Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN) is gaining significant traction. Many people are signing it, expressing frustration over her controversial statements and actions that impede law enforcement efforts.
The petition calls for the Somali-born congresswoman to be removed from the United States, citing her perceived disloyalty to American values and repeated criticisms of the country. As calls for accountability mount, many are questioning how someone with her outspoken views was allowed to hold public office in the first place.
Emerging Republican lawmaker, Texas Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) sent out a petition, calling for Omar to be arrested and deported to her birth country. He added that the U.S. “would be a much better place if she were to be sent back.” Omar has lived in the U.S. since 1995 and became a naturalized citizen in 2000.
Gill accused Omar of advising illegal Somali immigrants on how to avoid Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids after leaked video footage revealed the Squad member instructing Somali-born constituents on what actions to take if confronted by ICE officials.
“Friend, we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country. And frankly, America would be a much better place
