You will be jail: Trump Calls for Rep. Ilhan Omar to Be Jailed or Deported, Despite Her U.S. Citizenship The president has previously used derogatory language about Omar and other Somalis.

President Donald Trump declared that Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar should be locked away or sent out of the country in a social media post as tensions continue to escalate between ICE agents and civilians in the Democrat’s home state.

Trump, 79, has previously publicly insulted Omar, 43, and his Sunday, Jan. 18, Truth Social post is the latest jab from the president at the congresswoman.

“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,” Trump wrote. “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!”

The Trump administration has been using such fraud allegations as reason to send federal law enforcement to Minnesota, which is home to the largest Somali population in the U.S. Increased presence of federal agents has led to clashes between law enforcement and civilians, including two shootings in Minneapolis this month, one of which resulted in the death of Renee Nicole Good.

Omar, who has been a U.S. citizen since 2000, was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. After her family was sponsored for asylum in 1995, they arrived in Virginia and later moved to Minneapolis. Omar became the first Somali American in Congress and the first woman of color to represent Minnesota when she was elected to the House in 2019.

he did not share a public response to the president’s Truth Social post, and instead marked Martin Luther King Jr. Day by posting a quote to X from the late civil rights icon.

“’Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ I’m thinking of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words today as we see the immense love our community has for one another, especially in this time of deep injustice,” she wrote in a Monday, Jan. 19 post.
