‘Deport Me’: Ilhan Omar and Trump Clash After Heated Exchange — Trump Makes Bold Announcement
Washington — A political firestorm erupted this week in the United States as Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota engaged in a highly charged public confrontation following the 2026 State of the Union address.
The dispute began on the floor of Congress when Omar, a U.S. citizen and one of the few Muslim women in Congress, loudly challenged Trump’s remarks about immigration enforcement and public safety. During the lengthy address, the president touted his administration’s aggressive immigration policies, including expanded enforcement operations in cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul. Omar interrupted the speech, shouting that the policies had “killed Americans,” a reference to recent deaths that occurred during enforcement actions in her district. Civil rights activists and lawmakers have sharply criticized those operations as heavy‑handed and harmful to immigrant communities.
