‘DEPORT ME’: Ilhan Omar Makes Threat – Trump Then Makes EPIC Announcement

The heated exchange quickly spilled onto social media and into national headlines. Following the speech, Trump took to his preferred platform to respond with unusually harsh language directed at Omar and fellow Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib. In his post, the president described both lawmakers as “lunatics” with “bulging, bloodshot eyes” and suggested they should be sent “back from where they came,” despite both being American citizens. His remarks echoed a long‑running pattern of attacks against his political opponents but were widely condemned by critics as xenophobic and inflammatory.

Omar, who was born in Somalia and came to the United States as a refugee before becoming a naturalized citizen, fired back at the suggestion that she could or should be deported. She framed the president’s comments as part of a broader strategy of political intimidation, noting that calls for her removal from the country are unconstitutional and dangerous. Omar’s stance has drawn support from civil liberties advocates and many Democrats, who argue that such rhetoric undermines democratic norms and targets lawmakers for their political views.
