Somalian refugee Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is fuming over President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to deport illegal alien criminals from the United States.
During a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York just ahead of Election Day, Trump had announced, “On Day 1, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out. I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail, then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible.”
Monday morning, Trump responded to a Truth Social post by Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton, who wrote, “GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.”
“TRUE!!!” Trump replied.
Omar, who came to the U.S. as a refugee when she was a teen, came unglued during a post on X Monday afternoon.
“Donald Trump plans to declare a national emergency and utilize the Alien Enemies Act to conduct mass deportations. This xenophobia and cruelty shouldn’t be allowed in America. We are going to fight it every step of the way,” she raged.

I have a feeling he’s gonna deport many of your Somalian friends in your district. The hammer of Justice is coming. We legal immigrants that came here the right way love this. Deport every illegal in America.

I’ll make it easier for you to understand: Just imagine that it’s a hundreds of thousands of Israelis arriving in Somalia.

It’s not xenophobia. It’s called breaking the law. You want to come here? Do it the right way and get in line and follow the process

Nothing xenophobic about this. If you’re in the country illegally you need to get out. I don’t care what your race, your religion, or your background is. You broke the law to come into the country. You’re breaking the law to stay in the country. And many are probably breaking…
