Somalian refugee Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a member of the radical ‘Squad’ in U.S. Congress, went on a rampage this week against Elon Musk, who is leading President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency.
Omar is also being blasted for recently giving advice to Somalian illegal aliens on how to avoid evade deportation.
From Fox News: Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., slammed President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk on Monday for their efforts to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), while also accusing the president of starting a dictatorship.
Omar and several other Democratic lawmakers spoke outside the USAID building in Washington, D.C., damning the efforts made by Trump and Musk to take control of independent agencies like USAID and strip them down to cut away wasteful spending.
“It is a really, really sad day in America. We are witnessing a constitutional crisis,” Omar said. “We talked about Trump wanting to be a dictator on day one. And here we are. This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks like when you gut the Constitution, and you install yourself as the sole power. That is how dictators are made.”
She continued, saying Trump, Musk and their “cronies” are attempting to take away Congress’ constitutional power of deciding where money is allocated.
Omar didn’t explain how cutting wasteful government spending is equal to “gutting the Constitution.”
Ilhan Omar is very upset about how Trump is dismantling USAID, which she claims makes him a “dictator.”

Omar also stood by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, at a press briefing on January 28, as he announced that his city will not cooperate with ICE in their efforts to deport illegal aliens.
“I want to speak directly to people who are undocumented: we love you. We care about you,” Frey declared. “In the city of Minneapolis, we will stand up for you and we will do anything in our power to help because you’re not an alien; in our city, you’re a neighbor.”
Frey said in Minnesota, police officers do not gather information showing who is and who is not ‘documented’ and will not be cooperating with federal law enforcement regarding immigration laws.
At the same event, Omar spoke to the media and gave instructions to illegal aliens from Somalia on how to avoid ICE.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The following video has gone viral on social media, but Omar claims it is edited. Someone allegedly added footage from a seminar to the video, which Omar says she did not attend. However, Omar has not denied her remarks included in the video as she spoke to a reporter.
According to a translation, she said:
I advise the Somalian people that if ICE attempts to question you, you are not obligated to answer their questions. Just state that you were advised by a lawyer not to answer questions.
Disclosure of your name, immigration status and the mode of entry is not mandatory. Learn the laws and prepare yourself, and refrain from disclosing information that you would prefer them not know.

Elon Musk responded to the video of Omar giving advice to Somalians on how to dodge federal ICE agents, and declared, “She is breaking the law. Literally. Outright.”
Omar fired back, claiming, “Hey Elon👋🏽 Every single person in this country deserves to know their rights. That’s legal. Maybe you should brush up on our laws given the fact you’re breaking them to steal American’s sensitive data.”
“PS. This video is manipulated, and I wasn’t even at the event shown,” she added. However, she did not deny her remarks to the the media, in which she gave advice to illegal aliens on how to evade ICE.
