‘DEPORT ME’: Ilhan Omar Makes Threat – Trump Then Makes EPIC Announcement
Trump’s rhetoric expanded to target Somali refugees and Somali-Americans more broadly, arguing that the United States had spent substantial resources on Somalia and had received little in return. He described Somali immigrants as burdensome, claiming they had caused the U.S. significant trouble and cost taxpayers money. This framing invoked themes of economic nationalism, suggesting that America’s foreign aid and refugee admissions should be reevaluated or curtailed. Trump asserted that his administration would no longer accept “their people” and even suggested that the U.S. should begin sending Somali immigrants back. These comments not only intensified the personal conflict with Omar but also signaled a renewed campaign strategy focused on immigration restrictions, refugee vetting, and national security.
