NEW: Petition To Deport Ilhan Omar Gains Steam

0


A burgeoning movement to move Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) back to Somalia is gaining steam this week after a Republican colleague circulated a petition to “deport” her.

In a petition-gathering email obtained by Axios, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) wrote that “America would be in a much better place” if the “Squad” member were denaturalized and deported back to her home country. Omar has lived in the U.S. since 1995 and became a naturalized citizen in 2000.

Gill outlined his grievances with Omar, accusing her of teaching Somalians living in the U.S. illegally how to “evade” capture by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement.

“Friend, we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country. And frankly, America would be a much better place if she were to be sent back to Somalia,” Gill writes. She is “more loyal to illegal Somalians” than U.S. citizens or her oath of office, his email goes on, adding that she is “facilitating a full-scale invasion of our country” and suggesting she could be found guilty of “treason.”

On February 4th, video was released of Rep. Omar telling an audience in Arabic to refrain from cooperating with ICE if questioned.

“I advise the Somalian people that if ICE attempts to question you. You are not obligated to answer their questions. Just state 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 to know,” she said, according to a translation by the Daily Caller.

“America would be a better place if Ilhan Omar were deported back to Somalia,” Rep. Gill wrote, quote-tweeting Omar’s interview.

Earlier this week, a Somali community organizer revealed that Minnesota’s Somali community was largely aware that Omar had married her biological brother in a bid to qualify him for student loans and live in the U.S. legally. The rumor had persisted for years and been denounced by Omar as a “racist” and “Islamophobic” lie perpetuated by political enemies.

After divorcing her first husband in 2008, Omar married her brother Ahmed Elmi the following year, according to Abdihakim Osman, a former friend of the Squad congresswoman. He is the first person to come forward and confirm that it was Rep. Omar’s intention all along to get her brother papers to live in the U.S. Because of the lack of paperwork in war-torn Somalia, no paperwork of their sibling relationship is available, allowing her deception to fly under the radar for two decades.

“She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers to allow him to stay in this country,” Osman told the Daily Mail.

In 2017, Omar divorced Elmi and remarried her first husband shortly before her first campaign for office. But “they never parted,” Osman stated, adding they had been romantically involved all along while Omar kept a paper marriage to her brother.

Appearing on CNN, Rep. Gill defended his position on Omar.

“I didn’t call for her to be deported, but I did say that America would be better off were she deported,” he said two days after his first pronouncement. “I think that there is a serious problem, particularly given after the past four years of open borders of Democrats facilitating the invasion of our country by illegal aliens. My colleague, Ilhan Omar, was advising illegal alien Somalis on how to evade ICE detection. That is as un-American as you can possibly get — it’s unbecoming of a congress person and I absolutely think that it is disgusting.”
