First-term GOP Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas is calling on the Trump administration to send Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) back to her homeland of Somalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmerica would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia,\u201d Gill wrote Tuesday on the X platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Included in Gill\u2019s tweet was a video clip featuring Omar, where she appears to be coaching fellow Somalis living in the U.S. \u2014 perhaps illegally \u2014 how to resist federal immigration officials. The video was posted by conservative influencer Greg Price, who wrote: \u201cIlhan Omar is now hosting workshops for Somalians living in the country illegally to advise them on how to avoid being deported.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several X users backed Gill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c100%! She\u2019s anti-American as they come. She pledged allegiance to the United States and has only ever acted against it. She\u2019s a fraud, liar, and traitor to this country!\u201d one wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t this against the law? Expel her!\u201d said<\/a> another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another user offered<\/a>: \u201cShe is committing federal crimes by telling illegal immigrants how to avoid ice. She deserves to be investigated and prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, Gill\u00a0wrote that\u00a0\u201cwe should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson for Gill\u00a0told\u00a0The Hill, \u201cRepresentative Omar\u2019s conduct raises questions about to whom she is most loyal- the American people or illegal aliens from Somalia. Representative Gill simply stated that it is disgraceful for a sitting Congresswoman and US citizen to facilitate the invasion of our country by illegal alien Somalis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the clip, Omar outlined what Somalians who are \u201cundocumented or who their documentation might have lapsed\u201d should do if they are questioned by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are not obligated to answer their questions. Just state that your are advised by a lawyer not to answer questions,\u201d Omar told the reporter. \u201cDisclosure 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 prefer them not to know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omar was asked about Gill\u2019s comments on Monday, where she told Zeteo\u2019s Mehdi Hasan that, \u201cThese people are just idiots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou and I have discussed people attacking you in the past, but you have this new freshman Congressional Representative, this lawmaker Brandon Gill, Republican who tweeted out that video of you and wrote America would be a better place if Ilhan Omar were deported back to Somalia. I mean I thought I\u2019d seen everything, and I\u2019ve seen a lot of attacks on you. But now you have a Republican colleague, dare I say, in the House saying to deport an American citizen, an American lawmaker, and an elected representative. How do you deal with that?\u201d Mehdi asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese people are just idiots \u2014 I really am at the point where it has become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day is frankly, embarrassing. Not just in Congress but as Americans, and the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things tells you that the dumbing of the United States has arrived, because how else do we get a Trump presidency again?\u201d Omar declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
