Trump calls for ‘Scammer’ Rep. Omar to be jailed or deported back to Somalia

President Trump unleashed a blistering Truth Social attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) — calling for the Somali immigrant to be locked up or deported, while linking her to the state’s massive human services fraud scandal.

“The Theft and Fraud in Minnesota is far greater than the 19 Billion Dollars originally projected,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Saturday morning. 

“The Biden Administration knew this FRAUD was happening, and did absolutely nothing about it. “Scammer” Ilhan Omar and her absolutely terrible friends from Somalia should all be in jail right now, or, far worse, send them back to Somalia,” Trump wrote referencing the massive human services fraud scandal roiling the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

The scandal dates back to 2021, with at least $250 million in COVID-era fraud revolving around the Feeding Our Future program. It now includes more than 75 defendants, most of Somali descent.
