Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) has called for the deportation Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a U.S. citizen, to her birth country of Somalia.
“America would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia,” Gill wrote Tuesday on the social platform X.
Gill, a first-term lawmaker representing Texas’s 26th Congressional District, was responding to a clip another X user shared Tuesday of the Minnesota Democrat’s recent interview with a reporter.
Thirty minutes later, in another post, Gill wrote that “we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”
Omar came to the U.S. as a refugee in 1995 and became a naturalized citizen at 17 years old in 2000.
