Omar Condemns Trump’s “Creepy” Anti-Somali Tirade

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has responded sharply to President Donald Trump after he launched into a series of attacks against her and the Somali community in Minnesota. During a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Trump described Omar and other Somali immigrants as “garbage,” suggesting they should leave the United States.

“His obsession with me is creepy,” Omar posted on social media, adding, “I hope he gets the help he desperately needs.”

The President’s remarks follow a recent tightening of immigration policies, fueled by the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., allegedly by an Afghan immigrant evacuated from Afghanistan in 2021. Trump used the incident to justify stricter immigration controls from what he termed “third-world countries,” including Somalia.

“We’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She’s garbage. Her friends are garbage,” Trump stated.

Omar, a former refugee from Somalia and the first Somali American to serve in Congress, represents a district in Minnesota with a large Somali diaspora.

This is not the first time Trump has targeted Omar and the Somali community. His previous actions include the “Muslim ban,” which restricted immigration from Somalia, and criticisms related to a COVID-era welfare embezzlement scandal in which some Somali immigrants were charged. The Trump administration recently launched an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Minnesota that also appears to be targeting this specific population.

Critics have condemned Trump’s comments as racist. The progressive group Justice Democrats called the attacks “disgustingly racist,” stating, “This is all Trump knows how to do when he has to distract from his own administration’s failures. Stoke hate, divide our communities, & send ICE in to terrorize our neighbors. Pathetic.”
