Trump Responds To Calls To Send Ilhan Omar Packing

President Donald Trump refused on Tuesday to endorse calls for removing Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota from the country, one day after Homeland Security Investigations agents searched her Washington, D. C. , home. Before leaving for an Alaska rally, he criticized her sharply, saying he does not think she "loves our country at all," yet stated he was staying neutral on the question of deportation, according to Daily Wire.

The Justice Department says the search was carried out under a warrant approved by a court. Fox News reported that the inquiry concerns immigration paperwork her late father filed when she was a child. Omar, a Democrat, arrived from Somalia as a refugee in 1995 and became a citizen in 2000. She responded on X that the operation was an effort to go after political opponents, and she accused Trump of a decade of smears.

Vice President JD Vance said he had no advance warning of the search and that he and Trump generally avoid involvement in Justice Department cases. He noted that serious allegations exist and will be examined, with any case pursued only if facts support it. Daily Wire also recounts that Trump has previously urged sending Omar and Rep.
