The African Nation, the Republic of Somaliland, is calling for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mn.), to be extradited after Vice President JD Vance made a claim during an interview that the lawmaker committed immigration fraud.
Vance made the comment in a podcast interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson, and the partially recognized African state, reacted to the comment in a social media post.
“Deportation? Please you’re just sending the princess back to her kingdom. Extradition? Say the word ” the post said.
In the interview, Vance also said that he has spoken with White House immigration advisor Stephen Miller about potentially taking legal action against Omar, further saying the two “think Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.”
“We’re trying to look at what the remedies are,” Vance said during the interview. “That’s the thing that we’re trying to figure out is what are the legal remedies now that we know that she’s committed immigration fraud — how do you go after her, how do you investigate her, how do you actually do the thing, how do you build a case necessary to get some justice for the American people?”
Omar has repeatedly denied the accusations, which have also been strewn by President Donald Trump and the White House, which claim the lawmaker married her brother to enter the U.S.
In a social media post from December, Omar called the accusations “bigoted lies,” adding that Trump was obsessed with her.
“He needs serious help,” Omar wrote on X. “Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.”

Everybody knows omar is a corrupt fraud , but there she is setting in office getting paid , nothing done her
Nothing ever happens. Crime pays.
I sure wish every time someone says we got them, or they are done would actually happen.
Im SO done with hearing this stuff about Ilhan Omar.. if it was an every day American that has done these things.. we'd be dealt with VERY HARSHLY
Denaturalize and deport
WHAT are THE REMEDIES ? HOLY F**K. Lawyers , legislators, past prosecutors in Congress and the quote is " we're looking for ways to go forward " WOW . Just SCREAMS INCOMPETENCE of 2 Tiered justice
in another story; obama appointed judge ends extradition decree for ilhan omar end of story
Rid Islamic members from congress.
Nothing will happen to her ,this is all for show, do you remember hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, the auto pen,and the many more people that never pay the price.
Jail
I'm with you hidden dragon. This is b*******, all they do is talk, talk and no action. This woman should have been arrested to deport it months ago.
All it is is sectionalization of news
People of this country needs to take her out since the justice dept won't.
Safari Africa one way to go… hell yeah….
Omar is the type of individual America loves, otherwise she would have already been deported
Hope so
She should be in prison now
America one of the most corrupt countries in the world today
With bells whistles and a bow, good riddance.
She needs to go, but this is like every video for months saying she'll be deported or the View is off the air or Obama's been arrested.
In 1 year she went from no money to 30 million?
Why is getting omar out taking so long ??? Get her out of congress, seize her assets and deport her with just the clothes on her back.
I don't understand why they let someone work in Congress if they weren't born in America. They should pass a new law that says only American citizens should work in Congress or the Senate, just like with presidents.
Nothing will happen to her. She might run for president and win👀
She isn't being 'targeted.'…..shes a fraud and your reporting is awful
