The African Nation, the Republic of Somaliland, is calling for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mn.), to be extradited.
by ANISSA REYES | The National News DeskWASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 13: U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar , Deputy Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, listens to other members of the CPC at a press conference at the U.
S. Capitol on January 13, 2026 in Washington, DC. The Congressional Progressive Caucus discussed DHS funding and the death of Renee Good in Minneapolis. 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."This is rich coming from someone who literally said they were willing to ‘create stories’ to redirect the media," the statement said. "This is a ridiculous lie and desperate attempt to distract from the pedophile protection party’s unpopular war of choice, increasing gas prices, and rapidly dropping polling numbers.
