Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill has publicly called for the deportation of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), arguing that the U.S. would be better off without her.

“America would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia,” Gill stated on the social media platform X.

Gill’s statement was accompanied by a video in which Omar appeared to instruct Somali immigrants—some potentially undocumented—on how to handle encounters with federal immigration officials. The video was initially shared by conservative commentator Greg Price, who claimed, “Ilhan Omar is now hosting workshops for Somalians living in the country illegally to advise them on how to avoid being deported.”

Many users on X supported Gill’s stance.

“She’s as anti-American as they come. She swore an oath to the United States but has consistently acted against it. She’s a fraud, a liar, and a traitor to this country!” one user wrote.

Another user questioned the legality of Omar’s actions, stating, “Isn’t this illegal? Expel her!”

A different commenter accused Omar of breaking federal laws, saying, “She is committing federal crimes by instructing illegal immigrants on how to evade ICE. She should be investigated and prosecuted.”

Following the backlash, Gill reinforced his position, writing, “We should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”

A spokesperson for Gill later elaborated on his position in a statement to The Hill. “Representative Omar’s actions raise serious concerns about her loyalties—whether they lie with the American people or with undocumented Somali immigrants. Representative Gill simply expressed that it is disgraceful for a sitting Congresswoman and U.S. citizen to assist illegal immigrants in avoiding deportation.”
