In a fiery new remark that reignited a long-running political controversy, President Donald Trump today launched a sharp attack on Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, again questioning her immigration history and arguing she should be removed from the United States.

Speaking during a policy event focused on border security and national safety, Trump pointed to Omar’s Somali-American background and repeated the years-old allegation that she entered the United States through “fraud.” He referred directly to claims that Omar once married her brother — accusations that have circulated online for years but remain unproven and unsupported by verified evidence.

According to Trump, the U.S. “should throw her the hell out of the country,” insisting that individuals who “don’t respect America” should not be serving in Congress. His comments come amid a wider push by his administration to intensify immigration enforcement following a recent shooting incident near the White House allegedly involving an Afghan migrant. Trump used the incident to argue that the U.S. must act aggressively against what he calls the “importing of danger.”

The renewed attack on Omar immediately fueled political debate. Critics say Trump’s remarks target Omar for her origins rather than her actions, adding that publicly pressuring for the removal of an elected representative over unverified claims crosses a dangerous line. Civil-rights groups warned that such rhetoric could embolden anti-immigrant sentiment, particularly toward Somali and Muslim communities.

Omar has long denied the claims about her marriage, calling them a politically motivated smear designed to delegitimize her voice in Congress. So far, no official legal action has been initiated regarding her citizenship or immigration status, and no new evidence has surfaced to support the allegations Trump cited today.

Despite the controversy, Trump’s remarks signal that he is placing renewed focus on high-profile immigrant critics as part of his broader effort to reshape U.S. immigration policy. For many observers, the comments show that the political battle between Trump and Omar, one of Congress’s most outspoken progressive voices — is far from over.
