This “group” has already done more for this country then she EVER will…
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., continued attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday, claiming that it was “un-American” for the agency to detain immigrants suspected of violating the law.
“It’s un-American to criminalize immigrants for wanting to come to this country for a better life. This is why ICE to be defunded,” she tweeted.
She was responding to a report that ICE requested additional space for housing detainees in her home state of Minnesota. According to MPR News, Shelbourne County proposed meeting ICE’s request by expanding its jail so that it could house 500 immigrant detainees.
About three-fourths of ICE detainees in 2018 had previous criminal convictions, MPR News reported. While ICE generally focuses on detaining immigrants with criminal histories, the agency arrests other illegal immigrants as well.
ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
The latest attack on the agency came after Acting ICE Director Mark Morgan told Fox News on Wednesday that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s push for abolition was “absolutely irresponsible.”
“Last year alone 34,000 criminal arrests, 5,000 gang members arrested. Thousands of cases of child smuggling exploitation, human trafficking,” he said.
In 2018, ICE announced that it raided businesses in Nebraska and Minnesota, resulting in 133 arrests for immigration violations.
Omar, who has called for ICE’s abolition, posted that tweet at a time when the United States faced a “full-blown emergency” at the border and authorities struggled to house the massive influx of migrants. Her comments prompted plenty of pushback online.
Under President Trump’s administration, Democrats vehemently denounced the immigration enforcement agency while some, like Omar, called for its abolition.
Omar previously called for a freeze in spending for the Homeland Security Department, which leads ICE and, in May, reiterated her call to abolish the agency.
“So what are we asking for? What we are asking for is very simple. We need to make sure that we cut, and not put increases on spending on detention facilities. We need to stop using DHS as a slush fund,” she said.
“We need to abolish ICE and end all inhumane deportation and detention programs. We need to fight back against the criminalization of immigrants and those crossing the border. We need to create a fair and accessible path to legal status and citizenship for all undocumented people in the United States.”

You’re CRAZY IIhan Omar! You’re just trying to get immigrants who will easily put Democrats in office so you can take over our country! You don’t care about these people! You don’t even believe in America! You have no business being a Representative!
Exactly! Also remember we’re talking an America-hating individual who married her biological brother in a sham marriage just to get him in our country. Ilhan Omar is a prime example of why America has to stop this asylum status garbage that allows an Anti-American like Omar to come here and get everything free like she did when she first cam here.
Mary? Please stop calling her a rep. She is a straight up ENEMY of the United States. She’s and Rasheed and Ocrazio are about as much a rep as I am a millionaire. They all need to be taken out and HUNG in the public courtyard.
I could not have said it any better !!
What does an illegal immigrant who committed fraud in applying for U.S. Citizenship and who is a sleeper Muslim terrorist agent know about being “Un-American”??
You want to see ‘Un American”? Look in the mirror Sweethart.
AMEN! YOU NAILED IT!
How does she know what being American means. She’s a Muslim planted in the government to overthrow America. Her hearts desire is to see the Muslims take over our country from the inside. That’s why she wants open borders. It will be the end of America if they get their way and the stupid Democrats are buying into the whole plan.
You want to see Un American?? Look in the mirror Sweetheart.
Send her BACK to her country ASAP.
Omar is the un-American one in the bunch. I wish ICE could send her back where she came
from. Maybe that is why she dislikes them so, she is afraid they might send her back to Somalia.
We should be so lucky.
Ignorant Af-Frick-en brother loving/marring inbreed POS terrorist, bless her little heart.
WHAT A PILE OF SHIT THIS WOMEN IS WHY DO WE LET THIS GO ON, MUSLIM PIECE OF SHIT FUCK THAT BITCH
Omar is the one who is un-American !!Send her back to her own country. We do not need Muslims telling us we are unamerican.
IF SHE DOES NOT LIKE OUR COUNTRY THE GET OUT!@!
Raghead, take the rag off your head. It’s so tight you have BRAIN FREEZE.
This woman may well be too stupid to live, but she is most definitely too stupid to play ANY role in legislation. Her perspective is gravely colored by Her cultural heritage, and she appears to lack completely, the level of judgement required to do her job. I find I offensive that the American taxpayers will have to pay her congressional pension forever.
Omar is NOT a legal American to begin with. She married her brother to stay in this country. That alone is ILLEGAL!!!
Cumming from the mouth of a Dirty, Hateful, Lying, Incestuous, Scuzlim, N!gger Kunt. From a nation of below retardation average IQ Inbreed Pirates. May she be Gang Raped & Beheaded according to her Satanic book of Lies!
Who is she to say that ANYONE’s un-American?
Somebody needs to let this Muslim that arresting illegals for breaking the law is exactly how America works! This is not the third world country you came from and we do not want criminals in our country,
Your Muslim mentality is more than enough for a civilized country! If your so concerned about what’s
American or not, you need to assimilate to this country, AMERICA, you ungrateful uncivilized pos!
she’s the “un-American”! she needs to be stripped of her citizenship & shipped to wherever she came from & where she can spread her hate for America!
I just read that a large group of Africans from Ebola-stricken countries crossed the border illegally and the BP dropped them off in San Antonio, maybe we should send them to Omar’s district and specially set them on her doorstep- in the congress building!
Only when these idiots leftist racist anti-American, hateful politicians have to live in the same fear as the rest of us and suffer the consequences of their decisions that affect the rest of us, will they change their behavior. look at the outrage from the left when Trump said he would send illegals to sanctuary cities lol, suddenly their love, compassion, tolerance, virtue signals and huge big hearts that give other peoples money- Were horrified! And then they called Trump a Racist for trying to send them what they say they want! Go figure the illogical behavior of liberals.
