In yet another unhinged tirade that shows just how far the radical Left has drifted from reality, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) launched into a bizarre rant attacking U.S. immigration enforcement agencies and the American military — while outrageously claiming her native Somalia was “less tyrannical” than the United States.
The comments came during a recent media appearance in which Omar accused U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of “abducting people” and suggested that America is sliding into authoritarianism under President Trump. Her wild remarks, filled with the same anti-American venom that has made her one of Congress’s most controversial figures, quickly went viral — and not in the way she intended.
Omar began her rant with a baseless attack on federal agents. “Masked, armed men who are in plain clothes are snatching people off the streets, unwilling to identify themselves,” she complained. “You have the military being deployed in our streets.”
For good measure, she threw in some tired leftist buzzwords about “states’ rights” and a so-called “constitutional crisis.”
“My God, this is America,” Omar said, feigning outrage. “You have states’ rights being disregarded… and a president who has deployed the military, who are trained to kill our enemies, not Americans.”
Her words ignored the basic reality: federal agents were deployed to maintain law and order amid violent riots, looting, and attacks on police officers — chaos that Democrats like Omar not only refused to condemn, but often encouraged.
As she continued, Omar complained about President Trump’s proposed military parade, calling it the image of a “failed dictator.” In a truly shocking moment, she claimed, “I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don’t even remember witnessing anything like that.”
That comment — suggesting that Somalia, a nation ravaged by warlords, terrorism, and famine, is somehow more “democratic” than the United States — drew immediate backlash. Critics were quick to remind Omar that she came to America as a refugee, rescued from that very dictatorship she now nostalgically praises.
“Imagine fleeing a failed state like Somalia, being given asylum, freedom, and opportunity in the greatest country on earth — and then having the nerve to call it more oppressive than where you came from,” one outraged conservative posted on X. “Ilhan Omar is proof that gratitude is not guaranteed.”
Another user went even further: “Here is the domestic terrorist currently serving in the United States Congress. Ilhan Omar says the sh**hole country she fled from is better than the U.S. — the same country that saved her life. Unbelievable.”
Others called for action, demanding that Congress investigate Omar’s long list of alleged ethics violations and possible immigration fraud. “Can we do something about this ungrateful, law-breaking refugee?” one user asked. “She doesn’t represent America — she represents Somalia.”
Omar’s latest remarks are hardly an isolated incident. The Minnesota congresswoman — a member of the far-left “Squad” — has a history of inflammatory statements. She’s repeatedly smeared law enforcement, pushed to abolish ICE, and even referred to the 9/11 attacks dismissively as “some people did something.”
Her comparison of the United States to Somalia is not just absurd — it’s insulting to every American who believes in the Constitution and the rule of law. It’s the latest example of how Democrats like Omar use inflammatory rhetoric to divide the country and undermine public confidence in law enforcement.
The truth is, America’s immigration officers and soldiers risk their lives every day to keep this nation safe — something Omar should know better than anyone, given the sacrifices that made her own life in America possible.
But gratitude has never been her strong suit. For Ilhan Omar, every act of enforcement is “tyranny,” every display of patriotism is “authoritarian,” and every reminder of America’s greatness is an affront to her radical worldview.
The irony is staggering: a woman who escaped a failed state now spends her career trying to turn the United States into one.
