First-term GOP Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas is calling on the Trump administration to send Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) back to her homeland of Somalia.

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

Included in Gill’s tweet was a video clip featuring Omar, where she appears to be coaching fellow Somalis living in the U.S. — perhaps illegally — how to resist federal immigration officials. The video was posted by conservative influencer Greg Price, who wrote: “Ilhan Omar is now hosting workshops for Somalians living in the country illegally to advise them on how to avoid being deported.”

Several X users backed Gill.

“100%! She’s anti-American as they come. She pledged allegiance to the United States and has only ever acted against it. She’s a fraud, liar, and traitor to this country!” one wrote.

“Isn’t this against the law? Expel her!” said another.

Another user offered: “She is committing federal crimes by telling illegal immigrants how to avoid ice. She deserves to be investigated and prosecuted.”

Later, Gill wrote that “we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”

A spokesperson for Gill told The Hill, “Representative Omar’s conduct raises questions about to whom she is most loyal- the American people or illegal aliens from Somalia. Representative Gill simply stated that it is disgraceful for a sitting Congresswoman and US citizen to facilitate the invasion of our country by illegal alien Somalis.”

In the clip, Omar outlined what Somalians who are “undocumented or who their documentation might have lapsed” should do if they are questioned by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

“You are not obligated to answer their questions. Just state that your are advised by a lawyer not to answer questions,” Omar told the reporter. “Disclosure of your name, immigration status, and the mode of entry is not mandatory. Learn the laws and prepare yourself and refrain from disclosing information that you prefer them not to know.”

Omar was asked about Gill’s comments on Monday, where she told Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan that, “These people are just idiots.”

“You and I have discussed people attacking you in the past, but you have this new freshman Congressional Representative, this lawmaker Brandon Gill, Republican who tweeted out that video of you and wrote America would be a better place if Ilhan Omar were deported back to Somalia. I mean I thought I’d seen everything, and I’ve seen a lot of attacks on you. But now you have a Republican colleague, dare I say, in the House saying to deport an American citizen, an American lawmaker, and an elected representative. How do you deal with that?” Mehdi asked.

“These people are just idiots — I really am at the point where it has become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day is frankly, embarrassing. Not just in Congress but as Americans, and the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things tells you that the dumbing of the United States has arrived, because how else do we get a Trump presidency again?” Omar declared.
