Overview

  • Rep. Ilhan Omar told Daily Caller reporter Myles Morell to 'f*** off' when asked if more Democrats should travel to El Salvador to advocate for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
  • Omar later doubled down on her remarks via social media, stating, 'I said what I said. You and all your miserable trolls can f*** off.'
  • The exchange followed Democratic lawmakers' trips to El Salvador to push for the return of Garcia, who was deported by the Trump administration despite a court-ordered stay.
  • Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member, has been a contentious figure in debates over immigration enforcement and deportation policies.
  • Omar's remarks have drawn sharp criticism from conservative commentators, reigniting discussions on political rhetoric and press relations.
