Ilhan Omar Rebukes Deportation Call and Defends Legal Advice Rights

The Minnesota congresswoman responds to Republican Brandon Gill's call for her deportation and Elon Musk's promotion of a manipulated video falsely accusing her of illegal activity.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) called for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a U.S. citizen, to be deported to Somalia, citing her alleged disloyalty to the U.S.
Elon Musk shared a manipulated video falsely claiming Omar conducted seminars advising undocumented immigrants on evading deportation, which Omar clarified was not true.
Omar emphasized that educating individuals on their legal rights, including Fifth Amendment protections, is lawful and necessary.
The congresswoman criticized Musk for spreading misinformation and questioned his understanding of U.S. laws, referencing his controversial actions involving government systems.
The incident highlights ongoing political divisions over immigration policies, with Republicans supporting stricter measures under President Trump's administration and progressives opposing them.
