Overview

  • Rep. Ilhan Omar told Daily Caller reporter Myles Morell to 'fuck off' twice when asked if more Democrats should travel to El Salvador to support Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
  • The exchange, captured on video and widely shared online, has intensified discussions about the tone of political interactions and media relations.
  • Garcia, deported under the Trump administration, is alleged to have MS-13 ties and is at the center of a contentious Supreme Court ruling facilitating his return to the U.S.
  • Recent visits to El Salvador by Democratic lawmakers, including Sen. Chris Van Hollen, have aimed to highlight perceived due-process errors in Garcia's deportation.
  • El Salvador's president has refused to allow Garcia's re-entry, further complicating the case and fueling partisan debates over immigration policy.
