Trump Calls for Expelling Somali Immigrants, Revives Baseless Attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar

His post followed an unverified far-right report about large cash transfers that independent outlets have not corroborated.

Overview

  • On Truth Social, Trump wrote that Somali immigrants "should be thrown out of the USA" and included Rep. Ilhan Omar in the demand.
  • He repeated a long-running claim that Omar married her brother, which multiple news investigations have found no evidence to support.
  • Trump was reacting to a Just The News article asserting a federal probe into roughly $130 million moved in cash from Minneapolis to overseas via Columbus, Ohio.
  • The cash-transfer claims originate from a partisan outlet and remain unverified by independent officials or corroborated reporting.
  • The incident underscores how unproven allegations about Omar and Somali communities persist in pro-Trump media networks.
