And by the way, Marjie! Ilhan Omar is a US Citizen. She cannot be deported. The only way she can be removed from Congress, as with George Santos, is for a majority of US House to expel her and that is NOT going to happen. She can be UNELECTED come November.
You Marjie, have NO proof Omar is an agent of Somalia.

(17,802 posts)If naturalized, there are rare instances where your citizenship can be revoked, and you can be deported.
Usually it involves obtaining your citizenship under false statement, but there are other conditions as well.
Just pointing that out. Not advocating it.
Not that green head understands the law let alone nuances.....

(24,299 posts)We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government, Greene, R-Ga., said in the tweet. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrats traitorous America Last policies, we are done.

(196,391 posts)Republican lawmakers and commentators questioned U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omars allegiance to the United States even calling for her to be deported over a video clip with an inaccurate translation of her remarks from Somali to English.
Omar told the audience that Somalia would remain united, and that she would use her influence to keep it that way.
Social media posts have asserted Omar said they are people who know they are Somalians first, Muslims second.
Neither of the Reformers translations show she said Somalians first, Muslims second.

(11,203 posts)MTG has actively sided with the failed insurrectionists against the US government (treasonous at same level) both in public for media attention, and at events when trolling for votes and donations.
Omar should either outright apologize, or explain that saying she doesn't prioritize American interests over those of her birth country was merely said to energize potential voters and affirm that she would voice their concerns.
She was pandering and, IMO, went way too far.

(1,416 posts)snip-the reporter notes problems with the translation and continues:
We Somalis are people who love each other. Its possible that we might sometimes have disagreements but we are also people who can rely on each other. We are people who are siblings. We are people with courage. We are people who know that they are Somali and Muslim. We are people who support each other.
The Reformer article also notes that [a] devout Muslim like Omar would have faced outrage from the largely Muslim audience had she placed her religion second, according to one translator.
