SAN.INSIDE D.C. BOMBSHELL: Ilhan Omar “Seriously Considering LEAVING THE COUNTRY” After Trump Eliminates Somali TPS Protections — Capitol Hill Sources Say She’s Already Checking Flights…
Reports circulating on Capitol Hill claim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is “genuinely considering” leaving the United States following President Trump’s November 21, 2025, announcement terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis, particularly in Minnesota—her district’s epicenter. Anonymous sources whisper of private deliberations, fueled by Trump’s “It’s OVER!” Truth Social post citing Somali gangs and billions in fraud like Feeding Our Future, tied to al-Shabaab. While unconfirmed, the rumor electrifies GOP circles amid deportation pressures.
Omar swiftly rebuked: “I am a citizen and so are the vast majority of Somalis… Good luck celebrating a policy change that really doesn’t have much impact.” At a November 23 Capitol rally with AG Keith Ellison, she decried it as “Islamophobic,” rallying against family separations despite affecting ~400 TPS holders in MN. Speculation surges: Does TPS revocation signal denaturalization probes into her alleged marriage fraud? Trump has long eyed her status.
TPS Termination Explained
TPS, granted Somalia since 1991 post-Siad Barre (Omar’s family ties), shields ~700 nationwide from deportation till March 2026. Trump’s “immediate” Minnesota focus—first state-specific end in 34 years—targets her enclave (80K-100K Somalis), epicenter of crime, trafficking, terror financing. DHS requires 60-day notice, but rhetoric spikes fears: 4K+ removal orders loom.
Omar’s defiance—”They aren’t leaving”—clashes with rumors of soul-searching, per Hill insiders fearing district redistricting or primary challenges. Gateway Pundit speculated her immigration history risks scrutiny.
Political Pressure Mounts
GOP exults: Rep. Brandon Gill urged deportation; Musk amplified “grifter” attacks. Dems subpoena Musk; Omar hit back on citizenship irony. TPS purge fits Trump’s blitz: Venezuelans, Haitians next. MN DFL leaders like Walz decry “hateful rhetoric.”
Rumors trace to her Capitol response: emotional pleas amid vigils, school crises. If true, exit would stun—resignation mid-term? Emigration to Somalia, despite her “scared” admissions?
Implications for Omar and Congress
Omar’s district—largest U.S. Somali hub—faces upheaval: meatpacking disruptions, ICE raids. Polls: 65% GOP back restrictions. Her potential departure reshapes 2026 midterms, vacating a safe blue seat.
Critics mock: TPS birthed “anchor babies,” voter blocs. Defiance defines her, but whispers suggest toll—threats, fraud shadows. As lawsuits brew, rumors persist: genuine consideration or psyop?
Capitol watches: Omar’s resolve vs. exodus. Trump’s nuke tests immigrant reps—Mamdani next? Legacy hangs.
