Ilhan Omar hit back at Texas legislator Brandon Gill after he claimed that “America would be a better place” if the Somali-American politician were deported.
Omar, 42, a representative for the 5th congress district of Minnesota, responded to Gill's call to remove her from the US by calling him a 'dumba **', according to Polico.
“How stupid you should be to be a member of the congress and think that your colleague who is a member of the congress can be deported,” she said. “What a dumba **.”
The politician also seemed to accuse Gill of an unfair advantage to claim his place in the American house of representatives in contrast to her own efforts.
'I am not a Nepo baby. I had to crawl my way to the congress, and I think these idiots who buy their seats have no idea what a privilege it is to be a member of the congress and what is needed, “Omar added.
Gill, 30, a Republican Congressman of the Lone Star State, posted on X on Tuesday: “America would be a better place if @ilhanmn was deported back to Somalia.”
The attack came when the Democratic politician organized a series of workshops that were aimed at training those who live 'illegally' in the country about 'how to prevent you from being deported'.

“We should never have left Ilhan Omar in our country,” said Gill, who currently serves his first term as the 26th district representative of the state.
His comments are linked to a clip shared by another X user, who displays the interview of the Minnesota Democrat with a reporter who discussed her 'illegal immigrants' Advocacy program.
A Gill spokesperson acknowledged the controversial call from the congressman and claimed that her actions were 'shameful'.
“Representative Omar's behavior raises questions about who she is most loyal- the American people or illegal alien beings from Somalia,” a spokesperson for Gill told The Hill.
“Representative Gill simply stated that it is shameful for a sitting congress and American citizen to facilitate the invasion of our country through illegal alien Somalis.”
Omar came to the US as a refugee in 1995 and became a naturalized citizen in 2000 at the age of 17. Since January 3, 2019, she held her position as a representative of the 5th Congress District of the State.
The 42-year-old politician informed Somalis who are 'undocumented or who may have expired their documentation' about what they should do if they are questioned by American immigration and customs enforcement officers in the now viral clip.
'You are not obliged to answer their questions. Just suppose you are advised by a lawyer not to answer questions, “she said in the near-minute-long video.
'Publication of your name, immigration status and input mode is not mandatory. Teach the laws and prepare and abstains from releasing information that you prefer not to know, “Omar added.
Elon Musk, 53, ally of President Donald Trump, was one of the many who responded to the recently upright clip of the Somali-American and wrote on Tuesday that she is breaking the law. Literal. Downy. '
However, Omar broke back to the technical billionaire who claims that Musk has 'insight' in the laws of the country.
“It just shows you how much he has no understanding of what the laws of the country are,” Omar said on Tuesday at CNN.
“It is important for people to practice their fifth amendment rights to remain silent, unless they are convinced that they have the legal protection they need,” she added.
“Nobody has to endanger themselves by talking to law enforcement if they don't have the advice of lawyers and we keep telling people.”
The politician also went to X, formerly Twitter, to call the richest man in the world a 'clown'.
“It is embarrassing that these people are just so easy to mislead and it is funny how their eagerness to bother me, they look so stupid, she wrote.

The legislator of Minnesota (right) was previously confronted with deportation calls last year after an incorrect clip of her speech, which was delivered in Somali, caused heavy play
'My advice, do your homework and stop believing every stupid racist rumor that you hear. I'm not going anywhere [clown emoji]. '
The legislator of Minnesota was previously confronted with deportation calls last year after an irreversible clip of her speech, which was delivered in Somali, caused heavy play.
At the time, the Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, 50, tried to censor Omar and told reporters that I would like to expel her; I think she should be deported, I do that honestly. '
The protest for the removal of the country from the country comes when the 47th President leads the largest massive deportation effort in American history.
