One of my Republican colleagues in the House sent out a fundraising email this week calling for my deportation.
John — it’s Ilhan Omar. I’m appalled.
One of my Republican colleagues in the House, Rep. Brandon Gill, sent out a fundraising email this week calling for my deportation, and asking his supporters to sign a petition to make it happen.
Take a look for yourself at what he sent:
Reprehensible, racist, and un-American. The email went on to say that I was “facilitating a full-scale invasion of our country," and that I am committing “treason.”
Threatening to deport legal US citizens because you disagree with them is fascism. Full stop. But I expect nothing less from the GOP under Trump and Elon Musk.
John, it’s clear that the far-right has been emboldened and out of control since Trump took office.
Just look at what they are doing to our federal government.
Elon Musk is illegally slashing crucial agencies and programs while protecting funding for his companies, like SpaceX. They’re scaling back the core functions of our government so they can line the pockets of their billionaire friends. It’s like the wildest dreams of the ultra-rich finally coming true.
Our best response to the far-right in this moment is to organize all of our people, all our resources, all of the tools we have at our disposal, to stand against Trump’s administration.
If that sounds like a plan to you, please, split a contribution between my campaign and Pramila's so we can continue to fight back. We are organizing to block Trump’s agenda in every way we can, but we need your help to get it done.

The far-right may be emboldened right now, but the American people are already seeing through their extremist agenda. It’s our job to keep exposing them each and every day.
In solidarity,
Ilhan Omar
