Randy Fine’s call to expel Ilhan Omar from the United States marks a stunning escalation in America’s immigration and political wars. No longer content with censure or defeat at the ballot box, he is openly pursuing her removal from the country itself, framing Omar as the symbol of everything he believes is broken in U.S. immigration and welfare policy. Tying her fate to allegations of massive fraud in Minnesota, he casts her not just as a political opponent, but as proof of a system gone rotten.
At the same time, Trump’s renewed attacks and Tom Homan’s confirmation that DHS is reviewing Omar’s immigration history raise the stakes far beyond rhetoric. Omar, a refugee-turned-congresswoman, now stands at the center of a test of power: how far an administration will go, how far opponents will push back, and whether the line between political punishment and legal accountability can still be clearly drawn.
