Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who was born in Somalia, has publicly stated that the United States is "turning into one of the worst countries on earth." Omar has expressed that the current state of the U.S. does not align with the vision of the Founding Fathers and has compared it unfavorably to Somalia, her country of origin. She has also indicated that her role in Congress includes protecting Somali interests and has spoken about her desire to eventually return to Somalia. These remarks have sparked widespread criticism, with some calling for her expulsion from Congress and questioning her loyalty to the United States.

Allegations have been raised regarding her immigration history, including claims of marriage fraud. Omar's comments have intensified debates about her representation and allegiance, with opponents urging her to leave the U.S. and return to Somalia.
