A congressman looking to curb “Dual Loyalty” on Capitol Hill called out Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) in particular, whom he argued, “Shouldn’t be in the United States at all.”
Concerns about illegal immigration supported by Democrats have extended beyond the so-called sanctuary cities to their own caucus. Now, as allegations of fraud have renewed questions about Omar’s legal status in the United States, Florida Rep. Randy Fine (R) called out her “Somali loyalty” among other reasons he believes she should get the boot from Congress and the country.
“She’s a problem on so many levels,” he told Benny Johnson on the host’s eponymous podcast while raising allegations of fraud. “You talk about the Somali loyalty. There’s the issue of immigration fraud, which is the real issue that we’re waiting on. There’s a belief by many, and the president has talked about it, that she married her brother in order to help bring him into the United States.”
Rep. Randy Fine Demands Ilhan Omar Be REMOVED from Congress and America, Will Move to EXPEL Her When Evidence Is Released.

“We have seen a massive problem with immigration fraud in the Somali community. But then there is the third level of problem, which is welfare fraud, where we’ve seen tens of billions of dollars of fraud in Minnesota, where we see that more than 80% of Somalis that have come to the United States continue to be on our welfare programs,” Fine went on. “And it appears that Ilhan Omar is tied up to her neck in all of that.”
While Omar recently received scrutiny over adjustments to her financial disclosure and her husband’s sudden shuttering of his wine business, Fine referenced how she refused to turn over documents requested by the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, which subsequently failed to issue a subpoena after Democrat members refused to support the move.
Put simply, the Florida lawmaker argued, “Someone who engaged in immigration fraud not only shouldn’t be in Congress, they shouldn’t be in the United States at all.”
Fine also spoke to his argument in favor of his bill that aims to ban foreign citizens from serving in Congress, dubbed the Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act, which extends beyond Omar to any lawmaker who maintains ties to a country of origin other than the United States.
“The Ilhan Omars of the world, the Delia Ramirez of the world, the Jayapals of the world, all of them have ties to foreign countries, ties that may include citizenship. And I simply don’t think we should have that in the United States Congress,” Fine told Johnson.

Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez (D) infamously declared herself to be a “proud Guatemalan before” being an American last year by slamming “the nativist, white supremacist, authoritarians in government.” Likewise, the India-born Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D), who has called for reparations for illegal aliens and abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, sparked new controversy last week when she admitted to working with other countries to get oil to Cuba in defiance of President Donald Trump’s sanctions.
Fine’s legislation is cosponsored by Reps. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, Cory Mills of Florida, Andy Harris of Maryland, Pat Harrigan of North Carolina, Abraham Hamadeh of Arizona, Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee, and Keith Self of Texas.
Concerning Omar’s continued presence in the country, Trump himself has said, “Ilhan Omar … comes here from Somalia, and she tells us how to run the United States of America. She says, she says, the Constitution gives me certain rights … and I demand that I be given these rights. Get the hell out. What a phony.”
