Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., continued attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday, claiming that it was "un-American" for the agency to detain immigrants suspected of violating the law.
"It’s un-American to criminalize immigrants for wanting to come to this country for a better life. This is why ICE to be defunded," she tweeted.
She was responding to a report that ICE requested additional space for housing detainees in her home state of Minnesota. According to MPR News, Shelbourne County proposed meeting ICE's request by expanding its jail so that it could house 500 immigrant detainees.
About three-fourths of ICE detainees in 2018 had previous criminal convictions, MPR News reported. While ICE generally focuses on detaining immigrants with criminal histories, the agency arrests other illegal immigrants as well.

And she knows all about “un-American”. She sees it every time she looks in a mirror.
I would love to see how many voted for her in 2018 and how many actual citizens there are in her District.
So what do they do with them in buttf&$*%istan? Strike that, there are no immigrants there.
Yeah, that’ll be the day, when I let some Somali moslem POS define what is and isn’t “American” in MY OWN COUNTRY.
A correction is coming. And it ain’t going to be pretty.
un-American ,is that like double dog dare you crap
AGAIN, even though I just posted it on another thread.

Felix: “I don’t have time to unravel your logic Murray”
I think I will post it on every thread it applies to and see what the number is after a week.
Funny episode by the way :)
=======================================
BACKSTORY---Democrat Cong Clyburn said Omar "told him" she was born in Somalia, and had to flee the country to escape Somali violence,
and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the US.....this according to Clyburn.
===========================================
Then why, as a frightened Somali given refuge in America, did she hurry back to Somalia to get her BIL a job?
================================
This creepy Somali Muslim woman in our Congress has a hidden agenda no one could ever imagine.Omar has world-wide terrorist connections.
BACKSTORY-- Just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature,
Ilhan left her American refuge to travel to her homeland she says she "fled in fear".
She was with then-Pres Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a Somali favorite for re-election.
He reportedly invited her to appear beside him prior to the Somali election taking place.
That's the "frightened lady" pictured chit-chatting, setting up her foreign policy $$$$ Somali agenda.
No Longer "Fearful," elected US state rep Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later,
Omar's Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Administration. The US foreign aid is about to pour in.
What was the deal she made with the corrupt-ridden Somali govt? Are the violent Somalians she once fled,
privy to US security reports from Omar's current position on the Congressional Foreign Affair Committee?
You better believe it, guys.
==================================
A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance. ///Ever notice it's always "us" against "them."
They worm their way in saying they " want a better life:"
.....translation: gimme the the free money and all the tax-paid stuff available.
Assimilation is never on the agenda.
They get top jobs in govt, even cop jobs, get elected, but the agenda is strictly "Us-First"
......suing, screaming discrimination, throwing down America, and demeaning Americans.
The organized Somali Bund should be registered as foreign agents.
Amen, well said!
Breaking the law...

Back to Somalia with you, dumbass.
WIKI——Immigration to Minnesota was fueled by the efforts of railroad companies and civic boosters who published books explaining Minnesota’s virtues. New Minnesotans also sent letters back to the “old country” explaining the new hope and prosperity they had found in Minnesota.
The first major wave of immigration, in the 1860s and 1870s, was primarily from Germany[13] and Ireland, and most settlers moved to farming areas in the central and southern regions of the state. Germans composed the largest immigrant group to Minnesota. When World War I started, 70% of the population was either foreign-born or had at least one parent born outside the United States. Of that number, more than one fourth were Germans. New Ulm, Saint Cloud, and Shakopee were particular centers of German immigration. Scandinavians from Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, as well as immigrants from the Nordic country of Finland soon followed, but they tended to settle in distinctive communities of Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Finnish groups instead of common Scandinavian or Nordic communities.
Irish immigrants were the fourth largest group after the Germans, Swedes, and Norwegians, many of whom came as a result of the potato famine. Others were encouraged to immigrate by Archbishop John Ireland. The Irish concentrated in Saint Paul. Later, southern and eastern Europeans from Italy, Slovenia, Poland, and Czecho-Slovakia became the dominant group immigrating to the United States, and they tended to settle in the Twin Cities, Duluth, and the Iron Range. The Mesabi Range was especially popular among southeastern Europeans, particularly Slovenians and other Slavic immigrants living under the Austrian Empire, who found employment in the iron mines.
With extraordinary encouragement from Walter Mondale, Hmong and Vietnamese immigrants started to come to Minnesota around the mid-1970s as the pro-American governments in their home countries collapsed.[14][15] Many came through VOLAGS contracted with the State Department, who helped them settle in.[16] As of the 2015 American Community Survey, there are a number residents from Laos and Thailand in the state, which include individuals of Hmong ancestry.[17]
In the mid-1990s, Somali immigrants began to settle in the United States as political turmoil occurred in Somalia; Minnesota became one of the prime destinations. In 2002, official estimates put the population at around 15,000 residents.[18] Many came through VOLAGS, who helped them settle in.[16] As of the 2015 American Community Survey, there are 57,000 residents in the state who are of Somali ancestry.[17]
One of the fastest growing immigrant groups in Minnesota is the Karen people, an ethnic minority in conflict with the government in Myanmar. Most of the estimated 5,000 Karen in Minnesota came from refugee camps in Thailand.[19] Many arrived through VOLAGS, who helped them settle in.[16]
As of the 2015 American Community Survey, the largest foreign-born groups in Minnesota are from Mexico (67,300), Somalia (31,400), India (30,500), Laos including Hmong (23,300), Vietnam (20,200), China excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan (19,900), Ethiopia (19,300), and Thailand including Hmong (16,800).[17]
Jihad continues apace.
Bump!
Thanks, BTLD!
That’s good, I’m thinking that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
And who cares what this “UN-American” thinks!
Finally ... I agree with her! We should not be detaining them at all. They should not be allowed across the border and if they do cross they should be summarily thrown back across the border.
She may not sit there much longer
