'SEND THEM BACK! Let's start with Ilhan Omar,' a member of Congress marked for removal by where she was born.
Through the week, accounts on X told politicians of migrant background to leave: ACTBrigitte wrote on September 9 that Mayor Mamdani "belongs back in Uganda". Ilhan Omar is a Somali-born member of the US Congress. On September 12, LauraLoomer posted on X: "President Trump was right all along when he said SEND THEM BACK! Let's start with Ilhan Omar". Send them back is a demand that people be removed from the country, applied here to a sitting congresswoman by name. Nothing about her votes or conduct in office is offered; the qualification for removal is where she came from. The post drew 57,924 views.
Send them back, aimed at a congresswoman, says that being born abroad cancels citizenship and office together. Them is everyone in her position, and start with says she is first of many. Calling her district an ISIS recruitment location extends the charge to the Somali Americans who live there.
The name settles it. The demand isn't about a policy or a vote; it lands on Omar because of where she was born, and the post says so by choosing her as the place to start. A fair-minded reader should take this as expulsion demanded for a member of Congress on national origin, with her community attached.
