Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) has sparked controversy by demanding the deportation of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), despite Omar being a U.S. citizen. In a series of posts on X, Gill stated, “America would be a better place if Ilhan Omar were deported back to Somalia,” in response to a clip of Omar’s recent interview.
Omar, who came to the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia in 1995 and became a naturalized citizen at 17 in 2000, has been critical of America since before she was in Congress. Gill said what many Americans have thought, stating, “we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country.”
The context of Gill’s comments comes from a video where Omar discussed what illegal alien Somalis should do if questioned by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Omar, the first Somali-American in Congress, hoped to protect her people by revealing her true allegiances.

A spokesperson for Gill defended his stance, suggesting that Omar’s actions and statements raise questions about where her true allegiance lies, whether with the American public or with criminal illegal aliens from Somalia.
This call for deportation has infuriated the left, many of whom align with Omar’s perspectives as enemies of the United States. They believe sovereignty is superficial and would like nothing more than for America to be overrun by foreign powers.
Supporters of Gill see his statements as part of a broader critique of Omar’s policies and views, particularly regarding immigration and her perceived allegiances.

The controversy also reflects ongoing tensions within Congress, where the discourse around immigration, national loyalty, and the role of anti-American lawmakers continues to be polarized.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
