A foreign-born politician\u2019s decision to spend Independence Day abroad, where she received presidential red carpet treatment, begged the question, \u201cIf your heart is still in Mogadishu\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) may have partied it up for her home country\u2019s Independence Day ahead of America\u2019s semiquincentennial, but she isn\u2019t alone in emphasizing her ongoing ties to Somalia. Fellow refugee and mayor of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, Nadia Mohamed appeared to one-up the Squad member with a visit to Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud over the holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

Sharing video of Mohamed meeting with Mohamud, the End Wokeness account on X wrote, \u201cOur country gave her free housing and food when she got here in 2006. Zero gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Likewise, Libs of TikTok juxtaposed the mayor parading through Somalia with Mohamed\u2019s own comments, stating, \u201cMost Somalis are afraid, not necessarily for their immediate safety \u2014 yes there\u2019s always fear that they\u2019re going to get hate-crimed and things like that \u2014 but most of us are afraid we\u2019re about to lose our home \u2026 when we look at America, we\u2019re seeing it slowly dismantle into something that is not recognizable; that America is losing its America-ness,\u201d begging the question, \u201cSo why doesn\u2019t she just stay in Somalia??\u201d<\/p>\n

St. Louis Park, Minnesota Mayor Nadia Mohamed, who was born in Somalia, just arrived in Somalia to a massive royal welcome.<\/p>\n

She said \u201cAmerica is losing its Americaness\u201d because Somalis are afraid after fraud and ICE crackdowns<\/p>\n

Amid widespread fraud allegations facing Minnesota to the tune of billions of dollars, the Somali community has been at the forefront as charges have been filed<\/a> against individuals alleged to have been funneling money from federal programs overseas.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Minnesota politicians like Omar and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) have repeatedly embraced a Somalia First attitude, including their recent exploits, waving the Somali flag and dancing<\/a> at a celebration of the African nation\u2019s Independence Day.<\/p>\n

Worth noting, President Donald Trump recounted from the Oval Office in September 2025 the response he\u2019d received from Mohamud \u2014 whose own administration has faced allegations of corruption \u2014 when he made an inquiry regarding Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D). \u201c\u2026I met the head of Somalia. Did you know that? And I suggested that maybe he\u2019d like to take [Omar] back, and he said, \u2018I don\u2019t want her<\/a>.’\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to raising questions about allegiance, a growing concern for voters who\u2019ve seen naturalized citizens elected to public office only to import third-world politics into the U.S. \u2014 like Uganda-born New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) \u2014 many believe that a person claiming to be a refugee should lose such status if they are willing to take what ostensibly looks like a victory lap vacation with a parade and palatial welcome like a conquering hero.<\/p>\n

Stated simply by one account, \u201cShe immigrated here at 10, became mayor thanks to American opportunity, then ditches Independence Day to cozy up with Somalia\u2019s leadership. If your heart is still in Mogadishu, maybe you shouldn\u2019t be running an American city.\u201d<\/p>\n

It must be wonderful to celebrate the expansion of the kingdom of Somalia on the North American continent.<\/p>\n

They have a lot to talk about.<\/p>\n

Which town or city will be next to fall to the \u2018refugees\u2019?<\/p>\n

This is why no immigrant should be allowed to run for public office for at least two generations.<\/p>\n

Cancel her citizenship while she\u2019s there and put her on the no-fly list.<\/p>\n

The real question is, I thought they left Somalia because it\u2019s so bad and terrible that they allow them for TPS. Since it\u2019s safe now clearly we can see she happy. We can start mass deportation of Somalis since it\u2019s safe for them to return.<\/p>\n

She and Omar have clearly broken their oathes and they should be denaturalized and deported.<\/p>\n
