Trump Demands Omar Jailed or Deported to Somalia After Attack

President Donald Trump attacked Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) in a Saturday morning Truth Social post, demanding she be imprisoned or deported to Somalia days after she was assaulted onstage with a vinegar-filled syringe. Trump falsely claimed Omar orchestrated the attack, stating “She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her,” and accused her and other Somali immigrants of fraud and corruption related to Minnesota finances.

Trump’s post attacked Omar as a “scammer” and suggested she and “her absolutely terrible friends from Somalia should all be in jail right now or, far worse, send them back to Somalia.” He also criticized Governor Tim Walz, characterizing him as either corrupt or incompetent for allegedly failing to prevent unspecified Minnesota fraud. Trump’s demand to deport Omar echoes rhetoric he has repeatedly deployed at rallies attacking Omar’s background and citizenship status.

Omar responded by questioning Trump’s decency and mental fitness, telling CNN that Trump “lacks” the compassion and basic humanity she was raised to possess. She suggested invoking the 25th Amendment, stating Trump exhibits “some sort of dementia” given his contradictory public statements about her and his apparent inability to recall his own rhetoric.

Trump has consistently used deportation rhetoric targeting Omar, repeatedly suggesting she return to Somalia where she was born. This pattern of attacks intensified following the on-stage assault, with Trump immediately weaponizing the incident as a platform for xenophobic accusations rather than expressing concern for her safety.

The attack and Trump’s response align with his broader pattern of dehumanizing Somali immigrants and people, including recent statements characterizing Somalis as “good at” only “pirating ships” during a White House briefing marking his return to office.

Judge Condemns DOJ Claim Trump Can Erase Slavery

A federal judge in Philadelphia sharply rebuked Justice Department lawyers Friday for asserting that the Trump administration can unilaterally decide what American history to display at National Park Service sites. Senior U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe, a George W. Bush appointee, called the government’s position “dangerous” and “horrifying” during a hearing over the abrupt removal of a slavery exhibit at the former President’s House on Independence Mall.

Trump’s executive order “restoring truth and sanity to American history” prompted workers this month to remove outdoor plaques, panels, and materials documenting the nine people enslaved at George and Martha Washington’s presidential mansion. The city of Philadelphia, which invested $1.5 million in the exhibit developed two decades ago, discovered the materials had been placed in a pickup truck and moved to storage without notice.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory in den Berken argued the Park Service routinely changes exhibits and that “the government gets to choose the message it wants to convey.” Rufe immediately objected, stating the government cannot alter historical facts based on “the whims of someone in charge.” Michael Coard, an attorney for advocacy groups supporting the exhibit, characterized the administration’s legal argument as dictatorial, stating the government was attempting to exercise power that belongs to Congress, the judiciary, and the American people.

The exhibit preserved biographical details about the nine enslaved individuals—Austin, Paris, Hercules, Christopher Sheels, Richmond, Giles, Oney Judge, Moll, and Joe—whose stories had been newly uncovered. Now only their names remain engraved on a cement wall. City officials and legal advocates contended the Park Service does not have unlimited authority to interpret national history, while residents have left flowers and handmade signs at the site affirming “Slavery was real.”

Judge Rufe indicated she would rule quickly, citing expected visitor surges for the nation’s 250th anniversary commemorations. She instructed Justice Department lawyers to ensure no additional materials are disturbed and plans to visit both the storage area and the site before issuing her decision on restoring the exhibit.

Trump Repeats White Genocide Conspiracy at Davos

President Donald Trump reiterated the white genocide conspiracy theory at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Wednesday, claiming that white people in South Africa are "being systematically targeted and killed." When asked by a reporter if white genocide was occurring in South Africa, Trump stated, "What's happening in South Africa is terrible" and asserted, "We have seen the numbers, we have seen the records, and it is taking place," without providing evidence or specifics.

Trump has previously promoted this false narrative, telling South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House that he possessed a video showing "burial sites" of "over 1,000" white farmers—a claim The New York Times reported was fabricated. Multiple media outlets have debunked Trump's claims through fact-checking, contradicting his repeated assertions that white farmers are being "brutally killed" and their land confiscated as part of a systematic genocide.

In 2025, Trump drastically reduced refugee admissions to 7,500 from the previous 125,000, reserving record-low slots predominantly for white Afrikaner South Africans. Trump claimed this action was necessary because white farmers faced persecution, though he later stated race made "no difference" in the decision. The U.S. State Department labeled Afrikaners a "racial minority" facing "government-sponsored race-based discrimination," validating Trump's framing of the issue.

Trump also boycotted the G20 Summit in South Africa, stating the U.S. would not attend because the country "refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Rights Abuses endured by Afrikaners." This selective focus on white South Africans while disregarding documented violence affecting other populations aligns with white nationalist rhetoric that weaponizes real land reform debates to advance supremacist agendas.

The white genocide conspiracy theory is a political myth rooted in ethnic hatred and pseudoscience, designed to justify white nationalist commitments and calls to violence. Trump's amplification of this baseless theory at an international forum legitimizes extremist propaganda and contradicts factual reality: white people are not facing extermination or systematic elimination in South Africa or elsewhere.

Trump Attacks Somalis as Only ‘Good at Pirating Ships’

President Donald Trump made dehumanizing remarks about Somalia and Somali people during a White House press briefing on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, declaring that Somalis are “good at” only “pirating ships.” Trump appeared in the briefing room to mark his first year back in office and highlighted ICE arrests of undocumented immigrants before pivoting to attacks on the East African nation and its diaspora in the United States.

Trump described Somalia as “a terrible, terrible place” and “probably the worst country” in the world, using explicit language to disparage its governance and institutions. He stated: “They don’t have government, they don’t have anything…They don’t have police, they don’t have military, they don’t have anything. They just have people running around killing each other and trying to pirate ships.” Trump also announced his administration had “halted” all refugee applications from Somalia, framing the policy as a victory.

The president directly attacked Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a Somali American who immigrated to the United States in the 1990s, calling her country “backward” and describing her as an anti-Semite who “complains” about America. Trump stated he “can’t stand” Omar and has intensified criticism of her, Minnesota, and Somali Americans over recent weeks. His remarks follow similar inflammatory language at a Pennsylvania rally targeting Omar and her Somali heritage.

Trump’s January rhetoric mirrors December 2025 statements in which he declared he did not want Somali immigrants in the United States, claiming they are “ripping off” the country and “contribute nothing.” These comments were amplified following media reports of a fraud scheme in Minnesota allegedly involving members of the Somali community, which Trump has used to justify broad xenophobic generalizations about an entire ethnic group.

Trump’s characterizations contradict the documented reality that Somalia faces severe state fragility and corruption, issues documented by international watchdog organizations like Transparency International, but do not reflect the agency, contributions, or diversity of millions of Somali citizens and diaspora members. His rhetoric functions to dehumanize an ethnic and religious minority, building political support through racial stereotyping while implementing restrictive immigration policies.

Trump Admin Posts Echo White Supremacist Rhetoric

The Trump administration is deploying recruitment campaigns and official posts across federal departments that incorporate imagery, slogans, and rhetoric linked to white supremacist and extremist movements, according to PBS reporting and analysis by Cynthia Miller-Idriss of American University’s Polarization and Extremism Research Innovation Lab. An ICE recruitment advertisement features the phrase “We will have our home again,” a direct reference to a white supremacist anthem favored by the Proud Boys, while the Department of Labor distributed messaging stating “One homeland, one people, one heritage” alongside heroic depictions of white men. Administration posts also invoke “Trust the plan,” the QAnon conspiracy theory slogan tied to the January 6 Capitol attack, which posits a global cabal of pedophiles and deep state actors that Trump is fighting.

Extremist symbols have surfaced across multiple federal agencies, including the “An Appeal to Heaven” flag, which was carried by January 6 rioters and adopted by evangelical Christian nationalist groups and neo-Nazi organizations. Miller-Idriss identified this pattern as part of a propaganda campaign to reposition ICE operations as serving the public interest while employing dog whistles and explicit racist and conspiratorial messaging. The administration is simultaneously rewriting January 6 history on a newly published website, blaming Democrats for security failures and justifying pardons for over 1,500 defendants involved in the insurrection.

President Trump stated in a New York Times interview that the civil rights movement “hurt a lot of people” and constituted “reverse discrimination” against whites denied college admission or jobs. Billionaire Elon Musk endorsed this framing by endorsing a post claiming “If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. White solidarity is the only way to survive”—the Great Replacement Theory, a white nationalist conspiracy falsely asserting intentional replacement of the white population. Miller-Idriss connected this conspiracy theory to terrorist attacks in Pittsburgh, El Paso, Buffalo, Christchurch, and Oslo, resulting in hundreds of deaths.

Miller-Idriss characterized the shift as a “turning point in the propaganda campaign,” driven by ICE’s 57 percent disapproval rating and public awareness of agency abuses circulated through cell phone video. She identified Trump’s statements as an “unedited version” of a longstanding belief system that white men are losing ground, now openly expressed without prior hedging. The administration simultaneously withdrew U.S. support from extremism prevention organizations, cementing its alignment with extremist ideological frameworks.

Miller-Idriss noted that undemocratic leaders employ confusion and propaganda simultaneously to undermine journalism, expertise, and shared truth, citing Hannah Arendt’s analysis of Nazi propaganda: once people stop knowing what is true and false, “it’s very easy for them to stop knowing what’s right and wrong.” The administration’s strategy combines coordinated messaging across departments with high-profile policy actions including ICE deployments, foreign intervention, and territorial threats, designed to normalize extremist rhetoric while obscuring its authoritarian implications through saturation messaging.

DHS deploys 2K federal agents to Minneapolis area to carry out ‘largest immigration operation ever’

The Trump administration has deployed approximately 2,000 federal agents to the Minneapolis area in what officials characterize as the largest immigration enforcement operation ever conducted, according to ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons. The operation, which began over the weekend, represents one of the largest single-city mobilizations of Department of Homeland Security personnel in years and has dramatically expanded the federal law enforcement footprint in Minnesota amid heightened political and community tensions.

Roughly three-quarters of the personnel come from ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, which executes immigration arrests and deportations, while agents from Homeland Security Investigations conduct door-to-door investigations into allegations of fraud, human smuggling, and unlawful employment practices. Specialized tactical units are also involved, with HSI agents focusing on identifying suspected fraud while deportation officers arrest immigrants accused of violating immigration law. The operation includes personnel from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, including Commander Gregory Bovino, whose involvement in previous federal operations has drawn scrutiny from local officials and civil rights advocates.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accompanied ICE officers during arrests in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, appearing in tactical gear in a video where she told a handcuffed arrestee from Ecuador, “You will be held accountable for your crimes.” The Department of Homeland Security reported the arrested man faced charges in Ecuador and Connecticut including murder and sexual assault. When asked for deployment figures, DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin declined to specify numbers, citing officer safety, but stated the operation has already resulted in more than 1,000 arrests of individuals described as killers, rapists, child sexual offenders, and gang members.

Federal authorities have been increasing immigration arrests in the Minneapolis area since late last year, with Noem and FBI Director Kash Patel announcing last week that federal agencies would intensify operations in Minnesota with emphasis on fraud investigations. President Donald Trump has repeatedly connected the administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota to fraud cases involving federal nutrition and pandemic aid programs, many linked to defendants with Somali backgrounds. A source familiar with the operation cautioned that its scope and duration could shift as it develops.

‘They Stole $18 BILLION Dollars!’ Trump Fetes NYE Bash With Rant About Fraud

During a New Year’s Eve gathering at Mar-a-Lago on December 31, 2025, President Donald Trump delivered an unsubstantiated rant alleging $18 billion in fraud across Democratic-led states, claiming the funds were “stolen” and vowing his administration would “get that money back.” Trump made sweeping accusations against Minnesota, California, Illinois, and New York without presenting evidence, describing the alleged misconduct as “a giant scam” and framing recovery of purported stolen funds as grounds for optimism entering the new year.

Trump’s remarks followed the Department of Health and Human Services’ announcement that it would freeze federal child care funding nationwide pending state verification of legitimate spending, with Minnesota facing a complete halt to child care payments. The administration’s scrutiny of Minnesota was directly prompted by influencer Nick Shirley, whose viral video accused the state of operating empty day-care centers funded by taxpayer dollars, with claims of $110 million in fraudulent expenditures under Governor Tim Walz’s administration.

Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O’Neill explicitly cited Shirley’s video investigation in announcing the funding freeze, stating he had “identified the individuals” referenced in the material and demanding a comprehensive audit from Governor Walz. Shirley’s video, which documented visits to child-care facilities on weekdays where he alleged they were nonoperational, received endorsements from Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk, amplifying its influence on the administration’s policy response.

Governor Walz responded by accusing Trump of weaponizing the fraud investigation for political purposes, characterizing the freeze as part of a deliberate strategy to defund programs benefiting Minnesota residents. Walz stated his administration had already spent years investigating fraudsters and that Trump was “politicizing the issue” to advance an agenda against Democratic-led states, despite acknowledging that fraud in child-care systems is a legitimate concern.

Trump’s unsubstantiated $18 billion fraud claim and the resulting federal funding freeze demonstrate the administration’s pattern of using executive power to target Democratic states based on viral social media content rather than verified evidence, while simultaneously Trump himself has pardoned individuals convicted of fraud when they maintained access to his circle.

Trump administration urges White men to file discrimination claims

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, chaired by Andrea Lucas, publicly solicited discrimination claims from White men this week, stating the agency is “committed to identifying, attacking, and eliminating ALL race and sex discrimination – including against white male employees.” This call aligns with the Trump administration’s characterization of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs as “unlawful” and “woke” discrimination against White workers.

Vice President JD Vance described DEI as a “deliberate program of discrimination primarily against White men” and promoted an essay claiming DEI policies harmed White male millennials’ careers. Lucas responded by tweeting the essay contained “unlawful discrimination,” framing the EEOC’s new direction as enforcement against bias rather than investigation of structural inequities. The agency now operates under Lucas’s pledge to enforce civil rights laws without regard to what she termed the notion that only certain “charging parties” merit access.

White workers comprise approximately two-thirds of the U.S. workforce but file only about 10% of race-based discrimination claims with the EEOC, according to 2023 data. However, “reverse discrimination” lawsuits have increased, including a recent case by a money manager at Carl Icahn’s firm alleging denial of a board seat because of his race. Conservative commentators, including Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute, framed the EEOC’s explicit recruitment of White claimants as federal recognition of “anti-White racism.”

DEI advocates, including David Glasgow of NYU’s Meltzer Center, stated that diversity programs aim to remove bias and create equal opportunity, not to disadvantage any group. Glasgow noted that White households possess 9-10 times the wealth of Black households, White men comprise 74% of Fortune 50 CEOs, and Black Americans remain outnumbered 12 to 1 by White people in executive roles. Corporate rollbacks of DEI initiatives following Trump’s campaign promises already impacted Black Americans’ career advancement across major companies.

Trump campaigned against DEI for fostering “anti-White feeling” and on his first day in office moved to eliminate such programs from the federal government and military while threatening to strip billions in federal funding and grants from universities and contractors. Companies across corporate America accelerated efforts to dismantle or scale back DEI initiatives to avoid losing federal contracts, directly eroding representation gains achieved by women and people of color in executive positions.

Laughing Trump Drops Stunning Admission to Screaming Fans — ‘Sh*thole Countries’ Rant He Denied Was Real

During a recent rally at the Mount Airy Casino Resort, President Donald Trump openly acknowledged his infamous “sh*thole countries” comment, revealing that he still holds disdain for predominantly Black nations while favoring those like Norway and Denmark. Laughter erupted among his supporters as Trump recounted how he questioned the rationale behind accepting immigrants from troubled nations like Somalia and Haiti.

In his speech, Trump faced mounting economic criticism, calling concerns over rising prices a “con job,” and asserted that he had already resolved these issues. The rally was a response to unfavorable polling data that highlighted his declining popularity concerning economic management.

Trump’s emphasis on a permanent pause on immigration from what he termed “hell holes” illustrates his continued focus on anti-immigration rhetoric. This tone has become a hallmark of his public speaking, which resonates with his base but raises alarms regarding his attitudes toward race and immigration.

The event showcased the former president refining his controversial views in front of a supportive crowd, reaffirming his commitment to restricting immigration from certain countries while promoting his narrative of economic recovery. Such language and themes are indicative of his broader attempts to solidify his political base amid ongoing scrutiny.

Trump’s remarks not only reignite the debate over his immigration policies but also reflect his enduring brand of divisive politics, as he leverages humor and inflammatory statements to maintain his support during tumultuous times.

National Park Service Adds Trump’s Birthday as Fee-Free Day

The National Park Service (NPS) has eliminated Juneteenth and Martin Luther King Jr. Day as fee-free admission days, instead designating President Donald Trump’s birthday as a new fee-free day. This change affects over 11 sites managed by the NPS in Georgia, such as the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area and Kennesaw Mountain.

In addition to Trump’s birthday, other new dates for free admission in 2026 include Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day weekend, and special birthdays for the NPS and Theodore Roosevelt. Significant previously designated fee-free days like National Public Lands Day and anniversaries related to the Great American Outdoors Act have also been removed from the list.

Alongside these changes, nonresidents will face a new fee structure, including a $100 charge for each individual aged 16 and older, alongside standard entrance fees at several parks, though this does not apply to locations in Georgia. The directive has garnered criticism, emphasizing a shift in the NPS’s approach to commemorating important historical milestones and promoting inclusivity.

This decision, particularly the elevation of a controversial figure’s birthday while sidelining civil rights milestones, has sparked backlash from various communities advocating for the equitable representation of all Americans in national spaces.
