Trump Calls for Deportation of Muslim Lawmakers Following State of Union Disruption

Trump Calls for Deportation of Muslim Lawmakers Following State of Union Disruption
—————————————-
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday called for the deportation of Democratic Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, telling the two Muslim lawmakers to be sent “back from where they came — as fast as possible,” according to a report by IQNA.

The remarks followed a disruption during Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, when Tlaib and Omar interrupted the speech to protest his immigration policies, shouting, “You have killed Americans!” before leaving the chamber.

In a post on his platform Truth Social, Trump criticized the lawmakers, accusing them of misconduct and questioning their place in the country. Omar, who was born in Somalia, has been a US citizen for nearly three decades, while Tlaib, a Palestinian American born in Detroit, is a US citizen by birth. Under US law, neither can be deported.

The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the White House and progressive members of Congress critical of the administration’s policies.

Separately, a federal judge in Massachusetts, Brian E. Murphy, ruled that the administration’s policy of deporting migrants to third countries where they have no ties is unlawful, stating that affected individuals must be granted due process. The ruling has been paused for 15 days pending appeal.
