Somaliland Tells U.S. It’s Ready to Take Ilhan Omar After JD Vance’s Immigration Fraud Claim: ‘Extradition? Say the Word’
The Republic of Somaliland has offered to extradite Rep. Ilhan Omar to face potential justice, saying the U.S. just needs to “say the word” following Vice President JD Vance’s public assertion that the congresswoman committed immigration fraud.
In a post on X, the official account of Somaliland, a self-declared independent republic in the Horn of Africa that broke away from Somalia in 1991, responded directly to discussions of Omar’s possible deportation or extradition.
“Deportation? Please you’re just sending the princess back to her kingdom. Extradition? Say the word,” the post read.
The statement came hours after Vance confirmed that the White House’s new federal fraud task force is actively investigating Rep. Omar for immigration fraud during an interview with Benny Johnson.
Vance said he had spoken with White House immigration advisor Stephen Miller about potential legal action.
