Partially recognized Horn of Africa nation Somaliland called for firebrand “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar to be extradited after Vice President JD Vance claimed she committed immigration fraud — promising the White House would “go after” her.
“Deportation? Please you’re just sending the princess back to her kingdom. Extradition? Say the word …” the republic’s official X account wrote in response.
Somaliland has been a self-governing territory since 1991, however, most countries, including the US, don’t formally recognize it as an independent country.
Somali-born Omar has voiced opposition to the republic being recognized.
Vance made the comments in a podcast interview with conservative host Benny Johnson in a wide-ranging conversation, including her possible ties to widespread human services fraud in Minnesota connected to some members of the Somali community.
“Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America,” Vance claimed of the Minnesota congresswoman.
“What are the legal remedies now that we know she’s committed immigration fraud? How do you go after her? How do you investigate her? How do you actually build the case to actually get some justice for the American people?” he said during the discussion.--->READ MORE HERE

"We're trying to look at what the remedies are," Vance said. "That’s the thing that we’re trying to figure out is what are the legal remedies now that we know that she’s committed immigration fraud — how do you go after her, how do you investigate her, how do you actually do the thing, how do you build a case necessary to get some justice for the American people?
"Omar has denied accusations from President Donald Trump and the White House that she married her brother to enter the United States. In December, she called the accusations "bigoted lies," writing on social media that Trump was obsessed with her. --->READ MORE HERE
