Following protests during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, former US President Donald Trump stated that Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib should be removed from the United States. The two Democratic lawmakers, Omar, a Somali American, and Tlaib, a Palestinian American, criticized Trump's immigration policies during his speech. Trump responded on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, calling their behavior "crooked" and suggesting they should be sent "back from where they came." He described their actions during the address as damaging to the country. Omar and Tlaib were among a group of Democrats who protested Trump's remarks on sanctuary cities, shouting "You have killed Americans!"
