@realafricastories: From a refugee camp in Kenya to the United States Congress, Ilhan Omar’s story is one of resilience, courage and making history. Born in Somalia, she became the first Somali American elected to Congress and one of the first two Muslim women to serve there. She has spoken out for Palestinian human rights, challenged powerful politicians and repeatedly defended her right to belong in the country she calls home. Now, amid reports of a federal investigation and a search of her home, her story raises important questions about citizenship, democracy and equal treatment under the law. Whatever your politics, her place in American history cannot be erased. When does an African immigrant stop being treated as a foreigner? #IlhanOmar #Somalia #AfricanHistory #Palestine #RealAfricaStories

But if she committed immigration fraud she should be brought to book despite her achievements in Congress.

Not only Ilhan, Maga is fighting against the Somali perspective because we are elected in so many positions and motivated immigrants to run for office. Nigeria, Ghana, and Ethiopia lived in the USA for 100 years never running for office while Somalis lived in usa for 35 years and held lots of positions now from the African to the Muslim community, they are saying that if Somalis can do we can do it. We become a path to stop immigrants from running for office.

It takes more than a piece of paper with a White man's signature to be an American. You all do not understand. ✊🏿🌹✊🏿

Wild Conquest :
the problem with Omar is that she is hesitant to integrate into the American Society and values.. she exported her Somali garbage into the US.
How comes, other African immigrants in the US who either choose to integrate or remain neutral while keeping their African values have no issues with the Americans?
