Ilhan Omar’s latest tweet is a masterclass in deflection and disinformation, brazenly claiming that Somalia executes predators while America elects them—a narrative that’s not just unhinged, but demonstrably false when you dig into the receipts from UN reports and human rights watchdogs like Amnesty International. Somalia’s legal system is a patchwork of clan-based Sharia courts and federal fragility, where child marriage runs rampant (UNICEF data shows over 30% of girls married before 18, often to much older men), rape convictions are rarer than hen’s teeth due to evidentiary hurdles like requiring four male witnesses, and predators—be they warlords, traffickers, or jihadists—often evade justice entirely. Omar’s Somalia fantasy ignores this chaos, where al-Shabaab enforces its own brutal executions outside any rule of law, painting a dystopian hellscape that makes America’s flawed but functional justice system look like a beacon by comparison.
The real kicker? This tweet isn’t just historical revisionism; it’s a sly attack on ICE’s border enforcement, implying American agents are the true predators while glossing over the vulnerable migrant children funneled into cartel hands. ICE stats reveal they’re rescuing thousands from trafficking networks annually—think 1,000+ unaccompanied minors protected from exploitation in FY2023 alone—often in the face of open-border policies that Omar champions. Her rhetoric flips the script, demonizing the very guardians keeping predators out.
For the 2A community, this is a stark reminder of why an armed populace is non-negotiable: in Somalia’s lawless void, self-defense isn’t a right, it’s survival, with civilians outgunned by militias wielding AKs unchecked. Omar’s lie underscores the stakes—disarm Americans, and we inherit Somalia’s predator paradise, where the state fails and the vulnerable pay. Arm up, stay vigilant, and demand leaders who face facts, not fabricate them. Subscribe for more unfiltered truth the media buries.
