Minnesota Democrat Representative Ilhan Omar, a refugee from Somalia, expresses her belief that the United States, the nation her family escaped to, is deteriorating into one of the worst countries globally, yet she opts to remain here.
In a recent discussion with Democracy Now, Omar highlighted that U.S. military forces were deployed to suppress protests in Los Angeles during the same week the Trump administration organized a grand military parade to commemorate 250 years of the U.S. Army.
“Can you envision the image that will emerge from our nation? I grew up under a dictatorship, and I cannot recall ever witnessing anything of that nature,” the representative remarked, alluding to her experiences in Somalia.
