Unprecedented Escalation: Trump Attacks Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Calls Her "Trash" and Demands She Go Back to Her Country

US President Donald Trump launched a fierce and controversial verbal attack against Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, describing her and her associates as "trash." This attack comes as Trump emphasizes that the United States is at a "dangerous turning point" due to what he perceives as the entry of "undesirable elements."

In a fiery statement, Trump said: "Our country is at a turning point. We could slide... We will go down the wrong path if we continue to bring trash into our country." He then directly attacked the Democratic representative: "Ilhan Omar is trash. She is trash. And her friends are trash. These are not people who work... They do nothing but complain."

Trump continued, using harsh language toward immigrants who criticize the United States: "When they come from hell and complain and do nothing but whine, we don't want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it there."

Escalation Coincides with Tightened Immigration Policies: Trump's tough statements come as his administration moves towards an unprecedented tightening of immigration procedures, following the Washington attack carried out by an Afghan refugee, which resulted in the death of a National Guard member and the injury of another.

The administration has taken a series of emergency steps, including:

• Halting the processing of all immigration, naturalization, and asylum applications for citizens of 19 countries on a "list of countries of concern."

• Complete suspension of visas and transactions for Afghans.

• Re-reviewing thousands of files approved during the Biden administration, particularly for citizens of the newly restricted countries.

These measures, issued in an official memo by US Citizenship and Immigration Services, reflect a radical shift in enforcement, with Trump's administration arguing that "national security requires a fundamental review of admission policies" after using the incident to push for broad restrictions on immigration.
