Ilhan Omar, the U.S. Representative for Minnesota's 5th congressional district, has recently been in the news for her controversial comments regarding Israel and Palestine, which have sparked backlash and calls for censure and deportation. She has faced criticism for referring to some Jewish students as "pro-genocide" and allegedly placing Somali interests above those of the U.S. Omar's involvement in pro-Palestinian protests and visits to protest camps at universities have further fueled the debate surrounding her statements and actions. Born on October 4, 1982, in Somalia, Ilhan Omar immigrated to the United States as a refugee and became a naturalized citizen. She made history as the first Somali-American to serve in Congress and the first naturalized citizen of African birth. Prior to her political career, Omar worked as a community nutrition educator and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. Known for her progressive stance on various issues, Omar is a member of the left-wing "Squad" faction in the House of Representatives, along with other progressive Democrats.
