Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier called for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) to be deported for criticizing last weekend’s military parade in Washington, D.C. Uthmeier wrote “Denaturalize and Deport” in a repost on social platform X featuring an interview with Omar from the left-leaning outlet Democracy Now!
In the clip, Omar says the U.S. “is turning into one of the worst countries on earth.” “I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don’t even remember witnessing anything like that,” said Omar, who was born in Somalia, referring to the parade. “To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights,” she continued.
“While our president is spending millions of dollars propping himself up like a failed dictator with a military parade. It is really shocking,” she said.

Uthmeier has taken a staunch conservative stance on immigration as state attorney general. On Tuesday, a federal judge found him to be in civil contempt over her ruling that put a hold on a new Florida law that would label it a misdemeanor for those residing in the country illegally to enter the state.
