Somaliland calls for Rep. Ilhan Omar extradition after Vance alleges immigration fraud (ABC)

Somaliland calls for Rep. Ilhan Omar extradition after Vance alleges immigration fraud (ABC)

(TNND) — The African Nation, the Republic of Somaliland, is calling for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mn.), to be extradited after Vice President JD Vance made a claim during an interview that the lawmaker committed immigration fraud.

Vance made the comment in a podcast interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson, and the partially recognized African state, reacted to the comment in a social media post.

...


Please note: Somaliland is to Somalia (where Rep Omar is from), as the Confederate States were to the United States.

Hint: a nation that should be kicked out of the UN for its genocide of its occupied people and aggression against its neighbours.

Now why would that nation recognize Somaliland just recently and want Rep Ilhan Omar silenced?

The possible ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza needs a "host country" and so far only Somaliland has stepped up to the plate. I wonder how much the quid pro quo bribe was and who will ultimately pay.

... and certainly no extradition treaty.

Yet JD thinks it's a great idea? Or maybe just says it for likes on X?
