Ilhan Omar sat in Congress for years calling America racist while DHS quietly opened a criminal investigation into how she got here in the first place.
Now a former NBA star just turned that investigation into a presidential campaign slogan.
And Royce White said four words about Ilhan Omar that has DHS moving.
The Minnesota Outsider Who Said What DHS Was Already Thinking
Royce White is not your typical political candidate.
The former NBA first-round pick lost the Minnesota Republican Senate primary this summer.
Then he declared himself a transgender woman and entered the WNBA draft to expose the league's ridiculous gender policies.
Now he's running for president.
In a VladTV interview posted this week, White was asked what he thought about Rep. Ilhan Omar.
His answer was four words: "I think she should be deported."
He then turned it into a campaign slogan.
"This is not Mogadishu," White said. "Don't Mogadishu my America."
White didn't stop there.
He said America has become an "epicenter for Somalis" and pointed directly at Omar, Zack Mamdani, Sayed, and other refugee-community politicians who, in White's words, "talk down on this country as though it's the worst place possible to live."
"Go back to Somalia, go live in Somalia then, if America is so bad," White said.
What DHS Already Knows
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went on the record last month saying the federal government believes Omar married her brother – British citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi – to bring him into the United States.
"We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States," Mullin said. "There may be more to this, the whole family migration and possibly some illegal activity for them to come to the United States to begin with."
That is a sitting Cabinet Secretary calling a sitting Congresswoman a fraud suspect on the record.

White House Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed separately that Homeland Security Investigations – the criminal enforcement arm of ICE – has an active case open.
"I'm not going to comment on an ongoing criminal investigation," Homan told Fox News. "I know things are going on."
There's also a second layer to this that most people haven't heard.
In response to a FOIA request, the National Records Center could not locate any naturalization filings for Omar's father under his name.
Omar claims she obtained citizenship when her father was naturalized in 2000.
If that naturalization never happened, her citizenship itself is built on a lie.
Why Deportation Is Actually on the Table
Omar's defenders immediately point out she's a naturalized U.S. citizen and can't simply be deported.
That's technically correct and completely misleading at the same time.
Citizenship obtained through fraud can be stripped through a legal process called denaturalization.
The DOJ has a 95% success rate on denaturalization prosecutions and has deployed the tool since 1906.
In January 2026, Senator Marsha Blackburn introduced the Fraud Accountability Act – legislation that would make fraud an explicit deportable offense under the Immigration and Nationality Act and subject anyone who commits it to denaturalization.
Trump's DOJ already issued a memo directing attorneys to "prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence."
Omar didn't slip through a loophole.

She walked through a door that is now closing.
What Royce White Understands That Most Politicians Don't
Washington politicians speak carefully about Omar because they're afraid of being called racist.
Royce White – a black man who grew up in Minnesota – is not afraid of that label and doesn't care about that game.
When you come to this country as a refugee, take everything America offers, get elected to Congress, and then spend your career calling America a fundamentally racist and oppressive nation – you've forfeited the right to anyone's patience.
The DHS investigation is the natural result of years of unanswered questions that Omar's allies in the media refused to ask.
Royce White just made sure America is watching when the answers arrive.
