U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Rep. Ilhan Omar and Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a Youngstown, Ohio rally, sparking “deport” chants.
The remarks were framed as racist and anti-immigrant, raising concerns Trump is targeting minority politicians and eroding democratic norms.
Trump called El-Sayed a “jihadist” and a “jihadist lunatic” and “terrorist sympathizer” on Truth Social.
Homeland Security Investigations agents were positioned at Omar’s Washington, D.C., residence after the rally.

Blindspot

Trump posted on Truth Social praising Republican Mike Rogers and again calling Abdul El-Sayed a “jihadist lunatic” and “terrorist sympathizer.”
