Omar ‘Should be embarrassed’ She Wants To Defund Police, GOP Opponent Says

Lacy Johnson, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Republican opponent vying for Minnesota’s fifth district’s congressional seat, posted a thread on Twitter Sunday night in response to the Minneapolis City Council’s move to proceed with voting to disband the police in response to the death of George Floyd. Omar, who is backing the move, is an ’embarrassment,’ Johnson said.
The City Council has garnered a veto-proof majority of members’ support for the action.
The following is Johnson’s Twitter thread:
By simply throwing out our current policing system, that tells me they lack care and concern for our public safety system.
We are a nation of laws and the laws must be equally enforced.
There are common sense measures and steps that can be taken to address concerns.

Companies and tourist alike will not want to invest in or visit our community.
Criminals will take advantage of a weak policing infrastructure and will overtake our community.
Big government has rarely proven to be expedient at implementing anything at this scale.

The decision you make today will affect a generation of all citizens to come.

Omar recently told constituents that she’s backing the move, calling the MPD “rotten to the root” and a “cancer” that must be removed. The City’s Mayor Jacob Frey, however, couldn’t commit to such a sweeping overhaul.
When this whole thing fails, take note that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar also supports the dismantling of the Minneapolis Police Department. pic.twitter.com/cW3O745oq5

Johnson has received President Donald Trump’s endorsement for the race. The Minnesota state primary is set for August 11, 2020.

Trump, Rep Biggs: invoking the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation will ‘be necessary’

At a recent rally in Iowa, former President Donald Trump promised that if elected again in 2024, he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation of migrants who have illegally entered the United States. Since President Joe Biden took office in January of 2021, over 6 million people have illegally entered the country.
Republican Representative Andy Biggs from border state Arizona, which is among the states suffering the greatest consequences from the Biden administration policies, lamented that Trump’s suggestion will be “necessary.”
Speaking on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show, Biggs stated “[I]t’s actually gonna have to be necessary.” Biggs then added his thoughts on how many more people will continue to cross the border under Biden: “Because by the time Trump gets back in office, you will have had over 10 million, in my opinion, over 10 million illegal aliens cross our border and come into the country, under the Biden regime.”
“And so when you start deporting people, and removing them from this country, what that does is that disincentivizes the tens of thousands of people who are coming,” Biggs went on. “And by the way, everyday down in Darién Gap, which is in Panama… over 5,000 people a day. [I] talk[ed] to one of my sources from the gap today. And I will just tell you, those people that you’ve seen come come in to Eagle Pass, over 7,000 in a three day period, most of those two weeks ago, were down crossing into the Darién Gap.”
“And those people… make their way up and they end up in the Eagle Pass [Texas], Del Rio area,” he continued. “So if you want to disincentivize them, you remove them from the country, which is why they remain in Mexico policy was so doggone effective at slowing down illegal border crossings.”
