A viral clip of Rep. Ilhan Omar has sparked misinformation claims, with some saying she referred to World War Two as 'World War Eleven.' However, the clip's authenticity has been verified, and it appears Omar was actually discussing the Alien Enemies Act during a January 2025 presser.
The clip shows Omar saying, 'The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked. It was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants during World War 11.'
This incident is not an isolated case of misinformation surrounding Ilhan Omar. Fact-checkers have repeatedly debunked claims about her IQ, arrests, and policy positions.
Recently, Omar blasted the Department of Homeland Security's decision to rename Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to 'National Immigration and Customs Enforcement,' calling it 'whitewashing.'
