A political firestorm has erupted in Minnesota after House Majority Whip Tom Emmer said Somalis who "don't assimilate should go the hell back to where they came from," triggering fierce backlash across the political spectrum. Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Somali-born refugee who represents neighboring Minneapolis, responded by saying she had "assimilated all the way to Congress" before calling Emmer an "idiot" and urging supporters to back his Democratic challenger. The clash has reignited the national debate over immigration, assimilation, race and identity as America heads toward the 2026 midterm elections. Watch the full breakdown, reactions and what this controversy could mean politically. #IlhanOmar #TomEmmer #Minnesota #Immigration #Republicans #Democrats #Congress #Politics #BreakingNews #Somalia #Midterms2026 #USPolitics #Election2026 Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
