Mace calls deporting 'Somalia-first' Ilhan Omar the best '250th birthday present to America'
On June 15, 2026, six days after finishing fifth in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary, Nancy Mace posted on X and Facebook that 'there would be no better 250th birthday present to America than seeing Somalia-first Ilhan Omar deported.' Omar, a sitting U.S. representative, has been a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2000, and fact-checkers note U.S. citizens are not subject to deportation. The post is the latest in a running Mace-Omar feud that runs back through her September 2025 censure push and her May 2026 constitutional amendment. This dispatch catalogs the post as a public artifact and takes no position on Mace's medical or psychological state.

Mace's Omar censure resolution built on a quote Omar never said
On September 17, 2025, Mace introduced a House censure resolution against Rep. Ilhan Omar alleging she had 'mocked' Charlie Kirk's killing; journalist Mehdi Hasan stated publicly that Omar had condemned the killing, and Omar noted the resolution contained no direct quote from her. The resolution failed 214-213.

Mace tweets: 'Why did Ilhan Omar marry her brother? Immigration fraud? Brotherly love?'
On September 17, 2025, during her push to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar, Mace posted a tweet invoking the unsupported claim that Omar married her brother to gain U.S. citizenship. The public-record fact check: Omar legally married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009, but Snopes, PolitiFact, Africa Check and Fox have all described the brother-marriage allegation as unsupported, unresolved, or unsubstantiated.

Nancy Mace Has TOTAL BREAKDOWN Over Ilhan Omar
The progressive show The Ring of Fire devotes a four-minute segment to Nancy Mace's June 15, 2026 post calling for the deportation of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized U.S. citizen and sitting member of Congress, tying it to her fifth-place finish in the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary. The Ring of Fire is a commentary program, so its 'total breakdown' headline is the channel's own characterization.
