DOD Refutes Omar’s Claim on Military Deployment
The Department of Defense (DOD) has countered Representative Ilhan Omar’s assertion that deploying military personnel in U.S. streets turns America into one of the worst countries regarding constitutional rights.
In a recent X post, the DOD stated, “Congressman Omar, America is NOT ‘turning into one of the worst countries on Earth.’ Our service members are making our country SAFER and STRONGER than ever before. We will NOT stop protecting our federal assets from unruly individuals.”
This response comes amidst historical precedents, such as the 1968 Washington, D.C. riots, where over 13,600 soldiers were deployed.
Omar’s background as a Somali refugee may influence her perspective, but the DOD emphasizes the necessity of such measures for national security.
