A new video circulating on social media purports to show U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar telling Somali American voters who did not back Minneapolis mayoral challenger Omar Fateh that they should be "expelled"—a claim based on English subtitles to a Somali-language speech that independent newsrooms have not verified. The controversy follows Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s reelection over Fateh and echoes earlier translation disputes involving Omar’s Somali-language remarks.
