Thin on the left so far

None of the 6 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.

This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.

Congressman Randy Fine has stated that Democrats side with Iran because they hate Donald Trump. In an interview with Fox News Digital, the Florida Republican also warned that the United States is losing the battle against radical Islam. Fine suggested that Representative Ilhan Omar should be deported if she engaged in immigration fraud, citing her claims about her earnings as an example.

Disagreement on Ilhan Omar's potential deportation

The New York Ledger reported that Fine suggested Ilhan Omar should be denaturalized and deported back to Somalia if she engaged in immigration fraud. The Ledger also stated that a request for comment sent to Omar's office was not returned by the time of publication. Next News Network reported that Fine stated if Omar engaged in immigration fraud, she should be deported, and added that the Department of Homeland Security was investigating the congresswoman. Next News Network noted that Omar has not been charged with any crime and the investigation is ongoing, with no certainty of formal charges or deportation proceedings.
