Supports. ICE's letter to Rep. Omar, quoted by Fox News, says a Somali national with a second-degree murder conviction was among 39 Somali nationals removed on a 2020 flight.[2]
Supports. CIS reports the same ICE letter, stating that 36 of the 39 removed Somali nationals had criminal histories including murder.[3]
