Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) traveled to Africa this week as part of a delegation headed by House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), visiting Ghana.

Omar, who came to the United States as a refugee from Somalia, said on Twitter August 1: “They said ’send her back' but Speaker Pelosi didn’t just make arrangements to send me back, she went back with me.”
