(TNND) — The African Nation, the Republic of Somaliland, is calling for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mn.), to be extradited after Vice President JD Vance made a claim during an interview that the lawmaker committed immigration fraud.
Vance made the comment in a podcast interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson, and the partially recognized African state, reacted to the comment in a social media post.
Deportation? Please you’re just sending the princess back to her kingdom. Extradition? Say the word ” the post said.
In the interview, Vance also said that he has spoken with White House immigration advisor Stephen Miller about potentially taking legal action against Omar, further saying the two “think Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.”

THE ISUZU MOTORS PAYROLL FRAUD (GQEBERHA, SA)
Date: February 16, 2026 Perpetrator: Natasja Slabbert (42)
Case Description: In a case that hit home for the Eastern Cape business community, Natasja Slabbert, a payroll administrator at Isuzu Motors South Africa’s Struandale plant, was arrested for an alleged R10.5 million fraud. The scheme, which began surfacing in late 2024, exploited the very systems designed to manage employee compensation. Slabbert allegedly manipulated payroll records to create false entries that appeared as legitimate deductions and contributions on employee payslips. In reality, these “deductions” were being diverted into her personal bank account.
The fraud was only uncovered after diligent employees noticed that their net “take-home” pay was significantly lower than expected, despite the gross amounts on their payslips remaining high. Following a thorough probe by the Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team and the NPA’s Specialised Commercial Crime Unit, it was discovered that in August 2024 alone, over R626,000 was unlawfully transferred. Slabbert was granted bail of R5,000 on February 17, 2026, and the case has been postponed to later in the month for further legal proceedings. This case highlights the critical need for “segregation of duties” in payroll departments, as a single point of failure allowed for the systematic siphoning of millions over nearly two years.
