Omar confronted on camera over GOP proposal targeting foreign-born lawmakers: ‘Good luck to her’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., appeared unbothered when asked about the newly proposed GOP resolution barring anyone foreign-born from serving in Congress.
«Good luck to her,» Omar told Fox News Digital when asked her opinion on the potential legislation.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., announced Wednesday that she is proposing a constitutional amendment that would require any member of Congress, federal judges, or Senate-confirmed officers to be a natural-born citizen. This amendment would impose the same natural-born citizen standard required for presidents and vice presidents in the U.S.

Omar was one of three targets that Mace specifically pointed out when she posted to X on Wednesday to announce her new «long overdue» joint resolution. Omar was born in Somalia and became a naturalized citizen in 2000.
«Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal,» Mace posted to X «All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America.»
There are currently 26 individuals serving as members of Congress that are not natural-born citizens — 19 Democrats and seven Republicans.
Omar told Fox News Digital that she is not concerned about this legislation having the legs to pass.
«If you hold power in the American government, you should be a natural-born American citizen,» Mace told Fox News Digital in a statement. «For too long we have allowed foreign-born members to hold seats in this government, while making clear their loyalty is not here. We see it every day.»

Changing the Constitution is not an easy feat, requiring approval from two-thirds of both the House and Senate before an additional ratification of three-fourths of U.S. states.
The proposal has not yet drawn widespread public backing from House GOP leadership or any large group of Republican co-sponsors.
Omar was also asked about Rep. Randy Fine’s, R-Fla., «Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act,» which he introduced in October. This legislation would ban anyone from serving in Congress who has dual citizenship in another country. It would force individuals to renounce their foreign citizenship in order to serve or be considered for Congress.

«I think it’s a fair argument to say you can only swear allegiance to one country, and if you’re in Congress, that allegiance should be to America,» Fine said in a statement. «This bill ensures that the people making laws for our citizens are themselves fully committed to our country, not divided between two.»
Fine’s legislation has not shown significant movement in Congress since being referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary last year.

Santiago, República Dominicana: se duplica la demanda de atención por trastornos del neurodesarrollo en los últimos años
El aumento de la demanda de atención por trastornos del neurodesarrollo en Santiago ha llevado a una transformación en la dinámica de los servicios de salud mental infantil y adolescente.
En los últimos cinco años, la Unidad de Psicología Especializada (UPSE) de la Clínica Corominas ha duplicado el número de pacientes, lo que refleja una mayor conciencia social y una búsqueda activa de ayuda profesional por parte de las familias.
Actualmente, la UPSE programa cerca de 132 citas diarias, con un 70 % destinadas a niños y adolescentes. La agenda de los sábados permanece llena desde las 8:00 hasta las 15:00. Según la neuropsicóloga clínica Saray Espinal Gómez, fundadora de la unidad, predominan los casos de trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH), trastornos del espectro autista (TEA), dificultades de aprendizaje y alteraciones conductuales. Este panorama ha sido detallado recientemente por Listín Diario al analizar la situación en la provincia.
El entorno escolar es el principal punto de detección, ya que los docentes suelen ser quienes observan las primeras señales de dificultades en el aprendizaje, la atención o la socialización. Espinal Gómez señala que “la mayoría de los niños vienen referidos por las escuelas”, aunque cada vez más padres, al comparar el desarrollo de sus hijos, deciden buscar ayuda de manera preventiva.
Los menores que llegan a consulta normalmente tienen entre 3 y 12 años. Todavía se reciben adolescentes de hasta 14 años que no fueron diagnosticados a tiempo y presentan problemas de habla, aprendizaje o síntomas de autismo no identificados previamente.
En cada caso, la UPSE realiza una evaluación científica antes de iniciar cualquier tratamiento. El diagnóstico permite diseñar un plan integral que puede incluir terapias conductuales, del habla, ocupacionales, estimulación temprana, terapia familiar o rehabilitación cognitiva.
El acompañamiento emocional a los padres es el primer paso tras el diagnóstico. Espinal Gómez enfatiza que “un diagnóstico no limita el futuro de un niño, sino que nos da las herramientas para potenciar sus capacidades”. La colaboración entre el consultorio, la familia y el colegio, junto a rutinas claras en el hogar, es fundamental para el éxito terapéutico.
La especialista destaca la urgencia de fortalecer la detección temprana desde el sector médico, en especial entre pediatras: “Debemos seguir trabajando con los pediatras para que hagan más referencias tempranas; mientras más rápido evaluemos a un niño, mayores serán sus oportunidades”, precisó a Listín Diario.
Al llegar a la adolescencia, las consultas cambian de foco y se concentran en la salud emocional, con la ansiedad, la depresión y los trastornos de la conducta en primer plano. Muchos de estos casos están relacionados con conflictos familiares, dificultades de adaptación y acoso escolar.
Espinal Gómez advierte que “muchas familias llegan pensando que el adolescente tiene depresión, pero al profundizar descubrimos que ha sido víctima de bullying durante mucho tiempo”.
La aparición temprana del consumo de sustancias como marihuana, vapeadores y alcohol agrava los cuadros de ansiedad y afecta el desarrollo cerebral en esta etapa.
En la clínica, es frecuente ver a madres solteras y abuelas tomando la responsabilidad principal en el proceso terapéutico y logístico de los menores. Espinal Gómez reconoce que “vemos a muchas mujeres haciendo el rol de madre y padre al mismo tiempo, realizando un trabajo extraordinario para sostener las terapias y la crianza”. Además, observa una tendencia positiva con más padres participando activamente en consultas y reuniones escolares.
Los signos de alerta más frecuentes incluyen retrasos en el habla, cambios abruptos de conducta y dificultades para socializar. Una intervención oportuna y la detección precoz son claves para transformar las perspectivas de desarrollo de los niños con trastornos del neurodesarrollo.
Un diagnóstico temprano permite acceder a recursos y estrategias que favorecen el crecimiento y la integración plena.

9/11 families push to ban Mamdani from 25th anniversary remembrance over ‘hostile’ record
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Families of 9/11 victims are urging organizers to bar New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from attending this year’s 25th anniversary remembrance ceremony in Lower Manhattan.
Several families of 9/11 victims published a petition urging the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, which organizes the annual remembrance, to reconsider inviting Mayor Zohran Mamdani, citing a laundry list of criticisms of the Uganda-born socialist Democrat.
«Concerns have been raised about Mr. Mamdani’s public positions, associations, and responses to rhetoric that many perceive as hostile to these shared values,» a Change.org petition organized by several victims’ families states.
«Given these concerns, we respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani’s participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy.»
FIREFIGHTER BROTHER OF 9/11 VICTIM INCENSED BY ‘RADICAL’ MUSLIMS WINNING KEY DEM PRIMARIES
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces that five upcoming city-owned grocery stores will offer a 30 percent discount on produce, meat, bread, and milk when they open next year. The discount on essential items will potentially save shoppers an estimated $90 a month, or roughly $1,000 a year. Mamdani has pledged one community grocery store for each borough.

Concerns listed include a «perceived reluctance» by Mamdani to unequivocally condemn phrases like «globalize the intifada» — a slogan associated with calls for the eradication of Jews.
They also expressed concern over Mamdani’s alleged support for or association with individuals either dismissive of American institutions or insufficiently critical of extremist ideologies.
A 2025 release by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, outlined one such association with a radical Bed-Stuy imam who hosted the Blind Sheikh, mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and has made controversial statements about jihad.

Siraj Wahhaj, born Jeffrey Kearse, hosted Mamdani at his At-Taqwa mosque during the campaign and received criticism at the time from former FBI agents for failing to condemn the cleric.
The victims’ families also called out Mamdani’s father, Columbia government professor Mahmood Mamdani, whom they cite as authoring a book shortly after the attacks in which he argued suicide bombers should be «understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.»
They wrote that Professor Mamdani’s book – «Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror» – also included a passage arguing a moral equivalency between the United States and Al Qaeda.

When the passage was resurfaced in 2025, prominent New York billionaire Bill Ackman quipped on X that the «apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.»
Fox News Digital reached out to both Mamdanis for comment.
While the mayor did not immediately return a request for comment, he told a reporter at an unrelated press conference Monday that he still plans to attend.
«I will proudly honor families the survivors the first resp forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year’s 9/11 commemoration — reaffirming that we will never forget the solemn day…,» he said.
Victims’ families also excoriated the mayor for supporting and standing with socialist candidates they said hold radically anti-American views, including the DSA-endorsed woman who defeated left-wing Rep. Adriano Espaillat in Washington Heights.
The petition noted Darializa Chevalier once tweeted that she nonchalantly wiped soiled hands on an American flag after running out of napkins.
«For 9/11 families, this is not simply a public ceremony—it is a deeply personal day of mourning. The presence of individuals whose words or associations are perceived as conflicting with the solemn purpose of the event risks detracting from that focus and causing additional pain,» the consortium wrote.

One organizer told the New York Post that mourning dignitaries from both parties will be welcomed, but emphasized they have all been involved in the healing process for years, citing former mayors Rudolph Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg, former Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and City Council Speaker Julie Menin, D-Upper East Side.

The memorial museum said it has «intentionally worked to keep the commemoration free of politics because remembering those we lost on 9/11 should never be a partisan issue,» according to a statement to the Post from staffer Julie Wood.
The petition comes amid elevated rhetoric directed at Mamdani as he prepares to take office before his first September 11 commemoration as mayor, as Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., and radio host Sidney Rosenberg both recently declared the mayor a «terrorist.»
