GOP lawmaker says he will move to expel Omar

Fine says he will seek Omar’s expulsion if investigators confirm immigration fraud, as the House would need a two-thirds vote to remove her.

  • On Friday, Representative Randy Fine, R-Fla, told Fox News Digital he plans to seek Representative Ilhan Omar's expulsion if the Justice Department finds her guilty of immigration fraud.
  • Homeland Security Investigations agents searched Omar's Washington residence on Oct. 12, seizing her cellphone and issuing grand jury subpoenas to family members as part of the federal immigration probe.
  • A federal court filing identified Omar under the name "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi," listing "Ilhan Abdullahi Omar" as an alias, though the filing does not establish fraud. Omar denied wrongdoing, calling the investigation politically motivated.
  • Fine also questioned Democrats' criticism of the Justice Department, citing a separate financial disclosure inquiry that began in 2024 under President Joe Biden. He accused Democrats of likely opposing any Republican expulsion effort.
  • While the House has constitutional power to expel one member, such action requires a two-thirds majority vote. Democrats would likely block any Republican effort, and investigation alone does not automatically remove a lawmaker from office.
