Homan Confirms Criminal Investigation Involving Rep. Ilhan Omar
DHS says investigators are reviewing whether Omar used a fraudulent marriage to gain immigration benefits, while no charges or public evidence have been released.
- On Thursday in Dallas, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin alleged that Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother to facilitate immigration and could face deportation if investigators establish wrongdoing.
- The Minnesota Democrat has repeatedly denied the allegation, which has circulated for years without being established in court, describing the relationship as brief and noting the legal divorce was finalized in December 2017.
- Mullin suggested investigators are examining wider questions of "illegal activity" regarding family migration, while chief of staff Connor McNutt rejected the claims as a "ridiculous lie" and accused critics of political motivations.
- A DHS spokesperson stated that as a matter of policy, the department does not comment on ongoing investigations, adding, "No one, including members of Congress, are above the law."
- Under federal law, citizenship may be revoked if naturalization was illegally procured, but no charge against Omar has been identified; she became a United States citizen in 2000, nine years before her marriage to Elmi.
