ICE Cites Privacy Laws in Declining FOIA Request for Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Records
ICE said releasing the records could interfere with enforcement proceedings and might expose witnesses or tip off suspects.
- President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday that ICE is withholding records regarding Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar, citing "ongoing enforcement proceedings" as the reason for the disclosure denial.
- Just News submitted a FOIA request in January seeking ICE files on claims that Omar married a relative to help him remain in the United States; ICE responded in May that records were withheld in full under Title 5.
- Critics alleged Omar married Elmi in 2009 while still married to Ahmed Hirsi and that Elmi was a relative. She filed for civil divorce from Elmi in 2017 after winning her state House seat, then married Hirsi in 2018.
- Omar's campaign called both assertions "categorically ridiculous and false," while Trump has repeatedly referenced the marriage claims in public remarks and called for her removal from office.
- Justice Department guidance requires Officials to show a reasonable likelihood that disclosure would disrupt pending proceedings before withholding law-enforcement records, a standard the agency invoked to justify its decision.
