US EditionHouse Republicans launch investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar's finances: report
House Republicans probe a rapid rise in Rep. Ilhan Omar's household assets and possible ethics violations, with subpoenas considered for her husband, according to Oversight Committee officials.
- On January 16, 2026, Rep. Ilhan Omar criticized ICE deportation raids at a Democratic field hearing in St Paul, saying Americans should be ashamed of removals from the `U.S. Goddamn States`.
- Amid two months of attention on Minnesota, President Trump deployed 3,000 ICE agents and more than 90 people have been charged in an industrial-scale fraud scheme.
- On Sunday January 19, 2026, Fox rolled footage of Omar's remarks and Tomi Lahren attacked her on The Big Weekend Show, calling her the `perfect poster child` and saying `Democrats are always on the side of the illegal aliens` while co-host Joey Jones chuckled.
- Far-Right activists and some GOP officials responded after the clip circulated on X, with Laura Loomer demanding `Deport this Muslim`, Utah Sen. Mike Lee outraged, and Elon Musk suggesting treason charges.
- Omar's background helps explain some of the reaction, as she was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, and conservatives highlighted Rep. Eric Swalwell's vow last week to strip driver's licenses for ICE agents.
