Trump suggests Omar resign ‘immediately’ over ‘fake name’
Trump said Ilhan Omar should resign as federal investigators examine whether she or her family misled immigration officials, a probe that could affect her citizenship.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump called on Rep. Ilhan Omar to "IMMEDIATELY resign" from Congress, accusing her of using a "fake name" when getting elected.
- Last week, Department of Homeland Security agents raided Omar's Washington home, seizing cell phones, laptops, and 17 other items as part of a federal citizenship investigation.
- Trump alleged in a Truth Social Post that Omar, born Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, committed "FRAUD" and cannot legally serve as a Member of Congress, repeating unsubstantiated claims about her marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
- After the raid, Omar accused the administration of trying to "weaponize federal law enforcement," stating "I will not be silenced" following the six a.m. predawn search.
- The Department is examining whether Omar or her father misrepresented her age on citizenship applications, with prosecutors recently referring to her as Ilhan Nur Said Elmi in court filings.
