Homeland Security officials have confirmed a criminal probe into Rep. Ilhan Omar, following serious allegations of immigration and naturalization violations, as the administration takes steps to enforce the law without favoritism.
White House immigration adviser Tom Homan informed viewers of 'The Sunday Briefing' that the Department of Homeland Security is actively pursuing a criminal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who has long faced questions about her immigration history. Homan declined to reveal specifics, but made clear that Homeland Security Investigations is handling the matter and that the administration is committed to upholding the law, regardless of a person's political status or position.
'I know things are going on, but I can't give specifics of what's happening,' Homan stated, indicating the seriousness and sensitivity of the ongoing investigation.
When asked directly about the probe into Omar, Homan confirmed that ICE is reviewing a reported issue that warrants further examination, though he did not disclose evidence or potential charges at this stage. This development follows recent remarks by DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who suggested that Omar may have engaged in marriage fraud by marrying a relative to secure immigration benefits, and hinted at the possibility of additional illegal acts.
Vice President JD Vance has also previously stated that the Justice Department is investigating possible immigration fraud involving Omar, underscoring the administration's commitment to rooting out corruption and upholding the integrity of the immigration system.
Homan emphasized that if immigration fraud is proven, denaturalization is a possible consequence—a necessary step to ensure that those who break the law are held accountable. Fox News Digital reached out to Omar's office for comment, but received no response, as the investigation continues to unfold.
