Trump urges Ilhan Omar to resign amid renewed DOJ immigration probe
President Donald Trump urged Rep. Ilhan Omar to resign in Washington after the Department of Justice reopened an investigation into possible immigration fraud involving her and her father. The demand followed a 2024 federal raid on Omar’s D. C.
home, which PBS said led her to announce she would move out of the city. Subsequent court filings naming her as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” reported by WBFF, intensified scrutiny. Fox News noted that a deleted 2013 social-media post referencing her father resurfaced, and Newsweek added that a 2013 Father’s Day post was also removed, reviving a probe that NewsNation said had been closed in 2019 without evidence of fraud.
