Tom Homan Confirms Criminal Investigation Into Ilhan Omar
Tom Homan said Sunday that ICE is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar for alleged immigration and naturalization fraud. He confirmed the investigation on Fox News but declined to provide evidence or details.
- Homan said: 'I know things are going on, but I can't give specifics.'
- DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin earlier said 'something's going to happen' regarding Omar.
- Vice President JD Vance said in May the Justice Department was examining whether Omar committed immigration fraud.
- Omar has repeatedly denied all fraud allegations; no court has substantiated any claim against her.
Why it matters: Denaturalization is a legal process used when someone is proven to have lied or misrepresented themselves while obtaining citizenship. Homan called it 'very serious' and said it has been used before.
- Applying it to a sitting member of Congress would be legally unprecedented in modern American history.
