Ilhan Omar’s immigration records under scrutiny amid Trump's fraud claims, $30 million net worth controversy
Federal agents searched Ilhan Omar’s Washington home over allegations of false statements in immigration records and subpoenaed relatives. Omar denied wrongdoing and called the search political intimidation, while Trump attacked her over her finances and immigration history.
US President Donald Trump’s administration has intensified its investigation into Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar's immigration records amid allegations of fraud. Federal agents conducted a search of her Washington residence, seizing documents related to her immigration history. The inquiry allegedly focuses on whether Omar or her late father provided false information on immigration forms to obtain legal status and US citizenship.
It also examines whether her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, lied or withheld information on immigration forms before becoming a US citizen. The investigation includes allegations of false statements, fraud in immigration documents, and conspiracy. Omar's sister and another relative were also subpoenaed by federal authorities as part of the probe.
Omar has denied any wrongdoing and condemned the search as an attempt by the Trump administration to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. She has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in immigration matters.
