In anyone else, a story that begins in a refugee camp and ends as an elected member of Congress would be a ‘living the American Dream’ story. But not for her.
It’s not as though she’s exactly the daughter of a farm labourer running for their lives, either. Her daddy was a Colonel in the Somali military before the civil war.
Long story short, she fled Somalia. Was welcomed to America. Grew up here, and eventually was elected to serve in Congress. To hear the way she speaks of America and the way she speaks of Somalia, it sounds like she’d rather be back home.
Her bother didn’t come with her to the States. He was resettled in the UK. The allegation is that she and her brother got married on paper for so long as it took him to get established so that he could immigrate to the US. If the claims hold up, that constitutes fraud. And the consequences could follow her to the present day.
Markwayne Mullen and Tom Homan have made public statements that there is real evidence to back up those claims and a criminal investigation is underway.
Border Czar Tom Homan says Dem Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is under criminal investigation by HSI for possible immigration/naturalization fraud. In his answer, he also implies that it could become a denaturalization case.

What impact does that criminal allegation for immigration fraud have on her role in Congress?
We’re about to find out. Comer is pushing for relevant information to be made public so that Congress can decide whether there is evidence sufficient to justify booting her out of the House.
“I think they should make it public. Absolutely, make it public,” Comer said during an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. “The evidence that I’ve seen would show that they would be privy to a lot more evidence than I would have. Most of the evidence I have is public already, anyway. So I think it should be made public, and I think the members of Congress should be the judge and the jury in this.
“Let us vote as to whether or not she needs to remain in Congress. If you violated the laws to become a citizen, should that make you ineligible to be a member of Congress? I think so. But put it up for a vote in Congress and let the American people see how their member of Congress would vote on that.”
Mullin revealed Thursday there is evidence that Omar, D-Minn., “married her brother” as part of an alleged immigration scheme and there is an “ongoing” investigation.
“We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States,” Mullin told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, adding that Omar’s ex-husband lives in London. — JustTheNews
That just covers the marriage fraud part.
We’ve not even waded into the allegations of her very cozy connections with all sorts of aspects of the Somali fraud being exposed in the last couple of years, and the role she personally played in including some of those programs in federal funding bills.
Or the curious case of the winery she and her current hubby were invested in… until they weren’t.
