False headline claim: Ilhan Omar faces 40 years in prison and deportation
Reuters ^ | 5/19/20

Posted on 05/20/2020 3:44:09 AM PDT by Libloather

A widely circulated article on social media makes the claim that Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar (D) is facing 40 years in prison and deportation “after newly uncovered crimes”. This headline is false. Additional allegations and speculation within in the articles that the posts reference are beyond the scope of this fact check.

**SNIP**

One instance of the claim that she is facing 40 years in prison (here) stems from a 2019 video by The Next News Network (here) in which the host references a supposed investigation into Omar by right-wing journalist David Steinberg.

David Steinberg (twitter.com/realDSteinberg) of PJ Media allegedly uncovered evidence to demonstrate that from 2009 to 2017, Omar committed eight cases of perjury (lying under oath) in relation to her marriage history (here).

**SNIP**

VERDICT

False headline. Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is not under investigation, nor facing formal charges, meaning she cannot be facing “40 years in prison and deportation”.

“...Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar is not under investigation, nor facing formal charges...”

Well, that is disappointing news. Of course, maybe immediate deportation would be better. It would save a lot of trouble & expense.

I don’t believe Ilhan Omar is in any more danger of going to prison than Hillary, Comey, Brennan, or Clapper. Traitors who hate America are protected by the Deep State. Sadly, they are completely immune to justice.

This is from Reuters so perhaps Omar really is guilty and Reuters is covering for a fellow RAT.
