Why Ilhan Omar Could Be In Big Trouble
YouTube ^ | 10/13/2026 | National Review

Posted on 10/14/2026 8:50:27 AM PDT by SmokingJoe

This video by Rich Lowry of National Review discusses ongoing controversies surrounding Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's immigration history and family background. The discussion is prompted by reports of a federal investigation involving the Department of Justice and Homeland Security Investigations at her home.

Key topics discussed include:

Father's Background (2:13 - 5:28): Lowry challenges the description of Omar's father solely as an educator, referencing reports of his alleged military service as a colonel in Somalia under the regime of Siad Barre.

Citizenship and Age (5:28 - 7:09): The video explores allegations regarding Omar's age at the time she gained U.S. citizenship, questioning whether she was a minor as required for the specific path to naturalization she utilized.

Family Identity and Marriage (7:09 - 11:55): Lowry reviews long-standing, unproven allegations from within the Somali community and other sources, suggesting that her family may have used false identities to gain asylum and that she may have married her own brother to facilitate his immigration to the United States.

Reflections on Gratitude (11:55 - 13:36): The video concludes with a critique of Omar's perspective on the United States, arguing that her public criticisms of the country are ungrateful given her background as a refugee

There’s nothing about Omar/Elmi that is genuine. Nothing.

Unless the Democrats take the House (as anticipated). Then she and a boatload of others will get away with all the fraud - laughing their collective asses off.

Meanwhile, DJT will be awarded his first and second Oak Leaf Cluster for his impeachment ribbon . . .

Let’s discuss what she is likely NOT in trouble: She’s not Trump or a MAGA person. Period. At most she’ll smirk off with some insulting to law order and justice slap on the wrist.

Nope.
House has nothing to do with DOJ prosecutions/Homeland Security enforcement of immigration laws under Trump.

But the courts do. And sympathetic judges might help drag out any prosecution until Trump is no longer president.

And if the Democrats retake the presidency in 2028, the prosecution will be dropped and/or a presidential pardon would be forthcoming.

I expect she will claim political asylum or refugee status in Europe before the U.S. can revoke her citizenship and deport her, if not chare her criminally for marrying her brother and lying about it.

This will be the 17th time a democrat has been investigated by this administration. So far, there have been zero arrests.

Democrats need the House before Dem judges can be biased and corrupt?
Nope.
Good news is, federal cases ultimately ends up at SCOTUS where corrupt thieves like Omar usually lose.
Democrats will win 2028 with the stupid, always drunk HO Kamala Harris?
Nope.

What matters is for her to face the grand jury and proceed to trial.
Remember, this search warrant was approved by a Democrat judge in deep blue DC.

Revoking her citizenship is the keystone.

If Omar's citizenship is revoked, she is immediately disqualified to serve in Congress due to lack of being a citizen. There is no court that would allow a non-citizen to serve in Congress, as that is a clear Article I Section 2 violation of the Constitution.

Once Omar is removed from Congress, she loses her Congressional immunities and privileges.

Search warrant, search, carry away boxes of evidence then prosecute.

I thought Eric Swallwell was in trouble, but nothing happened to him.
I thought James Comey was in trouble, but nothing happened to him.
