Senator Ted Cruz has weighed in on Representative Ilhan Omar and issued her with a warning after allegations have swirled that the progressive congresswoman married her brother so he could become an American citizen.
Cruz shared an article on X, accusing Omar of the reported sham marriage, writing: 'If this is true, then Omar faces criminal liability under three different statutes.'
The Republican senator then cited three US laws, including Federal Marriage Fraud, State Incest Laws, and Tax Fraud.
Federal Marriage Fraud prohibits any American from knowingly entering into a marriage to evade immigration laws.
Meanwhile, all state incest laws prohibit marriage between close blood relatives, and Minnesota lists incest as a felony, with a punishment of up to 10 years in prison.
Lastly, Cruz stated the Tax Fraud law, which prohibits couples who are not legally married from filing joint federal tax returns and carries a fine of up to $100,000.
The wild allegations have plagued Omar for years, but have recirculated after Donald Trump peddled the theory while speaking at a recent rally in Pennsylvania.
Speaking about Omar, the president told the crowd: 'We oughta get her the hell out.'

All true and this has been talked about for years - who is seriously looking into it rather than just toss accusations and trying to score political points?
Omar is in the highest possible politically protected class. It would be shocking for her to be held accountable for her many crimes.
Once you go brother
There can be no other.
These are not wild allegations.
oh brother
Sorry Ted-0 but you and every republican has known for years that it is true- and ya’ll did nothing while she accumulated $30,000,000 in wealth while in congress
Ted Cruz is like a hero. He is like the guy who skipped out on us to the Caribbean while we Texans were iced in with no power.
This woman has been in the House of Representatives since 2017
That’s nine years. 9
And look at the damage
Somebody married someone.
That’s a big deal coming from Cruz.
If they don't agree to provide samples, that proves something too, doesn't it?
If true.
Cruz proving yet once again how utterly useless Congressional Republicans are.
Nothing will happen.
Sick of this BS.
More empty threats from Republicans.
So what, exactly, could Cruz have done in Texas during that deep freeze? I’ll sit down and wait for your answer…
The Democrats want her gone and will get a RINO to do the dirty work for them. Make her a victim, a martyr, and point the finger at evil Republicans.
For Somalis, incest is best.
Yeah, wake me up when she's actually been deported.
So sick of the "we're thinking about doing such and such" from this administration.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are literally murdering our most effective foot soldiers, totally getting away with it, and running the table on special elections.
This whole thing appears to be people repeating internet rumors. I haven’t seen one shred of evidence substantiating this.
