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.'

Agreed. I finally left that useless party for independence 5 years ago.
Same thing he’s doing now. Nothing
Just talk
He thinks he can run for president? He likes to think he’s a great statesman? No
He does nothing
Omar has been in for nine years. Cruz is looking like a joke more and more
Omar may just have far more legal problems than marriage to her brother
She could be going to prison
She could be going to prison
I’ll take “Things That Will Never Happen for $400”, Alex.
Democrats never have to worry about being jailed for actually committing the crimes they are charged with, while they will try to imprison Trump for made up crimes. This is what has become of the baby killing, thans promoting, Godless Democrat party.
“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”
They’re just using this to distract us from the fact that the Republicans aren’t doing jack sh*t. Well, maybe we’ll get some more hearings.
He's not eligible.
</chuckle>
There’s no “if” about it, records exist.
It has been known for years including during Trump and the GOP lacked the stones to do a thing about it and they still won’t.
where-ever there are incest laws, sibling marriages are included (as prohibited) ttbomk.
so why the paper would put the word in scare-quotes, is odd
What’s he doing with this then?
Stop “warning” and start DEPORTING.
It’s already pretty well established she’s here fraudulently.
Make her an example.
The time for harsh words is over.
I bet Ilhan is shaking in her hijab now!
If only Republicans had been as hard on Omar as they were on George Santos. He was gone to jail before his first 2 year term was over while this vile bitch has sat in the congress for 6 years.
Lord, Let it be so!!!!!!!!
How long have we been hearing about this mongrel trash and her incest? Freepers have been talking about it at least since Clinton was posing as potus. (Ok, I exaggerate.)
Sincerely,
Every Elected Republican
I think she has a better chance of becoming The Pope than ever serving jail time.
“If it’s true.” Shouldn’t that be known by now??! S*** or get off the pot, Republicans.
