Vance says Rep. Ilhan Omar is under DOJ investigation for immigration fraud ‘right now’

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for possible immigration fraud, Vice President JD Vance revealed Tuesday.

Omar has faced repeated questions over the years about her immigration status — as well as her family finances and potential ties to a COVID-era fraud scheme in Minnesota.

“I don’t want to prejudge an investigation,” Vance told reporters at the White House. “It certainly seems like something fishy is there, but everybody’s entitled to equal justice under the laws.”

“So we’re going to investigate it. We’re going to take a look at it. If we think that there’s a crime, we’re going to prosecute that crime, and that’s something the Department of Justice is looking at right now,” he added.

Vance, who is in charge of the administration’s efforts to combat benefit fraud, said earlier this year that Omar “definitely committed immigration fraud.”

Omar’s chief of staff, Connor McNutt, called the claim “a ridiculous lie,” though the allegations have dogged the congresswoman since her first campaign for the US House in 2018.

The Minnesota Democrat has married three times, but her second husband, a UK citizen named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, has been identified in several reports over the past decade as a possible sibling.

Elmi and Omar, a Muslim, were wedded in February 2009 as part of a Christian ceremony in Eden Prairie, Minn., according to a Hennepin County marriage certificate previously obtained by The Post. The couple divorced in December 2017.

Marrying your brother may not be such a good thing after all.

Wake me up when there is a perp walk. I have a Cuban cigar and a tawny port set aside an anticipation of this event.

“Wake me up when there is a perp walk.”

Same here.

I’ve followed this story on and off for years. To me, there’s no doubt of her guilt but due to skin color and her gender, she’s not gonna get nailed.

I’m certain she’s really worried about that ongoing investigation.

Now Vance is spreading RUMORS!

Anything less than an ARREST is a rumor. Cuffs, perpwalk, mugshot.

Only ARRESTS matter!

I've learned my lesson trying to kick Lucy's football.

Zero arrests, ZERO MIDTERM VOTE!!

168 days.

How long of an investigation do you need to do for crying out loud? This was no secret, Mr. Magoo could crack this case. If there is probable cause, arrest her. So sick of the never ending investigations that lead to nothing being ever done. Just do it, you may shake em up enough to where they start ratting each other out to save their own dirty azzes.
