Miranda Devine: Dems know Ilhan Omar is in deep trouble — that’s why they had Obama parachute in
NY Post ^ | 10/22/26 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 10/22/2026 6:59:04 AM PDT by Libloather

Barack Obama is like a firefighter parachuted in by the Democratic Party at times of crisis to put out fires.

So when he weighed in on Sunday on the federal investigation of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar over potential allegations of immigration fraud and financial offenses, you just knew that the party is seriously worried about the national implications if she were to be indicted and potentially denaturalized and deported.

Railing against the “appalling” investigation, Obama claimed Omar was “a law-abiding elected official” targeted because she “has dared to criticize the president,” and we should all be “outraged” about the weaponization of the Justice Department.

“It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say.”

That’s quite some chutzpah from the former president who launched the Russia-hoax persecutions of Trump.

But when it comes to the far-left Somalian-born congresswoman from Minnesota, there have long been rumors that she married her brother for immigration purposes.

Republican donors in 2021 spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on private investigators to covertly obtain DNA samples of Omar and her second husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who was living in London.

The samples gathered from discarded Coca-Cola cans, hair and cigarette butts were submitted to Endeavor DNA Laboratories.

The test results stated there was a 99.999998 percent chance that Omar and her now ex-husband, Elmi, are siblings.

Omar is an illegal alien, yet still on the ballot. When does Minnesota pull the plug?

Three years of verified evidence——perhaps the most extensive spree of illegalities by a House
member in American history-——appears to be probable cause to investigate Omar for the following;
<><>eight instances of perjury,
<><>immigration fraud,
<><>marriage fraud,
<><>up to eight years of state and federal tax fraud,
<><>two years of federal student loan fraud,
<><>including bigamy.


The maximum legal penalties for her individual charges break down as follows:

Immigration / Marriage Fraud Federal Up to 10 years
(Can increase to 15 years if connected to broader fraud schemes) 18 U.S.C. § 1546
Perjury / False Statements Federal Up to 5 years per count 18 U.S.C. § 1621 / § 1001
Bigamy State (e.g., Minnesota) Up to 5 years
(Up to 9 years in states like Maryland) Minn. Stat. § 609.355


How Real-World Sentencing Works-——If an individual is convicted of multiple offenses, the actual time served rarely equals the sum of all statutory maximums. A judge determines the final sentence using several guiding principles.

Sending her back to Somalia would be letting her off too easy. For her immigration and financial crimes, she should spend years behind bars. When her sentence has been served, then send her back.

There was a post last night here or on X about why no African Americans spoke up for Jessie Smollet when he had his incident in Chicago.

Then Dave Chapelle made it into one his funniest comedy routines. Why didn’t the brothers and sisters come out in support of Juicey? We supported him in our silence, because we knew that N#gger was lying.

The smart Dems are supporting Omar the same way. With their silence.

Don’t get pissed when nothing happens to her.

I see yet another strongly worded statement in our future.

Prosecutors called her “Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar”


A little thing of great importance.

Instead of defending Omar or launching party rallies,
Democrats “deflect” to make Republicans look bad.


Dems frame their push-back around “institutional concerns”—
conspicuously NOT defending actual claims against her.
<><>questioning DoJ’s timing
<><>slamming procedural rules.


Democratic leaders have shown a muted or cautious response rather than full-throated unity following recent federal investigations and attacks targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar, reflecting broader political calculations within the party:

• Rep. Omar is a prominent progressive, and mainstream or moderate Democratic establishment figures often hesitate to tie themselves too closely to the party’s left wing out of concern over how it plays with moderate or independent voters.

• Recent federal attention involving Omar—such as a pre-dawn search of her D.C. home tied to an ongoing federal/immigration investigation—has put party leaders in a complex spot.

• While some Democrats have criticized the timing of the action (noting it happened close to an election and violated traditional Justice Department norms against public actions near midterms), mainstream leaders have generally stopped short of offering full declarations of innocence or mounting a coordinated defense campaign.

• Over the years, some of Omar’s remarks regarding Israel, foreign policy, and 9/11 caused friction and public disputes with members of her own party, making some colleagues more reluctant to mount a unified defense when she’s under attack.

The story never went anywhere at the time because, only hours after a Minnesota GOP operative posted the DNA evidence online, the FBI busted him on child sex-trafficking charges for which he was convicted and remains in prison.

Not to worry Obama, it’s nothing personal. Todd Blanche is just Trump’s wingman.

“The test results stated there was a 99.999998 percent chance that Omar and her now ex-husband, Elmi, are siblings.”

Only 99.999998%???

“No reasonable prosecutor would bring a case,” Comey concluded.

Trump is handling this perfectly.
Your average MN voter pays zero attention to elections and just votes like their parents did.
UNLESS you lie to them.

Building a RICO case against Omar, the AG and the Gov will implicate the local TV and newspaper.

It is not just immigration fraud. She also committed fraud on her Passport.
Plus, apparently her “sister” may have turned on her to save her own skin.
This is what typically happens in RICO investigations. All the little fish turn on the big fish to save themselves.

Ilhan is part of a criminal conspiracy.
All the Dem politicians know it.
That is why you are not hearing from AOC and the rest of the Squad. They are all keeping their mouths shut.
They are trying to distance themselves from her.

In some ways she was set up. She is a post turtle, just like Obama.

I wonder if Obama might be one of those big fish after this little fish?

Think of Trump in the next two years. He is not a lame duck president.

But we have important things to do also.
