175 Democrats demand Trump admin stop Ilhan Omar investigation, warn it could hurt her re-election bid
Fox News ^ | 10/27/26 | Elizabeth Elkind

Nearly 200 House Democrats are moving to shield Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from further investigation after federal investigators raided her Washington, D.C., home earlier this month.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., led 175 members of the House Democratic Caucus in a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Attorney General Todd Blanche, criticizing the probe into Omar's immigration history as a partisan attack and accusing them of trying to sway her bid for another term in Congress.

"Congresswoman Omar is seeking reelection in Minnesota’s 5th congressional district in just one week. News of the search warrant, whether properly predicated or not, could affect voters’ decisions, which is exactly why federal law enforcement should not engage in such conduct when voters are casting their ballots. This type of interference strips Minnesotans of their right to a free and fair election guaranteed to them under the Constitution," the letter said.

"We stand with Congresswoman Omar and condemn the weaponization of law enforcement against her. You have already disgraced the offices you hold, and we demand you refrain from taking any further actions that could affect the outcome of the upcoming election."

Omar, D-Minn., is under federal investigation over allegations she or her father lied about her birth year on immigration paperwork to obtain her citizenship when her family fled Somalia in the late 1990s. If she was 17 when her father obtained citizenship, as previously thought, she would have automatically qualified along with him. If she was 18 or older, which federal officials now suspect, she would have had to make her own application.

Dems shouldn’t have pushed nonsensical legal cases against Trump.

Breathtaking irony.

I'd bet Ms. Elkind got a good chuckle as she reported that fact.

Maybe she could have avoided this complication by, oh, I don’t know, not being a criminal?

Whatever happened to “NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW”? Does it no longer apply for some reason?

My first thought.

Do the Rats think they gave Trump a free ride over the last 11 years?

News of the search warrant, whether properly predicated or not, could affect voters’ decisions, ...

If it was properly predicated, why would there be any objection??

I would just go all in and send the feds to arrest her for fraudulently taking a seat in Congress. Anything she sponsored is null and void.

She needs to be removed from Congress and then removed from the country permanently.

Yeah, about that “demand.” To quote Obama when Republicans complained about an unfairness: “I won.”
