ICE refuses to disclose records on Ilhan Omar fraud probe, cites ongoing ‘enforcement proceedings’
Just the News ^ | 8/13/26 | Steven Richards

Posted on 08/12/2026 9:58:48 PM PDT by CFW

The federal government is refusing to turn over records related to an investigation conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement into allegations of immigration fraud by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., citing a legal exemption for ongoing investigations.

Just the News filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the records in January, seeking the records pertaining to any investigations conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement into the allegations that Rep. Omar, who represents Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, married a relative in order to help him remain in the country.

Omar has denied the allegations. No court records, DNA evidence, or other documentary proof has ever substantiated that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar's legal husband from 2009–2017, was her biological brother.

“ICE has determined that the information you requested is being withheld in full pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A). Disclosure of any responsive records at this time could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings,” ICE told Just the News in response to the FOIA in May.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

It'd be great that if about 6 to 8 weeks before the election we suddenly had dozens of arrests, denaturalizations, and deportations of those such as Omar.

It's also be nice if at the same time, there were idictments and arrests of those such as Comey, Brennan, Yates, Wray, etc.

Maybe after the Labor Day Weekend.

Omar’s Congressional disclosure form was falsified.....reported joint assets with her husband, Tim Mynett, valued between $6 million and $30 million.

Omar then filed an amended disclosure showing assets worth only $18,000 to $95,000.

Her office stated that her husband’s business accountant failed to deduct liabilities and debts in the initial filing, which falsely inflated the net worth of his business ventures.

Omar’s team stated the correction was made voluntarily after inquiries from the nonpartisan Office of Congressional Conduct.

Republican lawmakers and the House Oversight Committee criticized the massive discrepancy, leading to a referral to the House Ethics Committee for further review.-———House.gov

Omar’s father, a general in Isaaq genocide by Islamic Socialist Siad Barre, was looking to escape justice when he came overhere.

Representative Ilhan Omar has faced intense political scrutiny and statements from the Trump administration regarding potential federal reviews, but she has dismissed these claims as politically motivated.

While White House officials and House Republicans have pointed to her family finances and Minnesota’s pandemic-era nutrition programs, Omar has denied any wrongdoing or formal ethics investigations into her amended financial disclosures.


Scrutiny and Inquiries-—Finances and Disclosures:

House Republicans and administration figures scrutinized Omar’s finances after she amended a financial disclosure form to correct an accounting error that had previously overstated her husband’s business assets. Omar’s office stated the correction proved she was not a millionaire, while dismissing calls for further inquiry.

State-Level Fraud Scandals: Minnesota state lawmakers have sought records and communications connected to federal pandemic relief programs like Feeding Our Future, though a formal state committee vote to subpoena Omar failed.


Omar has strongly denied any knowledge of or involvement in the fraud scheme. She has rejected allegations of criminal or ethical wrongdoing, characterizing the ongoing attacks and administration statements as targeted political harassment.

After the midterms would be better. Let’s see how the governors race turns out first.

I suspect the Republicans don’t have the courage to unveil the truth about Omar.

I've always wondered what all this is based on.

How much more investigation of Ilhan Omar does ICE need?

Do we need more investigation of the moon before we are able to conclude it is not made of green cheese?!

"No court records, DNA evidence, or other documentary proof has ever SUBSTANTIATED.."

Note the very weasel word "substantiated." This is typically a legal dodge for knowledge that is well founded in reputable data that has yet to be adjudicated from a court of law.

I think it’s pretty obvious they’re not gonna do anything about her.
