A longtime Harvard Law professor and liberal lawyer believes the FBI raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) home has landed her in serious legal jeopardy, and he predicts she will very likely lose her citizenship and face deportation to Somalia, the country of her birth.
That lawyer is Alan Dershowitz, and he made his prediction on Newsmax’s The Record with Greta Van Susteren.
The whole case hinges on whether Omar became a U.S. citizen, and if so, how. She claims she became a citizen as a minor when her father was naturalized. The problem is that nobody has produced the paperwork to back that up, and Van Susteren zeroed in on that gap.
"Assuming that that paperwork is never found, what happens? And what does Congress do about her?" Van Susteren asked.
Dershowitz walked through the legal bar the government has to clear. "Well, they have to prove — to have denaturalization, you have to prove fraud," he said. That means prosecutors would need to show that Omar committed fraud herself, or that her father did with her participation.
“Now, she, when she made the statement recently, makes the strongest case for why she’s probably in deep trouble,” Dershowitz continued. “I have a lot of experience with search warrants, and usually they’re issued pretty easily, but not against a sitting congresswoman in her home in the District of Columbia. I think for this judge to have signed off on a search warrant to go to the house early in the morning to do all the things she said they did, there has to be very substantial evidence beyond just a mere probable cause claim that maybe a crime was committed. So, I think she’s in much, much deeper trouble than she is willing to admit.”

Then there's the brother question.
In fact, Omar herself essentially conceded she might have married her brother. During an interview on MS NOW, Chris Hayes asked Omar directly whether she had married her sibling, an allegation of fraud President Donald Trump has raised many times. She gave an answer that should have alarmed every Democrat watching.
"Not to my knowledge," Omar said.
I’m surprised that she didn’t use the Hillary the Hillabeast proven successful reply when asked about her numerous crimes, “I do not recall.”
Ilhan the Muslim creep-ess is one of the few women in the multiverse who is even more crooked, craven, and corrupt than the Hillabeast.
Good show, Ilhan Omar the Muslim.
Her name is not Omar. It’s Emli or Emil or Elmo or Emo or LiMu or something. But it’s not Omar.
This is encouraging, and I respect Dershowitz’s opinion, but it’s in some sense a stretch to call him a “liberal lawyer.” It’s true that he still considers himself a liberal, but he left the Democrats, and in April 2026 he became a Republican.
It’s not as if some Democrat stalwart had said this about Ilhan Omar, or whatever her name is.
Yes, but his point that getting a search warrant against a sitting Congresswoman requires more than just the minimal probable cause that would be needed against your average crook is well taken.
I hope this means that the DOJ has a slam dunk case on her involvement in corruption in Minnesota. If I were a judge, given this administrations (justified) hostility to her, I would expect a lot of probable cause before I would sign off on that warrant. If nothing else but to cya and make sure the warrant didn’t get thrown out by the trial court, or on appeal.
Denaturalization is a much higher bar.
He switched parties. He’s now a Republican.
Dershowitz hasn’t been a “liberal lawyer” in decades.
Apparently, PJ Media has not been paying attention to what is going on with prof Dersh-he became a Republican months ago-like RR, he said his party left him...
Oh, I agree with you. I was just hoping, from the “Liberal Lawyer” in the title, to see a *new* defection from the Democrats. But that’s OK; I’ll take Dershowitz!
She needs to resign and won’t do it.
It’s looking bad for the Islamocommie party!
And former democrats have no party.
It’s been usurped by terrorists and foreign operatives.
Those former democrats, like Hochul and Pocahontas, are destroying themselves by supporting these terrorist sympathizers!
