Watters: Democrats HATE this case - YouTube. Oct 14, 2026 Watters: Ilhan Omar’s dad wasn’t some low-level soldier… **Jesse:** Fox News alert. World War XI is off to a hot start. It's not being waged on one front anymore; it's two. The feds showed up at Ilhan Omar's door with a warrant. Tuesday, the feds moved in on her family, and tonight Fox can report that investigators seized Omar's phone as part of their immigration investigation. _The Wall Street Journal_ says they took her computers and passport, too. The Justice Department is building a case that would strip her of...

Authorities have subpoenaed members of the Democratic congresswoman’s family as part of a broader look at their immigration paperwork WASHINGTON—The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe. The multipronged effort is focused at least in part on how Omar obtained her citizenship after she arrived in the U.S. from Somalia decades ago. Investigators are focused both on the congresswoman and actions of her deceased father, some of the people familiar...

Federal agents seized Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s phone when they searched her Washington, D.C., home this week as part of a federal investigation into potential immigration-related crimes, and have sent roughly a dozen subpoenas out in the case, according to two people familiar with the investigation. The possible charges cited by federal officials included conspiracy and making false statements in immigration paperwork, one of the people said. The search came just three weeks before the midterms, within the window of time when the Justice Department has typically avoided overt actions in criminal cases that could impact an election. And the...

This video by Rich Lowry of National Review discusses ongoing controversies surrounding Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's immigration history and family background. The discussion is prompted by reports of a federal investigation involving the Department of Justice and Homeland Security Investigations at her home. Key topics discussed include: Father's Background (2:13 - 5:28): Lowry challenges the description of Omar's father solely as an educator, referencing reports of his alleged military service as a colonel in Somalia under the regime of Siad Barre. Citizenship and Age (5:28 - 7:09): The video explores allegations regarding Omar's age at the time she gained U.S. citizenship,...

We're living in the best timeline. This morning, Ilhan Omar's home was raided by Homeland Security, because marrying your brother to commit immigration fraud is apparently a "no-no." Boxes of evidence were hauled from Omar's DC home and now we know that the investigation into Omar's citizenship status has an official nickname: World War Eleven The hard-hitting journos at WaPo have brought us absolute gold with this reporting.

Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., formally introduced sweeping legislation to dismantle the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and eliminate Customs and Border Protection (CBP), advancing a radical proposal that would fundamentally overhaul federal immigration enforcement. The progressive "Squad" member's "Reimagining Safety Act" would replace DHS with a new "Department of Community Safety," while preserving several existing federal agencies such as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The legislation would eliminate CBP, including the Border Patrol, toppling the federal agency currently responsible for securing America's borders and screening travelers and goods...

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) defiantly broke her silence after a Homeland Security Investigations raid of her DC residence on Monday, as she and her allies claimed the action was part of President Trump’s repeated attempts to intimidate her as a political foe.“I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement,” Omar said in a statement on X. “For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.”“I will not be silenced,” the congresswoman added in...

After the feds raided Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)’s immigration documents in a reportedly years-long fraud investigation into the Somali Congresswoman’s background, even MS Now is admitting the feds likely have evidence. The investigation appears to be focusing on whether she and her father lied on immigration papers filled out when she was a teen, as the statute of limitations on her alleged marriage to her brother has already expired. A former immigration official previously told the New York Post that if Omar’s father lied on citizenship paperwork and she went along with the lie, it “would wipe her out from...

A raid on controversial Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, DC, home signifies law enforcement has already amassed compelling evidence of criminal activity and are nearing the end of a long investigation, a source told The Post. The most likely scenario, multiple people claimed, is that immigration cops are looking into a long-floated rumor that Omar is actually one year older than she has long claimed to be — a tiny detail that may put her citizenship in jeopardy. “The big picture here is a federal judge in Washington, DC, signed off on a search warrant. That means there’s probable cause...

The home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, was raided early Monday morning by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital. The raid stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child. Two sources close to the investigation confirmed the details of the probe Thursday, after border czar Tom Homan said in mid-September that the progressive congresswoman was subject to an ongoing "criminal" investigation.

Former state trooper John Nagel pointed the finger at his opponent, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and the Democratic Party for allowing Somali American gang-linked violence to escalate in the Twin Cities. Residents of Eden Prairie and surrounding Twin Cities suburbs have been left fearing for their safety after a string of gang-related incidents this month, including the shooting of two teens outside an Eden Prairie High School football game and more than 100 shell casings recovered in a Bloomington neighborhood. "Where is Ilhan Omar in all of this?" Nagel, a Minnesota native who spent 30 years as a state trooper,...

This is a question Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is mulling. "I mean, marrying your brother so he could gain entry into the US as a spouse is fraud. Since she was married to another man at the time, it was also bigamy, which is another crime. As a member of Congress should Rep. Omar (D-Minn) be exempt or should she, as a lawmaker, be held to a higher standard and have to answer for such violations? It's a real conundrum." Abdihakim Osman, a friend of Rep. Omar, said that Omar told her "she wanted to get papers...

A watchdog group that filed a complaint against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is demanding the House Ethics panel obtain her financial documents rather than sweeping a high-profile inquiry of her under the rug. The 11th hour push comes after a congressional panel voted to dismiss an investigation of Omar’s staggering gains in disclosed wealth that she blamed on an oversight. Paul Kamenar of the National Legal and Policy Center called it “stunning” that the Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5-1 to recommend the House Ethics Committee dismiss a probe of Omar, after Omar’s office cited the “overwhelming” vote. “From day...

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin claimed on Thursday that Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) "married her brother" as part of an alleged immigration fraud scheme, adding that she could now face deportation. Mullin made the remarks while speaking with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson at the GOP midterm convention in Dallas. During the conversation, he discussed the federal investigation into the "Squad" congresswoman, describing the probe as ongoing. "We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States," Mullin said of the Minnesota Democrat. "We know he lives now in London." He was referring to...

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Thursday asserted that Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) “married her brother” as part of an alleged fraudulent immigration scheme — and could face deportation. Mullin made the comment to conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, as he discussed the “ongoing” federal investigation into the “Squad” congresswoman, at the GOP midterm convention in Dallas. “We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States,” Mullin said confidently. “We know he lives now in London,” the DHS chief added, referring to Omar’s ex-husband.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says a federal investigation involving Rep. Ilhan Omar is active — and that investigators are looking beyond the long-running, disputed allegation about her marriage history. Mullin made the comments during an interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson at the Republican midterm convention. Asked what would happen next, the DHS secretary answered: “Something’s going to happen. This is an ongoing investigation.” Here is the exchange: Mullin asserted that Omar married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom he described as her brother, to help him enter the United States. That allegation has circulated for years, but it has...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a “Squad” buddy whipped up a panic Thursday demanding the feds to probe “a national crisis” involving a string of “modern-day lynchings” of blacks — even though all available evidence does not point to racial animus in the tragic deaths. The far-left New York City Dem joined US Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and other Democrats in firing off a letter to US Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday urging them “to fully investigate suspicious deaths and hold individuals accountable,” citing “10 reported hangings of Black people” so far in 2026....

Muslim NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were seen laughing as the names of the honored dead were read aloud at the 9/11 memorial on Friday. Friday marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Nearly 3,000 Americans were killed on 9/11. The world changed that day. Time stood still. Everyone remembers where they were when the Twin Towers came down.

The children of bloodthirsty Somali dictator Siad Barre, whose rule left as many as 200,000 people dead, are quietly living in the US — alongside victims of his regime. The Post located the despot’s “right-hand man” son Ayanle and daughter Deka Mohamed Siad, in Columbus, Ohio, where they lead unassuming suburban lives. However, among the wider Somali community, their presence is a painful reminder of the regime and some are calling for US authorities to investigate. “Siad Barre and his men committed so many war crimes so I was shocked to see his son [Ayanle] in the mosque enjoying his...

Trump's top immigration official claims an internal investigation found that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar 'married her brother' and could be facing deportation. 'We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said of the Minnesota Democrat. 'We know he lives now in London.' He was speaking about the second man Omar married, who the Daily Mail has previously reported is Ahmed Elmi. Both are originally from Somalia. She allegedly was still married to her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, at the time of the second marriage, the congresswoman...
