Homan Confirms Criminal Probe of Ilhan Omar Over Immigration Fraud Allegations, Citing Possible Denaturalization

Summary
Tom Homan said Homeland Security Investigations is conducting an ongoing criminal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration pathway, but he declined to discuss evidence, charges or timing.
The probe centers on long-running allegations that Omar married a man critics claim was her brother as part of an immigration scheme; Omar has repeatedly denied that claim, calling it unproven and a bigoted lie.
Homan said proven fraud in the naturalization process could trigger denaturalization, describing that remedy as serious and established, though he offered no indication that such action has been approved in Omar’s case.
The confirmation follows months of escalating public comments from Trump administration officials: JD Vance said in May the Justice Department was looking into Omar, and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin recently said, without public proof, that “something’s going to happen.”
