Ilhan Omar Denies DHS Contact After Homan Confirms Criminal Investigation

Omar said DHS has not contacted her about any criminal probe, after Tom Homan said ICE is conducting an ongoing investigation involving the Minnesota Democrat.
Homan gave no details on the case and did not say whether investigators have evidence of immigration or naturalization fraud, though he said allegations against Omar "need to be looked at."
Omar dismissed the accusations — including a long-running claim that she married her brother to secure citizenship — as right-wing attacks and said she does not worry about them.
No public evidence has surfaced confirming an open federal case, but Vice President JD Vance and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin had already suggested this year that authorities were examining the allegations.
Homan said proven fraud in the citizenship process can lead to denaturalization, underscoring the potential stakes for Omar, a naturalized U.S. citizen.
