Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed the federal probe into Representative Ilhan Omar extends well beyond the Minnesota congresswoman herself, warning it targets multiple individuals. The investigation covers alleged immigration fraud and false statements on government documents, with DHS and the Justice Department both involved after agents searched Omar's Washington home on 12 October.
A prominent Minnesota Democratic operative, Joe Radinovich, broke ranks this week, posting that the marriage fraud allegations are 'almost certainly true.'
Obama-era federal investigators found evidence suggesting Omar's 2009 marriage to British citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi may have been fraudulent, but prosecutors declined charges citing the statute of limitations.
Elmi, now a University of Bristol doctoral researcher, identified as gay in a paper published in August, adding a fresh twist to the long-running claims.
