[Washington, D.C.] – Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somali-born Democrat representing Minnesota’s 5th District, is once again at the epicenter of political and legal scrutiny as top officials and critics reignite calls for the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to investigate and potentially prosecute the controversial congresswoman.
This latest demand comes amid renewed accusations that Omar committed immigration fraud by allegedly marrying her biological brother in 2009 to assist his U.S. residency — an act that, if proven, could result in deportation, loss of citizenship, and criminal charges. Now, with Pam Bondi reportedly leading a more aggressive and independent Department of Justice, the pressure is mounting for the federal government to finally address what some call “one of the most flagrant immigration violations committed by a sitting member of Congress.”
