DHS Secretary Says Omar Immigration Allegation Is Under Investigation

Outlets agree that DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said authorities are investigating allegations that Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother to facilitate immigration; Omar denies the allegation. Center outlets report the investigation alongside Omar’s denials, with Newsweek stressing that the claims are unsubstantiated. Right-leaning outlets more often foreground the accusation and possible deportation; a Twitchy opinion piece separately urges her removal over her remarks about Charlie Kirk.
