Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said DHS is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar over allegations involving her marriage and immigration. He said officials are examining possible fraud and would pursue cases if they can prove violations.
Markwayne Mullin said during a Republican midterm convention in Dallas that DHS is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar. He alleged that Omar married her brother to help him enter the United States and said officials were examining possible immigration fraud and related family migration.
Mullin said DHS would move cases forward if it could prove violations and would enforce immigration laws regardless of who was involved. The article also says former border czar Tom Homan had previously confirmed an investigation and attributes to DHS a claim that as many as 50 percent of visas in Minnesota are fraudulent.

9 OUTLETSOutlets 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.
