After the feds raided Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)’s immigration documents in a reportedly years-long fraud investigation into the Somali Congresswoman’s background, even far-left MS Now is admitting the feds likely have evidence.
The investigation appears to be focusing on whether she and her father lied on immigration papers filled out when she was a teen, as the statute of limitations on her alleged marriage to her brother has already expired.
A former immigration official previously told the New York Post that if Omar’s father lied on citizenship paperwork and she went along with the lie, it “would wipe her out from naturalization.” A top immigration official also told the Post, “If there’s enough evidence that she or [her father] lied on her immigration application to become a United States citizen, whether it was one time or several times, the Trump administration could initiate a denaturalization process that would strip her of her citizenship.”
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin previously suggested that her citizenship is illegitimate, saying, “If we can prove that you shouldn’t have been here in the first place, we’ll deport you.” Last month, Border Czar Tom Homan also suggested that Omar “lied or misrepresented” herself when becoming a citizen and that she can “absolutely” be naturalized if that is proven.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the criminal fraud investigation is looking at Omar’s immigration paperwork documents, which were filled out by her late father when she was a child.
A pre-dawn raid of her home began at around 6 am this morning and continued for over four hours as agents were seen carrying boxes of evidence out of her home.
“Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation,” a Department of Justice spokesperson said.
MS Now’s Ken Dilanian surprisingly admitted that in order to obtain the judicial search warrants, “the Department of Homeland Security, which carried out the search, had to present evidence to a judge, suggesting that there was evidence of a crime at this location at Representative Omar’s home in Washington, D.C. or at least that there was probable cause to believe that there was such evidence.”
Dilanian says the feds are trying to determine whether Omar, who claims she was born October 4, 1982, was 18 when she obtained her citizenship in 2000.
WATCH:
Omar was reportedly 17 when she obtained her citizenship. However, some theories suggest she was over the age of 18, which would have made her too old for naturalization through her parents and could constitute fraud.
Omar has never proven her date of birth with a birth certificate and has claimed that it was lost or destroyed during unrest in Somalia.
The investigation has reportedly been ongoing for years.

A person familiar with the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the non-public investigation, told CNBC that the investigation into Omar is complex and has been going on for years.

Omar, 44, was born in Somalia and brought to the United States as a child. She became a U.S. citizen in 2000 at 17. She was elected to Congress in November 2018 to represent Minnesota’s 5th District, which includes all of Minneapolis.
She and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., became the first two Muslim women elected to Congress.
