‘Ilhan Omar is under criminal investigation.’

by

“Border Czar Tom Homan says Dem Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is under criminal investigation by HSI for possible immigration/naturalization fraud. In his answer, he also implies that it could become a denaturalization case.

I asked Homan on
@SundayBriefFNC
about DHS Sec Markwayne Mullin asserting this week “We know that [Rep. Omar] married her brother to try to bring him to the United States” :

HOMAN: I’m not going to comment on an ongoing criminal investigation. I know things are going on. But I can’t get specifics of what’s happening. But we’ll see. I mean, if someone committed immigration violation and someone committed marriage fraud or anything like that, regardless if they’re a congresswoman or not, no one’s above the law, so I’ll leave it at that. We’ll let, HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, continue the investigation.
HEINRICH: Okay. So you’re confirming that there is an investigation into Congresswoman Omar.
HOMAN: I’m confirming that ICE is – yeah. Look, I said months ago, that is something that’s been reported and it needs to be looked at.
…
HEINRICH: Okay… She is, though, a naturalized U.S. citizen…. I guess what I’m asking is, is there a naturalization case that is being brought against her?
HOMAN: Look, you know, I’ve been around 40 years and we’ve done de-nats cases. We have denaturalized citizens based on fraud, based on lying on their applications or lying through the process, misrepresenting themselves, or maybe misrepresenting organizations they belong to or beliefs they have. But denaturalization is a process. It’s a very serious process. So if someone lies through that process to becoming a citizen, and we can prove they in fact lied or misrepresented themselves, we can absolutely denaturalize them. We’ve done it before many times over the last 40 years I’ve been around. So it’s a process.
HEINRICH: And then just knowing how this is going to be received, you know what what would you say to the Democrat critics who are just going to make the argument that this is a politically motivated, pursuit?
HOMAN: There’s nothing political about it. ICE is enforcing law that Congress wrote. I mean, these are all laws that are in statute.”
