"If We Prove It - We Will Deport You": The Congresswoman Trump Despises Is in Trouble

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin claims in an interview that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married her brother as part of an immigration fraud scheme, and that she could face deportation. Omar strongly denies the allegations. Mullin warns that marriage fraud has no statute of limitations.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin claimed in a conservative podcast interview that Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married her brother as part of a serious immigration fraud scheme, and that she could face deportation. Mullin revealed the allegations during the Republican Party convention in Dallas, stating that the federal investigation may uncover additional illegal activity. According to him, marriage fraud is a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Omar, who became a U.S. citizen in 2000 at age 17, strongly denies the claims. At the center of the case is her second husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British citizen whom she married in February 2009. Omar has previously stated that her relationship with Elmi was brief and that they lived separately. Her chief of staff called the accusations a "ridiculous lie." President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance have publicly stated they are convinced Omar committed immigration fraud.
