Ilhan Omar Introduces Bill to Strip $140 Billion From ICE and Give It to Communities ‘Hurt’ by Deportation Raids

Rep. Ilhan Omar has introduced legislation that would take nearly $140 billion Congress already appropriated for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection and send it to communities she says were “harmed” by immigration operations.

The bill is titled the Make ICE Pay Act.

“For over a year, ICE has been tearing through our nation, leading racist terror campaigns that have caused devastating damage to our cities, to our businesses, and to the lives of our constituents,” Omar said in a press release about the bill.

“In Minneapolis, Operation Metro Surge cost our community nearly $700 million. We have a moral responsibility to end this abuse of power. Our bill will force ICE to pay the price for the damage they’ve left in their wake and ensure that these devastating operations can never be repeated.”

Other cosponsors include Reps. Angie Craig, Jesús García, Rashida Tlaib, Chellie Pingree, Sydney Kamlager-Dove, and Janelle Bynum.

“The psychological and financial impacts of Operation Metro Surge will be generational,” Craig said of the bill. “As Minnesotans begin the long process of healing from the wounds that President Trump’s ICE inflicted, it’s important that we commit to holding this lawless and misguided administration accountable. There is much more work to be done, but this bill is a critical step toward making our communities whole.”

Ilhan Omar Snaps on Reporter Over Immigration Fraud Investigation, Denies She’s Under Investigation – Says Tom Homan Has Been “Saying Dumb Sh*t Like You”

Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Wednesday responded to the Trump Administration saying they’ve launched a criminal investigation into her by laughing and calling the comments by Border Czar Tom Homan “dumb sh*t.”

LindellTV’s Allison Steinberg confronted Omar in the House office building, asking, “Tom Homan said that you’re under criminal investigation for immigration marriage fraud. Any comment on that?”

But Omar brazenly laughed about the criminal activity and said, “No, I don’t have a comment for that.”

“What a ridiculous thing to ask,” she added when asked if she married her brother. “Did you marry your brother?” she continued, calling the allegation “disgusting.”

Asked, “why are you being criminally investigated?” Omar said, “I am not,” and called Tom Homan a liar.

“He is. He’s been saying some dumb sh*t, like you,” Omar told Steinberg.

This comes after Homeland Security Secretary Mullin on Friday confirmed that Ilhan Omar “married her brother to try to bring him into the United States,” and there is an “ongoing investigation”

“Something’s going to happen,” Mullin said, adding, “If we can prove that you shouldn’t have been here in the first place, we’ll deport you.”

Comer demands release of Ilhan Omar immigration evidence so Congress can weigh expulsion

The chairman of the House Oversight Committee is vowing to pursue a contempt vote against financier Leon Black for refusing testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein probe and calling on the Trump administration to release any evidence showing whether Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar broke immigration laws and should be expelled from Congress.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., made the comments Monday night after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and White House border czar Tom Homan indicated such evidence involving Omar exists and is under investigation.

“I think they should make it public. Absolutely, make it public,” Comer said during an interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. “The evidence that I’ve seen would show that they would be privy to a lot more evidence than I would have. Most of the evidence I have is public already, anyway. So I think it should be made public, and I think the members of Congress should be the judge and the jury in this.

“Let us vote as to whether or not she needs to remain in Congress. If you violated the laws to become a citizen, should that make you ineligible to be a member of Congress? I think so. But put it up for a vote in Congress and let the American people see how their member of Congress would vote on that.”

Mullin revealed Thursday there is evidence that Omar, D-Minn., “married her brother” as part of an alleged immigration scheme and there is an “ongoing” investigation.

“We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States,” Mullin told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, adding that Omar’s ex-husband lives in London. 

Mullin explained that lying about certain things on an immigration application can result in deportation, and there’s no expiration for that. 

The investigation may turn up “illegal activity,” which could result in Omar being deported, Mullin suggested. He cautioned that the case is still being investigated and insisted it’s not politically motivated. 

Omar became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000, when she was 17 years old, and she has vehemently denied marrying her brother. 

Homan confirmed Sunday federal officials are looking into the allegations as part of an “ongoing criminal investigation.”

“I know things are going on, but I can’t give specifics of what’s happening,” he said.

Ilhan Omar Has Been Cleared of Misconduct Accusations, but Something Doesn’t Add Up

Sometimes things just don’t make sense. Especially when someone like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is concerned.

She’s been a controversial figure in the past, especially when it came to her “Somalia first” statements that she’s made – something that doesn’t reflect well on someone of her stature. But it’s her most recent case surrounding a mysterious increase in funds that I feel needs a bit more attention – especially considering the result.

See, there was a financial disclosure with Omar’s personal records a while back, indicating that her and her husband’s assets were between $6 million and $30 million. That’s a far cry from the salary of $174,000 that she makes with her current position.

Many believed that she was taking advantage of local Minnesota businesses with this – myself included. After all, a huge increase in cash like that doesn’t just appear magically. So, yes, I fully supported the investigation into the case, because we deserve answers.

But apparently the Office of Congressional Conduct felt that there was no wrongdoing. Last month, it noted that any misconduct charges against Omar were cleared. “From day one, we have been clear: the Congresswoman is not a millionaire.” This is in spite of the statistics that previously told us otherwise.

And the reason for the mistake? Get this. Her husband’s accountant reportedly listed gross business values for firms such as Rose Lake Capital without subtracting liabilities.

Does that sound like a legal excuse to someone else?

Apparently they were quick to cover up this “error” of theirs, filing a new report in April 2026 to show an actual household value between $18,000 and $95,000. That’s a stark difference from those previous numbers. Like, nearly night and day.

The Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5-1 to dismiss these allegations, stating that they believe she did not “knowingly” file false information. But I’m not so sure.

I think there should be some form of a secondary investigation to look more closely into Omar’s business dealings. And her husband as well. I have a hard time believing that a professional accountant would make such a blunder to report such inflated numbers as an “error.”

In case you missed it a while back, Omar was involved in another controversy during the COVID era. Back then, she had involvement with the MEALS Act, calling to ensure children would receive food during pandemic school closures. Sounds innocent enough, right? Only it was a scheme that ended up creating a $250 to $300 million fraud scheme for “Feeding Our Future.” I mean, kids?! Really? And we’ve seen three people already pleading guilty to this, though Omar, as usual, denied being involved.

“Any claim that I had knowledge of this scheme is flat-out false,” she stated earlier this year when asked about the program. “I have always championed feeding kids and will continue to ensure our children do not go hungry.”

Not to mention, with 9/11 coming around again this past week, her thoughts on “some people did something” still linger. “Some people”? No wonder that drew the backlash that came from it. It was one of the most harrowing events that took place in U.S. history, but she dismissed it like it was nothing.

“Something’s Going to Happen” – DHS Secretary: Ilhan Omar Did Indeed Marry Her Brother and Commit Immigration Fraud and Could Be Deported 

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told conservative media host Benny Johnson on Thursday night that Ilhan Omar did indeed marry her brother and could be deported.

Secretary Mullin confirmed that radical Somali immigrant Omar could be deported during their conversation on the floor of the the RNC National Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas.

Secretary Markwayne Mullin: “Something’s going to happen… We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States – possibly some illegal activity…”

“It’s not just this case, we’re looking at a number of cases similar to this where we’re looking at there may have been fraud from the get-go.”

Via Eric Daughterty:

The Gateway Pundit has been reporting on Ilhan’s alleged immigration fraud since 2019.

Do Americans know the story on how Ilhan Omar made it into the United States?  In July 2019 we reported on Omar’s father Nur Said. 

Here is what we reported:
David Steinberg published an extensive report on the alleged crimes and history of Rep. Ilhan Omar and the “Omar” family.

Ilhan Omar Tries to ‘Honor’ American Workers By Sharing a Goofy Photo of Herself Inside a Semi-Truck and It Blows Up in Her Face

Far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) got nuked in the social media comments after a pathetic attempt to pander to American workers on Labor Day.

In an effort to pretend to honor America’s workers, Omar shared a photo of herself inside a Teamsters Union semi-truck.

Considering how many foreign nationals have killed Americans while driving these vehicles, this was an interesting decision on her part.

“America is only as strong as the labor that builds it every day,” Omar wrote in the post accompanying the photo. “Happy Labor Day.”

Omar attempted to prevent a roasting by turning the comments off her post. But social media users still found a way to ensure she regretted posing for the image.

Crime family: Police raid home of Ilhan Omar’s son, seize guns, ammo, arrest roommate

Ilhan Omar, the Somali immigrant, Muslim member of Congress representing a Somali immigrant population in Minnesota, has had a share of troubles.

Her extremist agenda includes her claim to be representing Somalia in Congress.

There’s suspicion, confirmed by arrests and convictions, of massive social services program fraud, billions of dollars, in her district.

Experts have said legislation that she pushed through Congress helped that scheme.

Long she’s been suspected, although without proof, of marrying a brother to give him legal status in the U.S.

Her worth went from a negative value, to millions, then back to almost nothing, based on her own reporting.

Then there’s a potential federal immigration investigation into Omar.

Is ICE Investigating Ilhan Omar? Trump ‘Truths’ Report On Withheld Fraud-Probe Records

President Donald Trump drew fresh attention to a long-running controversy on Sunday when he reposted a Just the News article on Truth Social headlined “ICE refuses to disclose records on Ilhan Omar fraud probe, cites ongoing ‘enforcement proceedings.'” His decision to amplify the report, without comment, renewed scrutiny of allegations that have dogged Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for years – though ICE’s response stops short of confirming she is personally the target of any active proceeding.

The Trump administration has said for months it possesses evidence that Omar committed immigration fraud. What has remained unclear is whether that evidence translates into an indictment, a denaturalization proceeding, or nothing at all.

Just the News filed a Freedom of Information Act request in January 2026 for records related to Omar’s marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a man whose identity, evidence suggests, is that of her brother. ICE’s response cited a specific legal exemption rather than denying or providing a timeline. “ICE has determined that the information you requested is being withheld in full pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A),” the agency wrote. “Disclosure of any responsive records at this time could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.”

Department of Justice guidance requires a two-step showing before an agency can invoke it. “First, there must be a ‘reasonable likelihood’ of a pending or contemplated law enforcement proceeding,” the guidance states. “Second, release of the information must be reasonably expected to cause some articulable harm to that proceeding.” ICE cleared both hurdles by its own estimation; whether that estimation holds up matters more now that the president has amplified it himself.

BOMBSHELL: Trump Confirms ICE Enforcement Proceedings Underway Against Ilhan Omar Over Immigration Fraud

President Donald Trump on Sunday night appeared to confirm that federal immigration authorities have active or contemplated enforcement proceedings against radical “Squad” Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota over long-standing allegations of immigration fraud.

Trump shared a bombshell report from Just the News revealing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement refused to release records concerning its investigation into the Minnesota Democrat.

ICE claimed that disclosing the records could interfere with “enforcement proceedings.”

Trump posted the report to Truth Social Sunday evening without adding further commentary.

The explosive development concerns allegations that Omar entered into a fraudulent marriage with Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who is alleged to be her biological brother, to help him remain in the United States.

Omar has repeatedly denied the accusation.

ICE refuses to disclose records on Ilhan Omar fraud probe, cites ongoing ‘enforcement proceedings’

The federal government is refusing to turn over records related to an investigation conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement into allegations of immigration fraud by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., citing a legal exemption for ongoing investigations. 

Just the News filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the records in January, seeking the records pertaining to any investigations conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement into the allegations that Rep. Omar, who represents Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, married a relative in order to help him remain in the country. 

Omar has denied the allegations. No court records, DNA evidence, or other documentary proof has ever substantiated that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar’s legal husband from 2009–2017, was her biological brother.

“ICE has determined that the information you requested is being withheld in full pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A). Disclosure of any responsive records at this time could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings,” ICE told Just the News in response to the FOIA in May. 

The FOIA exemption cited by the agency “applies to records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes when their release could disrupt such proceedings,” the reply reads. 

You can read the letter below: 

Final Response 2026-ICFO-11295 3 (1).pdf

The Department of Justice guidelines for invoking exemption 7(A) say that doing so requires a two-step assessment. “First, there must be a ‘reasonable likelihood’ of a pending or contemplated law enforcement proceeding,” the guidance says. “Second, release of the information must be reasonably expected to cause some articulable harm to that proceeding.” 

Harm includes things such as exposing the case to witness tampering or tipping off suspects, according to the guidance. The exemption makes no distinction between criminal, civil, and administrative cases. 

Omar’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
