VP Vance: Ilhan Omar investigated by DOJ over 'immigration fraud, family finances'
Vance said the department is weighing possible action as Omar denies wrongdoing and no charges have been announced.
- During a White House press conference on Tuesday, Vice President Vance previewed an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar for potential immigration fraud, with President Donald Trump placing Vance at the helm of the task force.
- Republican scrutiny of Omar involves questions regarding potential immigration fraud, including whether she defrauded the government by marrying her brother to gain residency, family finances, and connections to a COVID-era welfare fraud scheme.
- Vance criticized the President Joe Biden administration for allowing the asylum process to become "totally fraudulent," claiming claimants were released into the interior for 12 years before hearings occurred.
- Omar denied the allegations, telling the GOP to investigate "whatever you want" while slamming what she calls racist attacks on the Somali community; Trump has repeatedly called for Omar to be sent home.
- The task force intends to prosecute those who exploited asylum loopholes if criminal activity is confirmed. Vance stated, "It certainly seems like something fishy is there," but emphasized everyone is entitled to equal justice under the law.
