Ilhan Omar’s Shadowy Past Raises More Problems

WHAT’S HAPPENING

More has been revealed about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as federal investigators probe whether she and her late father committed immigration fraud when entering the United States.

Absolutely If she’s here under false pretenses then she needs to be held accountable

If evidence supports overturning a guilty verdict with capital punishment impending is right, so should denaturalization happen when sufficient evidence of immigration fraud exists. Investigate to the max.

It is absolutely fair for the administration to probe possible immigration fraud on anyone who is suspect. Dems want to go after people, sometimes for no good reason, but they cry foul if one of their own gets investigated - total hypocrisy on their part.

Based on many reports from both the Biden and Trump administrations, there may be some validity to the falsified claims made about her citizenship. And the fact that her father was a colonel in the Somali army (of the corrupt dictator), not an educator!

Yes it is fair and the accusations of the president just "going after his enemies" is a farce. They ALL hate him, so he'd be spread pretty thin. .

Yes! It needed to check on her background when things don’t add up. She is causing trouble with fraud and scamming. Her behavior was out of the question.

Absolutely fair game. Esp as the investigation began before this admin.
