Trump administration Border Czar Tom Homan said in an interview Monday night on Newsmax that he was had asked for the immigration records of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to be pulled for his review over allegations the Somali refugee married her brother to help gain residency in the United States.
President Donald Trump brought up the allegation against Omar while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office last week.
Omar appeared CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday but was not asked about the allegation of immigration fraud.
Homan spoke to Newsmax host Rob Schmitt, who asked about Trump’s comments and if there was an investigation into Omar:
Schmitt: (President Trump) Calls that a fraud It’s a story that that has never been successfully refuted, even though it’s now a five year old story. That’s clearly a deportable offense. Is there an investigation into that?
Homan: You know, I just got advised by fraud investigator the other day on that. I asked the question, who reviewed the file and says, you know, there was immigration fraud involved. The statute of limitation became an issue in the last four years when this was first brought up, who was president, who ran DOJ?
So pulling the records, now pulling the files and we’re looking at it. But this fraud investigator who I know personally, one of the best fraud investigators in HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, said there’s no doubt he reviewed the file. So I’m running that down this week, as a matter of fact. And we’ll see.”
Homan’s willingness to speak about investigating Omar is a change from his comments to Laura Loomer last June:
Ilhan Omar married her brother and committed immigration fraud in our country. Last night on @LoomerUnleashed, I asked Border Czar and former ICE Director Tom Homan @RealTomHoman if Omar is under investigation for marrying her brother.

The Daily Mail reported on the allegations against Omar in an article last updated on March 10, 2020 (excerpt):
‘Squad’ congresswoman Ilhan Omar told friends years ago that the man who went on to become her second husband was in fact her brother, DailyMail.com can confirm.
And now for the first time one of those friends has come forward to reveal exactly how Omar and Ahmed Elmi scandalized the Somali community in Minneapolis.
Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi.
But hardly anyone realized that meant marrying him.
‘No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the marriage certificate years later,’ Osman, 40, exclusively told DailyMail.com.
