Tom Homan: You Better Believe We're Investigating Ilhan Omar for Immigration Fraud

She is here illegally. Deport her.

Tom Homan, President Donald Trump's border czar, said during a Newsmax appearance on Monday that the administration is investigating Representative Ilhan Omar for alleged immigration fraud.

"I just got advised by a fraud investigator the other day on that. I asked the question, can we review the files? You know, there was immigration fraud involved," Homan said on Newsmax. "The statute of limitation became an issue in the last four years when this was first brought up."

He continued, "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'd review the file. So, I'm running that down this week as a matter of fact, and we'll see."

Ilhan "Omar" Nur committed immigration fraud twice.

The second time was when she married her own brother -- while already married to her real husband -- to get her gay brother permanent residence in the US.

The first time was when she first came over. The patriarch of the Omar family had refugee status for his family. But Ilhan was not his daughter -- she is the daughter of a man named Nur, who she repeatedly called her "father" before people noticed her calling this man Nur "father" instead of her supposed father Omar. (She would later claim that it's a custom in her particular village in Somalia to call people who aren't your father "father" out of respect. No one else has ever heard of this "custom.")

She pretended to be part of the Omar family when she came over. But she wasn't. She's part of the Nur family, and never had legal permission to come.
