BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that the reason this 2x previously deported illegal alien was released into the country after his third illegal crossing in 2019 is because he claimed to be transgender and claimed fear of being killed in his home country on his asylum application, which was approved in early 2020. DHS has provided that section from his application 👇🏻

DHS alleges that this was a blatant case of asylum fraud and the “gaming of a weak asylum system.”

This detail first scooped by @JennieSTaer.

Jonathan Turley Rejects Hasan Piker's Defense of Ilhan Omar Federal Immigration Investigation

Constitutional attorney Jonathan Turley joined Fox News Channel's "The Story" to address online political commentator Hasan Piker's characterization of the federal investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar. Piker recently dismissed the federal probe targeting the Minnesota congresswoman's immigration background, marital history, and financial filings as a minor paperwork violation.

Turley strongly rejected that interpretation, stating that the criminal code is largely comprised of paperwork violations, including serious offenses like tax evasion, bank fraud, and extortion. He emphasized that the allegations constitute serious immigration fraud. Legal experts note that if Omar's citizenship application relied on a false age to piggyback off her father's naturalization application as a minor, the federal government could seek to revoke her citizenship entirely rather than allowing a simple administrative correction.

The ongoing investigation has brought additional scrutiny to several facets of Omar's past, including her late father's potential role as a colonel in an abusive Somali regime and unverified allegations concerning her previous marriage. Turley criticized mainstream media outlets for failing to press the lawmaker on specific inconsistencies, such as deleted social media posts, alleged staff directives to alter birth dates on official documents, and her ambiguous responses regarding her familial relationships.

🚨 UPDATE: Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar Elmi is acting SMUG when confronted with her immigration fraud and federal investigation after Dems won the midterms

Except the DOJ investigation is FULL STEAM AHEAD

TURLEY: "[Dems in power] DOESN'T take out the Department of Justice...the Obama admin thought there might be evidence of FRAUD by her. The Biden administration investigated it. Both of those investigations ended up being suddenly stopped. But there is growing evidence here and she's doing very little to address those questions!"

She should not be allowed to be seated in Congress come January.

Not only is it a FAKE NAME but she committed fraud just to get here!

I hope the case is building fast enough to get her OUT of Congress ASAP.
