Why It Matters
The US Department of Homeland Security is conducting a review of Ilhan Omar's immigration background, including the possibility of a possible fictitious marriage with her brother to legalize his entry into the country.
WASHINGTON, October 13 – RIA Novosti. US President Donald Trump said that he was in no way involved in the searches of the Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, whom he criticized.
The US Department of Homeland Security raided Congresswoman Omar's home earlier on Monday. According to Fox News, he was involved in the case of falsification of the politician's immigration documents by her father when she was still a child. Omar is of Somali origin. Omar’s office stated that she had done nothing wrong, and called the search itself senseless.
“I have nothing to do with this,” Trump told reporters at the White House, commenting on the searches.
DHS chief Markwayne Mullin said in September that authorities were looking into how Omar immigrated to the United States, as well as the theory that she allegedly married her brother to help him enter America. The congresswoman herself denied this.
