White House border czar Tom Homan confirmed on Fox News' "The Sunday Briefing" that federal authorities are conducting an "ongoing criminal investigation" involving Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, though he declined to disclose specifics. The confirmation adds official weight to long-running allegations, previously dismissed by Omar as politically motivated, and comes amid a wider pattern of senior Trump administration figures publicly raising the matter.

Homan would not say whether evidence exists of immigration or naturalisation fraud, but said Homeland Security Investigations was continuing its work and that "no one's above the law." His remarks follow comments from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who alleged Omar married her brother to bring him to the US and that he now lives in London, and echo earlier claims by Vice President JD Vance that the Justice Department was examining possible immigration fraud by Omar. Homan also noted that denaturalisation is possible in proven fraud cases, a process he called "very serious" but one that has been used "many times" in the past 40 years. Omar has repeatedly denied the allegations, calling them "bigoted lies," and her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
