White House border czar Tom Homan confirmed on Sunday, 13 September, that the US Department of Homeland Security is conducting an investigation involving Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar. The inquiry follows allegations by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin that Omar married a man he identified as her brother to help him enter the United States.
The inquiry has been described as an 'ongoing criminal investigation.' Homan did not disclose evidence, charges or specific investigative findings publicly, and declined to say whether authorities had evidence of immigration or naturalisation fraud. He said, however, that 'things are going on.'
