JD Vance says "definitely committed immigration fraud" regarding Ilhan Omar
“We actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud”
Reported October 12, 2026 by theguardian.com. Checked word for word against that report.
Federal agents searched Representative Ilhan Omar's Washington, DC, home on Monday under a court-approved warrant obtained by the Justice Department, part of a continuing investigation, according to the department and news reports. Fox News, citing unnamed sources, said agents were reviewing immigration paperwork her father completed when she was a child. President Trump and allies have accused Omar of immigration fraud and raised denaturalizing her; she has consistently denied the allegations, which are unsubstantiated. Vice-President JD Vance told a right-wing interviewer in March that he and others had concluded Omar committed immigration fraud and that he had spoken with top Trump aide Stephen Miller about possible responses. The search came three weeks before midterm elections, after months of officials hinting at a federal inquiry into Omar.
