Federal authorities investigating Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar seized the Democratic lawmaker’s phone and have issued more than a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including to some of her relatives, according to a person briefed on the probe.
The subpoenas were issued for a grand jury collecting evidence in Minnesota as federal authorities probe potential fraud in Omar’s immigration paperwork, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation. The investigation led to federal agents searching Omar’s Washington, D.C. home on Monday just weeks before the November midterms, in which Omar is seeking reelection.
The scope of the investigation into Omar is unclear, though Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has suggested that authorities were examining potential crimes related to her family’s immigration paperwork.
The timing here seems enough to say, tell me this is a political prosecution without telling me this is a political prosecution.
So, since America is totally fine with a pedophile crime boss at the helm, I’d expect not a damn one of them to stand in the way of this gelatinous disaster in human flesh’s attempt to essentially ship her off to [REDACTED] never to be seen or heard from again.
Everyday is the stupidest day in America until tomorrow.
You just know that she’s guilty of <random crime>, because her skin color isn’t white and her name is Ilhan.
They raid a home over paperwork? Which is probably bullshit as well. I’m sure the paperwork is fine but even if there was some error how is she an imminent threat to society? This is all to distract from the shitty economic recession Republicans have begun.
I’m sure the paperwork isn’t fine. That shit is almost designed to make it easy to fail
There’s probably a single “t” that’s not crossed somewhere
it’s not a distraction. it’s a show of force. things are ramping up.
It’s green card and citizenship applications from decades ago. They’re attacking the paperwork because they want to reverse her naturalization, strip her of citizenship, and deport her.
That would be quite some red meat for the supremacist wing of the party.
If they do, the next person heading up immigration needs to take a second look at Melania’s visa application…
Or Elon’s
I suspect Trump would be fine with this, I mean she didn’t even sleep with him. I’m convinced his problem with chain migration is that’s how his in-laws got here.
Paperwork from when she was 12…
You keep reminding yourself it’s bullshit, then asking logical questions.
I think it is all an attempt to find SOMETHING she did wrong that can be used to discredit her. And their bar is low…
Think about the reason Trump used to fire Lisa Cook from the federal reserve. Something about her primary residence claim on a mortgage loan. All he needs is a little bit of shit and a wall.
@danc4498@lemmy.world Not just bullshit—bullying.
My people were here before tRumps. I would like him to be deported.
