White House border czar Tom Homan says Rep. Ilhan Omar could face the loss of her American citizenship as federal investigators examine allegations of immigration fraud involving the Minnesota Democrat and her family.

Speaking to Fox News, Homan said there is a “very real possibility” that Omar could be denaturalized if investigators establish that she obtained citizenship through fraudulent statements.

The remarks come less than a week after federal agents conducted an early-morning search of Omar’s Washington, D.C., residence as part of an expanding investigation into her immigration history.

Homan said investigators were examining allegations that Omar and her father provided false information about her birth year when the family entered the United States from Somalia in the 1990s.

The border czar expressed confidence in the investigation, describing the government’s case as strong, although federal authorities have not publicly disclosed the evidence underlying the allegations.

Homan emphasized that American citizenship obtained through fraud can be revoked through an established legal process.

“We’ve done it before,” he said, describing denaturalization as a lengthy and complicated procedure.

Investigators are examining whether Omar or members of her family made false statements when entering the United States as refugees or during the naturalization process.

A sealed search warrant reportedly identified potential offenses involving conspiracy, immigration fraud, and false statements on government documents.

Reuters reported that one possible objective of the investigation is to revoke Omar’s citizenship and ultimately deport her.

Omar, who was born in Somalia, arrived in the United States in 1995 after her family fled the country’s civil war. She became a naturalized American citizen in 2000 and has represented Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District since 2019.

Federal agents reportedly seized Omar’s cellphone during the search, while prosecutors issued more than a dozen subpoenas, including to members of her family.

Omar has vehemently denied wrongdoing, accusing President Donald Trump of using federal law enforcement to target political opponents.

She described the raid as an act of “political intimidation” and maintained that the allegations concerning her immigration history are baseless.

Her attorneys have demanded the return of property seized during the search, challenging the legality of the investigation.

The timing of the raid, just weeks before the November midterm elections, has also prompted criticism from Democrats and former Justice Department officials, who questioned whether the action conflicted with longstanding guidelines discouraging politically sensitive investigative steps immediately before an election.

Justice Department officials have defended the search, saying it was authorized by a federal judge and conducted in accordance with applicable procedures.

Under federal law, naturalized citizenship can be revoked if a court determines that it was obtained illegally or through the deliberate concealment or misrepresentation of material facts. Such proceedings require judicial review, and the existence of an investigation does not establish that fraud occurred.

The Trump administration has significantly expanded its pursuit of denaturalization cases, with Reuters reporting that the Justice Department has filed at least 164 such cases during Trump’s second term.

No charges or denaturalization proceedings against Omar have been publicly announced.
