Randy Fine vows to pursue Ilhan Omar expulsion after DOJ inquiry
Fox News • • general
Key Points:
- Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., announced plans to pursue expulsion of Rep. Ilhan Omar if the Justice Department finds her guilty of immigration fraud, citing concerns over her citizenship status.
- Omar, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Somalia, denies any wrongdoing and calls the investigation politically motivated; the court filing raised questions about her identity but did not prove fraud.
- Expelling a member of Congress requires a two-thirds vote, and a criminal investigation alone does not automatically remove a member from office.
- Fine also criticized Democrats for opposing border enforcement and highlighted related legislation aimed at dismantling immigration agencies, accusing them of supporting an anti-American agenda.
- Federal authorities have conducted searches and issued subpoenas related to Omar’s immigration and financial records amid ongoing investigations; Omar’s office has not commented.
