What I'm Reading: Ilhan Omar and No One is Above the Law

By Rich Kozlovich

I said once Trump took office and his Justice Department started investigating the corruption promulgated by Democrats, the Biden administration and Hillary's cabal, the words, "no one is above the law" would never be uttered by another Democrat for the next four years, and possibly more depending on who's elected in 2028.  

However, now its the Republican's turn, and the Democrats who chanted unendingly that “No One Is Above The Law” are outraged ....outraged I tell you!   How dare the DOJ come after a Democrat.   As you review their outrageous claims it reinforces the fact they accuse others of doing the very things they embrace and have done in the past or are doing right now.  Its called projection.  Its a primary tool of the criminal mind.  And now the one thing that almost never happens is happening now, Omar got raided by the cops, and look at who's defending her.

1.  House Democrat Leadership Defends Ilhan Omar After Raid: ‘Deeply Disturbing’ that Trump’s ‘Violent Mass Deportation Machine’ Raided Her Home - House Democrats defended Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) conducted a pre-dawn raid of her home.....
2.  Hakeem Jeffries’ Attempt to Defend Ilhan Omar Implodes When His Own Words Get Used Against Him - Hakeem Jefferies really had it coming — and he got it.  The House minority leader has apparently gotten so used to the double standard Democratic politicians enjoy from the establishment media that he’s forgotten any other standards exist.  But when the New York Democrat issued a statement Monday supporting Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar in the face of a raid on her Washington home by federal agents, he got some brutal reminders that the rest of the country has a better memory.......
3. The Media Had a Total Meltdown Over the Ilhan Omar Raid - On Monday, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) home was raided by federal agents. It has to do with her immigration status. Some documents are reportedly out of whack, and the timeline matters because it played a role in her naturalization process. It must be significant since a judge picked by D.C. Democrats signed off on the warrants. And raiding the home of a sitting member of Congress is a high bar, with most judges not wanting such legal tangles coming across their desks...... 
4. Unindicted Terror Co-Conspirator Groups “Stands in Solidarity” With Ilhan Omar - After decades of wildly flouting every kind of law and regulation, the law may finally be coming down on Rep. Ilhan Omar. And the Somali Islamist’s core base is standing with her. By that I mean the mainstream media and unindicted terror funding co-conspirators.
5.  Bill Kristol Urges ‘All Good Men’ to Defend Ilhan Omar - Americans should rise up in defense of Somali immigrant Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after federal officials searched her house, says Bill Kristol, the former neoconservative and current NeverTrump leader............. 

Her defenders are radical far left Democrats, the Pravda media, a terrorist organization and worst of all, a faux conservative commentator who has lost his way and is now in the same camp as radical leftists and terrorists.  

So, is this just a political stunt, or is it as leftists are prone to say when caught up in corruption, "move on there's nothing to see here"?  Well, given her family's shady history there may well be a lot to investigate, as Glen Beck claims you don’t take her on unless you have it, and in spite of her claim of innocence saying she's being targeted because she's one of Trump's politics enemies and she's the real victim here, this investigation wasn't like the corrupt investigations by the Biden DOJ or a clever political scheme that just now popped up in some bureaucrats head.  According to Tom Homan this has been an ongoing investigation over some time, and there's a lot of smoke.  If there's a lot of smoke, there must be a fire, indicating something is seriously amiss.  

Daniel Greenfield writes there’s almost too many things to investigate Rep. Ilhan Omar for saying this was a long overdue investigation involving immigration and the amassing of a multimillion dollar fortune almost overnight.

1.  Flashback: Ilhan Omar’s Sister Incorporated Her $20 Million USAID-Linked Consulting Firm to EXACT ADDRESS as “Feeding Our Future” Somali Scammer’s Address

As this story grows even the Pravda media is backing off, admitting it's likely the DOJ has evidence of criminal fraud.  Here was Eric Utter's take on this investigation and the raid on Omar's home:

A message to the dumbocrat socialists of America, Omar should be deported. There was a signed warrant from a judge, consistent with an ongoing investigation, in this case a legitimate one, into various aspects of alleged fraud. But for far-left Democrat punks' information, the Democrats actually did raid President Trump's home, on trumped up charges. And, apparently, rifled through Melania's lingerie drawer. 

I doubt these HSI folks rifled through Ilhan's lingerie drawer -- and if they did -- I hope they were wearing hazmat suits. Moreover, President Trump did not come to this country illegally, under false pretenses. Nor did he marry a sibling. He has not been pictured with half a dozen folks involved in the most massive fraud scandal in a state's history, ala Ilhan Omar.

 He did not claim to have allegiance to Somalia and wish he could return there.   Contrast that record with the Democrat thugocracy that has lied, cheated, hoaxed, gaslit, and projected in an uninterrupted and insane attempt to depose Trump, a duly elected president twice over (remember, this is a “democracy”), every day for the last decade.

The question is can she be found guilty in today's vile system of justice that allows the worst of the worst to be found innocent of the vilest crimes and set free, or will World War Eleven Omar end up in jail, deported or both?   

Update, 10/14/26: 

1. Ilhan’s staff scrambles to change her official birthdate. - Rep. Ilhan Omar’s staff helped get her birthdate changed in public records once the Minnesota Democrat was elected to Congress in 2018, a switch that has since spurred frenzied accusations that she misrepresented her age to secure US citizenship. The alteration could offer a big clue as to what federal immigration agents were searching for when they raided her DC home Monday: If the congresswoman is actually one year older than she’s claimed to be, that would mean she couldn’t have legally become a US citizen in 2000, critics contend............
2. Nancy Mace is 100% correct about Ilhan. - All those who celebrated the raid of Mar-a-Lago don’t get to cry over the raid at Ilhan Omar’s home. Trump‘s political enemy raided his home. Democrats set the precedent.....
3. Ilhan Omar’s Father Served as a Loyal Colonel for Somalia’s Brutal Dictator and Misrepresented Himself as a “Refugee”- Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations raided Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home early Monday as part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation. Sources told Fox News the probe centers on immigration paperwork filled out by her late father when she was a child. Omar called it political intimidation. The timing is ugly for her preferred story. For years she has sold America the clean version. Her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, was an educator. The family fled Somalia’s civil war with the rest of the refugees and arrived in 1995. Her 2020 memoir paints the same picture of ordinary people escaping chaos. An exclusive in the New York Post now says that version is false........
4. Ilhan Omar’s Staff Got Her Birthdate Changed Officially AFTER Being Elected to Congress -  Rep. Ilhan Omar’s staff helped get her birthdate changed in public records once the Minnesota Democrat was elected to Congress in 2018, a switch that has since spurred frenzied accusations that she misrepresented her age to secure US citizenship..........Conspiracy’ to Cover-Up Ilhan Omar’s Immigration Status Comes Up Throughout the Warrant.
5.  Not Just Immigration: Pirro Opens Probe Into Ilhan Omar’s Financial Disclosures One Day After Raid - Fox News reported that Pirro told “America Reports” her team is examining the filings that showed businesses tied to Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, leaping from a combined high of roughly $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024. The California winery eStCru LLC jumped from the $15,000–$50,000 range to $1–5 million. Rose Lake Capital LLC, the Washington venture firm, went from $1–$1,000 to $5–25 million.

Update, 10/15/26/:

1. Liberal Lawyer Obliterates the Dem Narrative That the Omar Immigration Probe Is Political- Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is in serious trouble. A judge signed off on a search warrant for her D.C. home as part of the ongoing investigation into her immigration status, which is looking fugazi: her staff falsified her date of birth, and her father lied about his refugee status — no judge signs these warrants unless the evidence is damning.   The initial liberal talking points came out strong but quickly died when we learned that the judge is a Democrat and was selected by D.C. Democrats. So, if this police action is politically motivated and fascist, it’s a bipartisan one. Also, as Jonathan Turley, a liberal law professor at George Washington Law School, pointed out, this probe into Omar’s immigration status started under Joe Biden:.......
2. Raid on Ilhan Omar's Home Spurs Renewed Effort by Dems to Abolish ICE - House Democrats are launching a renewed campaign to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) Washington, DC, home was raided this week by federal agents as part of a probe into whether or not the Somali-born congresswoman committed immigration fraud......
3. CNN Just Wrecked the Dems' Ilhan Omar Defense - The Ilhan Omar immigration story and the raid on her D.C. home didn't make the cut for some of the major networks Monday night, and we know why: there’s nothing they can use against the Trump White House. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is in serious trouble: her staff falsified her date of birth for naturalization purposes in 2018, and her father wasn’t actually a refugee.......

Update, 10/16/26:

1. CNN’s Jake Tapper Admits Ilhan Omar Should Have Turned Herself in to Biden DOJ, Legal Analyst Says Biden-Era Investigation “Undermines” Claims of Political Motivation - Tapper then suggested that Omar should have turned herself in long ago, when the Biden Administration opened an investigation into her, in order to receive a slap on the wrist.........“It’s an important point of all this: There was some investigation… that was started under the Biden administration, reopened under the Trump administration,”.......
2. 'Ilhan Omar hates America': Report claims investigation aims to denaturalize, deport lawmaker - A report is charging that the federal government's investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somali native representing a Somali immigrant-dominated district in Minnesota, has as its goal to denaturalize and deport her. WND has reported that the Department of Justice has gone to court to revoke the citizenship of about 40 "Americans" over just the last six weeks, as authorities race toward their goal of filing 250 such cases by the end of the month.  The surge more than doubles the number of such cases that have been filed since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025.....
3. Biden Admin Shut Down Investigation Into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Immigration Fraud - The corruption is even worse than we thought.   Here’s one in the Wall Street Journal’s story on the investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s alleged immigration fraud. Officials at Homeland Security Investigations looked into a similar tip under the Biden administration, according to people familiar with those efforts, but they decided not to move forward because they lacked evidence of fraud.  Uh-huh. Same administration that decided to aggressively pursue Trump and even track everyone who had bought a red cap........
4.  Clues - Steve Hayward’s friend David Deeble turned President Trump into Columbo and me into a clue in the curious case of Ilhan Omar. Just one more thing......."One more thing... If Ilhan Omar didn't marry her own brother then why doesn't she sue Scot Johnson for libel?".......

 Update, 10/17/26:

1. Things get tougher for Omar - Omar can’t hide behind the statute of limitations. Homeland Defense Secretary Markwayne Mullin has spoken out on a topic that has been making the rounds on social media in recent days: whether or not the statute of limitations has run on Ilhan Omar’s various offenses.   It’s a legit question on the face of it.  Omar became a “citizen,” I believe the technical term is, in 2000. So a quarter-century has elapsed, and the statute of limitations for false swearing, which I think covers it, is only five years. But it seems to me that a representative, like any other government official, repeats the claim of citizenship every time they’re sworn into office, which would effectively turn the clock back to zero. But Mullin has pretty clearly laid any such fears to rest. Along with promising that Omar will face a grand jury, he also points out that
2. Missing Ilhan’s missing defense - More dogs not barking. The Congresswoman from Minnesota hasn’t been seen in public since her DC-area home was raided by the feds back on Monday (Columbus Day). Her legal defense has also been mostly missing in action........So, Ilhan’s lawyers have seen the search warrant. At least so far, they are only challenging.......[Omar defender at the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Rochelle Olson, says].....Trump just upped his targeting of Ilhan Omar. Now let’s see the warrant.  Olson hasn’t seen the warrant, but you know who has? Omar and her lawyers.  They aren’t, so far, demanding it be unsealed........
3. Former CIA Advisor: “The Omar Raid Is Just the Beginning” - On October 12th, federal agents raided the Washington, D.C. home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. They came with a warrant signed by a judge. And according to Fox News, they walked out with her cellphone. But here’s what I find fascinating… The Justice Department has long followed an unwritten rule:  No big moves against a candidate in the last 60 days before an election........He says Omar won’t be the last........ 
4. BOMBSHELL: Federal Agents Went DUMPSTER DIVING to Get DNA from Ilhan Omar and Her Family Prior to Raid – Investigation Extends FAR Beyond Immigration Fraud – Likely Coming Indictments Will Be “Stunning” - Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and members of her family may be completely cooked as more shocking details have come to light following Monday’s raid on her DC home. On Friday night, NewsNation’s Leland Vittert dropped an equally big bombshell. He revealed that federal agents earlier this week literally went dumpster diving to collect DNA from Omar and her family members........

Update, 10/19/26:

1. Obama's Comments on the Ilhan Omar Situation Are Absolutely Insane - "It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say," Obama said on social media. "But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota."  Seemingly lost on Obama when he released that statement was the litany of activities his administration took to target conservatives and the Trump campaign when he was in power..........Liberal commentators are sure to dismiss the hypocrisy as (D)ifferent....... 

Update, 10/20/26:

1. Is Ilhan Omar a Muslim of convenience? - Yes, and she is also an American of convenience.........Omar is clearly a Muslim of convenience. She plays to the Muslim crowd—which is her power base—by practicing adherence to Islamic principles when needed but dismissing them when it is inconvenient for her to do so in conducting her private life.  She is also an American of convenience. Despite the mandate to represent all residents within her district equally, in 2024 she proclaimed to her Somali base that her “top priority is to put Somalia first and expand its territory.” She later claimed her comment, which was conveyed in Somali, was misinterpreted; however, the Somali community got the tone of her message. ............
2.  Ex-Congressional Candidate AJ Kern Claims She Holds DHS “Certificate of Non-Existence of Record” Showing NO Naturalization Records for Ilhan Omar’s Father Ever Becoming a U.S. Citizen - Former Minnesota congressional candidate AJ Kern says she possesses a Certificate of Non-Existence of Record from the Department of Homeland Security confirming that federal databases contain no naturalization records for Rep. Ilhan Omar’s late father, Nur Omar Mohamed (also referenced with variants such as Nur Said Elmi Mohamed).......

Update,10/23/26: My Take - One thing is clear.  We need to thank this woman.... whatever her real name is.  Why?  Because none of this would have come out if she hadn't been such an obnoxious loudmouth, and I think this investigation is going to trigger a "deep dive" into all these Somali fraud issues, and deportation may be the least of her concerns.  RK

1.  Bombshell Report Alleges that Ilhan Omar Not Real Name - A bombshell report from Fox News Digital alleges that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) real name is not “Ilhan Omar,” but rather “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” the name federal officials used to refer to the Somali-born congresswoman in a recent court filing.......“So it’s not looking good because she used a fake name to be sworn in,” Trump told the crowd in Sioux City, Iowa. “I assume she must immediately have to resign from Congress.”.......
2. ‘The Question Is, Who Is Ilhan Omar?’ - During an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro discussed the investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) about her immigration status and the possibility of “public corrution.”........ Watters asked, “Just to confirm, Ilhan Omar is living and working in Congress under an alias?”....
3. The New York Post Got a Hold of a Document That Further Proves Ilhan Omar Isn't Who She Says She Is - The New York Post has obtained and published what is reportedly an official copy of Ilhan Omar's sister's marriage certificate. Omar's home was raided by federal authorities earlier this week as part of an investigation into alleged immigration fraud (and possibly other things).....

Update, 10/24/26: 

1. The Amount of Evidence Against Ilhan Omar Could Scale Everest. Here's the List. - Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), or whatever her name is — it’s not that on the search warrant — is going to ground. She’s reportedly fleeing D.C. after federal agents searched her home as part of an ongoing immigration fraud investigation that began under Joe Biden. DNA evidence has been obtained, and her passport, computer, and phone were taken as well. All roads point to Omar marrying her brother as part of the scheme. .....Yet, let’s give credit where it’s due. Scott Johnson, Preya Samsundar, and David Steinberg have written some 25 articles about Omar’s lengthy rap sheet of illegal misconduct between 2016 and 2020. Enjoy:......

Update, 10/25/26: 

1. Dems Shower Millions on Omar After Learning She May Be Illegal Alien in Homosexual Brother Marriage -  After federal government filings and news stories revealed allegations that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s real name is actually Rep. Ilhan Nur Said Elmi and that she may have committed immigration fraud using a fake name and may have fake married her gay brother, Democrat donors became more excited than ever at how relatable she’s become. Rep. Elmi/Omar has reportedly raised over $1.5 million since the raid as Dem donors now feel even closer to her knowing that she may be an illegal alien in an incestuous gay brother marriage.  It’s so profitable that it seems like more candidates should also use fake names and marry their gay brothers........

1. Transgender Rep. Sarah McBride: Ilhan Omar Probe Based on ‘Bullsh*t Claims that Have Already Been Disproven’ -  Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) — a man who pretends to be a woman — accused the Trump administration of trying to revoke Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) citizenship based on “bullshit claims that have already been disproven.” .....
2. Rep. Ilhan Omar Memoir Shows She Lied About Her Birthday and Committed Immigration Fraud By Daniel Greenfield • October 27, 2026 Forget Voter ID. We need citizenship IDs for members of Congress.  The really striking thing about Rep. Ilhan Omar/Elmi is just how sloppy she is. And this by the way is something that we tend to see with Somali frauds in general. There’s a kind of chutzpah, an assertiveness and boldness, accompanied by minimal effort at plausibility......
3. Breakdown: Evidence Mounts Against ‘Ilhan Omar’ - On “The Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about Ilhan Omar.   Marlow said, “Ilhan Omar, or is that her real name?  Might not be her real name because we are learning now that she had perhaps gone by other, different names.”....

Update, 10/28/26:

1. Ilhan Omar’s family history make her genocide allegations against Israel even more outrageous - Rep. Ilhan Omar’s apparent lies about her family and finances are bad enough, but nothing is as outrageous as the way she slanders Israel with the “genocide” libel when her own father in all likelihood took part in Somali dictator Siad Barre’s real genocide. Omar in her memoir calls her father Nur Omar Mohamed an “educator,” yet it looks like the only educating he did was teaching Barre’s enemies lessons in brutality as a colonel in the Somali Army in the 1980s..........
2. Ilhan Omar Finds the Most Outrageous and Offensive Possible Way to Brazen It Out - Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) is a premier member of the leftist establishment, and so she is unlikely to suffer any serious penalties for her misdeeds, but the evidence for those misdeeds is piling ever higher. Omar has not handled this very well, responding “Not to my knowledge” when asked if she actually married her brother in order to commit immigration fraud and playing her torn and frayed “racism” and “Islamophobia” cards against other allegations, and now she has gone even farther in her efforts to project a serene and untroubled business-as-usual front. This time, however, her gambit could easily backfire.......
3. NYT: Investigating Omar Is ‘Authoritarian,’ But Prosecuting Trump Is ‘Accountability’ - The New York Times’ editorial board has found a dangerous, “authoritarian” threat to the republic: investigating a politician. Readers may remember a different approach The Times’ editorial board took when the politician was Donald Trump. “Trump Is Turning to an Old Tool of Authoritarian Repression,” headlined an editorial board op-ed Friday, warning in the article’s opening line that “[t]he revocation of a political opponent’s citizenship has long been a tool of authoritarian repression.”.......

Update, 11/3/26:

1.  Campaign to Silence Ilhan Omar Critics Relies on Death Threats, Assaults, and Community Fear - Members of Minnesota’s Somali community who know something about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s past are learning the hard way that speaking up can get you jumped, threatened with a coma, or told outright that you are going to be killed. A New York Post investigation published this morning details a fiercely protective network that bombards critics with online threats and physical harm in the United States, Europe, and Africa.  The group is not officially tied to Omar’s office, and it is unclear whether she directs them. What is clear is the effect. Almost no one inside the community will talk on the record. ............
