Former ICE Director and current U.S. immigration official Tom Homan confirmed this week that the Department of Homeland Security is actively reviewing Rep. Ilhan Omar’s immigration records following longstanding allegations of potential fraud—including claims she may have entered into a marriage with her brother to facilitate his entry into the United States.

“We’re pulling the records! I’m running it down this week!” Homan told reporters, emphasizing that DHS is treating the matter with urgency and full investigative authority. His comments, captured in a Newsmax interview, represent the most direct acknowledgement to date that federal officials are scrutinizing Omar’s decades-old immigration history.

The allegations, while unproven, have persisted for years and resurfaced repeatedly due to inconsistencies in public records, shifting biographical explanations, and gaps in documented timelines surrounding Omar’s early years in the United States. Critics have long pressed for a comprehensive federal review, arguing that even the appearance of impropriety warrants investigation when it involves a sitting member of Congress.

According to individuals familiar with DHS procedures, the review could involve examining visa documents, family reunification filings, marriage records, and prior sworn statements made during the naturalization process. While the agency has not commented on specific documents under examination, Homan’s remarks confirm that records are in active retrieval and assessment.

For the Biden–Trump era enforcement environment—where immigration integrity and fraud detection remain central political issues—DHS’s willingness to probe a high-profile elected official signals a renewed focus on accountability regardless of political sensitivity.

Rep. Omar has repeatedly denied the allegations. However, Homan’s statement marks the first time federal officials have publicly signaled that a formal records investigation is underway.

DHS has not yet indicated when its review will conclude or whether findings will be referred to the Department of Justice for additional action. For now, the inquiry continues, and Homan says he expects developments soon.
