Tom Homan, the White House border czar, spoke on Fox News about a federal investigation involving Rep. Ilhan Omar. He joined The Big Weekend Show shortly after agents carried out a search at the Minnesota congresswoman’s Washington, D.C., residence. The conversation focused on long-standing questions surrounding the citizenship process for Omar and her family after they left Somalia. Homan indicated that investigators believe they have a solid case, though he stopped short of releasing additional details during the broadcast. He stressed that any person found to have broken the law would face consequences under the same rules that apply to everyone else. The review, he noted, centers on information provided years earlier as part of the naturalization process. Tomi Lahren, a co-host of the program, followed up by asking whether confirmed immigration fraud could result in denaturalization followed by deportation. Homan responded without hesitation. Officials review 1995 entry and statements made during citizenship process The probe looks at allegations that Omar and her father listed an inaccurate birth year on documents filed when the family came to the United States. Nur Omar Mohamed arrived with his daughter and other relatives in 1995 after time spent in a Kenyan refugee camp, according to accounts shared with reporters. Investigators have also examined the late father’s role in those filings. Omar has rejected the claims and said she did nothing wrong. During the Fox segment, Homan explained that providing false information in the naturalization process can open the door to revocation of citizenship. “Of course,” he answered when asked if that path could include denaturalization and removal if fraud is established. He described the procedure as slow and detailed but noted that it has been used successfully in earlier cases. “If you lie during the naturalization process, there is a process to denaturalize somebody. We’ve done it before, it’s a long, tedious process, but it’s been done before. I’ve been involved with those investigations before, and certainly, if the evidence points that way, that could happen.” I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.I will not be…— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) October 12, 2026 Homan added that Omar would receive equal treatment. “She’ll be held to the same standards you and I are held: if she violated the law, then she should be held accountable,” he told the hosts. Homan is not the only official to raise the issue, as Mullin also warned Omar could be deported. After agents searched her home, Omar posted on X and called the action an attempt by President Donald Trump to go after political opponents through federal agencies. “For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation,” she stated. “I will not be silenced.” The Wall Street Journal published details of the multi-agency effort three days before Homan’s appearance. The report said the inquiry examines both the congresswoman’s path to citizenship and actions taken by her deceased father decades earlier. Mediaite points out that public exchanges between Trump and Omar have continued for years. In comments last year, Trump said he opposed bringing in more Somalis in the manner of Omar. “They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you,” he said. “Some will say that is not ‘politically correct.’ I don’t care. Their country is no good for a reason.”
