Trump Faces Plot Twist In Ilhan Omar Warrant Fight As Old Foe Reemerges; And What Did Obama’s FBI Know?<\/span><\/p>\n

The same Obama-appointed judge that President Donald Trump once branded a “Radical Left Lunatic” and demanded be impeached is now tasked with deciding whether the public can see what federal agents were searching for when they raided Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home.<\/p>\n

Federal investigators are examining allegations involving Omar’s family immigration paperwork and discrepancies in her financial disclosures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The investigation includes questions about whether Omar’s father misstated her age in immigration paperwork filed in 2000, which could have allowed her to obtain citizenship through him while she was still a minor, the outlet also reported.<\/p>\n

The New York Times, conservative watchdog Judicial Watch, and 14 other news organizations are seeking to make the warrant public<\/strong>, arguing that Americans have a right to scrutinize the investigation into the Minnesota congresswoman.<\/p>\n

However, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is fighting to keep the documents sealed, warning that their release could jeopardize an ongoing federal investigation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“This request sounds rash because it is rash,”<\/strong> Pirro argued in a court filing.<\/p>\n

Boasberg is no stranger to confrontations with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

In March 2025, Boasberg temporarily blocked deportation flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gang members. Trump blasted Boasberg as a “Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator” and demanded his removal from the bench.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING! I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY,” Trump wrote<\/a> on Truth Social. “I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The battle even prompted Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to issue a rare public rebuke of Trump, declaring that impeachment was not an appropriate response to disagreements over judicial rulings.<\/p>\n

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,”<\/strong> Roberts said<\/a> at the time. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”<\/p>\n

What Did Obama’s FBI Know?<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, the The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security investigated Rep. Ilhan Omar’s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi during the Obama administration and found “some evidence that it was fraudulent,”<\/strong> the New York Times<\/a> reported Thursday, in a story that rests on current and former officials. Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, has denied the allegation, and no one has been charged.<\/p>\n

\n

The Times said the agencies looked into the marriage in the summer of 2016 on suspicion that it was arranged to win Elmi immigration status, and that prosecutors then concluded the potential felony fell outside the five-year statute of limitations<\/strong>, so no case was brought. The paper’s account rests on unnamed officials; the evidence itself has not been made public.<\/p>\n

The claim that Elmi is Omar’s brother has trailed her for years. She has called it a baseless conspiracy theory, but her answer to the question last week was less categorical. Asked on MS NOW by host Chris Hayes whether there was “some weird kernel of truth” to it, Omar said, “Not to my knowledge.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

YIKES: Ilhan Omar was just asked if she married her brother on Live TV<\/p>\n

Her answer: \u201cNot to my knowledge\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

WHAT?!<\/p>\n

She can\u2019t even say \u201cNO\u201d?!<\/p>\n

What other person would answer this question like that? <\/p>\n

The Times report lands in the middle of a live federal investigation.<\/strong> As noted above, Homeland Security agents searched Omar’s Washington home on October 12 under a court-authorized warrant, and the Trump Justice Department has an open criminal probe into her immigration and naturalization records. We noted<\/a> at the time that investigators were using DNA and weighing a conspiracy charge, which would not be bound by the same clock; that account also came from unnamed sources.<\/p>\n

If the Times account is right, the government had evidence of the allegation a decade ago and brought no case.<\/strong> The current investigation, which Omar has called political intimidation ahead of the midterms, is reportedly looking at her immigration paperwork rather than only the marriage itself.<\/p>\n

The political fight is moving as fast. 175 House Democrats<\/a> demanded a halt to the investigation on October 28. No criminal charges tied to the alleged marriage fraud have been announced.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/article>\n
