VP Vance Says DOJ Currently “Looking at” Ilhan Omar for Immigration Fraud
Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday dropped a bombshell during a White House Press Briefing, revealing that the Department of Justice is currently looking into likely immigration fraud committed by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
President Trump has tasked the Vice President with leading the White House’s Fraud Task Force and investigations into schemes to defraud the federal government through welfare programs and immigration.
Chaired by Vance, with Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson as Vice Chairman, “the Task Force will coordinate measures to improve eligibility verification, implement pre-payment controls, detect high-risk fraud trends, and disrupt and dismantle fraud networks and the mechanisms through which fraud is committed,” according to Trump’s Executive Order establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.
Vance has suggested that the longstanding allegations against Omar, including claims that she married her biological brother to game the immigration system, are true.
Though he declined to say whether or not he anticipates an indictment for Ilhan Omar, Vance told the Daily Caller’s Reagan Reese, “We’re going to investigate it.”
“If we think that there’s a crime, we’re going to prosecute that crime, and that’s something the Department of Justice is looking at right now,” he added.
Vance further explained how the Biden Regime abused the asylum and refugee process to allow illegals to fraudulently enter the United States as so-called refugees.
Any “traditional economic immigrant,” he said, “would come into the country and say that they were fleeing persecution, and they would say that they were an asylum claimant, and then effectively what the Biden administration would do is say, ‘ Okay, you’re an asylee, go into the interior of the country. Here’s a work permit, maybe come back in 10 or 12 years for your hearing on whether you actually have a legitimate asylum claim.’”
