Calls for Ilhan Omar's Deportation Grow Amid Fraud Investigations

Congressman Randy Fine didn’t mince words on Sunday, telling Newsmax that Rep. Ilhan Omar should be denaturalized, deported, and — if the evidence warrants it — face criminal consequences. Fine’s comments came amid a growing Republican frustration that decades of lax immigration and welfare enforcement have allowed bad actors to game American systems while hardworking citizens are left footing the bill.

 This blowback isn’t happening in a vacuum; the House Oversight Committee has opened formal examinations into massive fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs and is demanding answers from state officials. Conservatives watching these hearings see a pattern: taxpayer dollars diverted, whistleblowers silenced, and Democratic officials who looked the other way while the theft ballooned into the billions.

Republican members have not been idle. Rep. Nancy Mace moved to subpoena Ilhan Omar’s immigration records as part of the probe, pointing to long-standing and serious questions about whether marriage and immigration laws were abused. These are not trivial accusations to shrug off — they deserve full transparency and a forensic review so the American people can judge for themselves.

Fine’s rhetoric reflects a rising resolve among conservatives to take action beyond hot takes: he’s openly discussing a resolution to expel Omar from Congress if misconduct is proven and backing efforts to hold officials accountable. For years Democrats have dismissed border and welfare enforcement as political cudgels; now those policies are colliding with the consequences of their neglect, and Republicans are rightly pushing back.

Oversight leaders have put a price tag on the damage: committee materials and audits describe systemic failures that allowed as much as several billion dollars to be drained from programs meant to help vulnerable Americans. If federal investigations confirm that public benefits were stolen or immigration rules were skirted to obtain status, denaturalization and deportation are not extreme punishments — they are lawful remedies for fraud and a deterrent to future abuse.

Make no mistake, conservatives condemn political violence and the attack on Rep. Omar at a recent town hall; nobody of any party should be sprayed or threatened for doing their job. Fine himself made clear he does not want representatives physically harmed even as he demands legal accountability for alleged wrongdoing — that balance between safety and rule of law is exactly what responsible leaders should demand.

The American people deserve more than platitudes and press releases — they deserve full investigations, prosecutions where warranted, and meaningful reforms to close the loopholes that enable theft. If the evidence shows fraud, then denaturalization, deportation, and removal from office are not acts of vengeance but steps to restore the integrity of our immigration system and protect taxpayers. Congress and the Justice Department must follow the facts wherever they lead and deliver the accountability hardworking Americans expect.
