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.’”
“It is something that we have fixed in the Trump administration, but fundamentally that loophole you’re going to see sometime in the future, somebody is going to try to exploit that loophole, and it’s one of the things that we’re very focused on in the fraud task force, is making sure that the people who exploited that loophole are actually prosecuted for it, assuming they committed a crime,” Vance continued.
WATCH:
Reese: You previously mentioned that Ilhan Omar seemed to have committed immigration fraud. Do you anticipate an indictment against her, an indictment related to that situation?
Vance: Yeah, so Reagan, I don’t want to prejudge an investigation. I mean, you’re reading things about Ilhan Omar and about who she married and whether she did marry this person or that person. It certainly seems like something fishy is there, but everybody’s entitled to equal justice under the laws. So, we’re going to investigate it. We’re going to take a look at 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.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Vance stated in a March interview that Somali Rep. Omar “definitely committed immigration fraud, against the United States of America” and that his task force is looking into what can be done about it.
‘We’re trying to look at what the remedies are. That’s the thing we’re trying to figure out is what are the legal remedies now that we know that she’s committed immigration fraud?” Vance said.
How do you investigate her? How do you go after her?” he added, suggesting that she may also be involved in the mass welfare fraud in the Minnesota Somali community.
