Rep. Randy Fine said Sunday on Newsmax that he supports President Donald Trump\u2019s call for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) to be expelled from the United States, as Fine pursues action against her. Speaking Friday at a rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, Trump cited allegations tied to an investigation into what he said could involve as much as $9 billion in fraud related to federal aid programs in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

He also accused Omar of\u00a0spreading a false account\u00a0involving law enforcement and her son, and repeated personal allegations he has made about her marrying her brother, which a recent report\u00a0claimed to have validated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think Ilhan Omar should be expelled from Congress,\u201d the Florida Republican told Newsmax\u2019s \u201cSunday Agenda.\u201d \u201cI think she should be expelled from the United States, and that\u2019s something that I\u2019m working on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fine stated that Omar exemplifies broader failures in U.S. immigration policy and indicated his efforts will extend beyond public statements. \u201cShe\u2019ll deal with it on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives,\u201d Fine said, describing what he said would be a formal push rather than just more political posturing.<\/p>\n

Fine linked his criticism to Minnesota\u2019s management of state programs under investigation, pointing to audits and allegations that fraud has extended across multiple initiatives.<\/p>\n

He also criticized Gov. Tim Walz, who has said there is no evidence supporting claims of $9 billion in fraud while pledging to address any proven wrongdoing. \u201cThat\u2019s a bunch of garbage,\u201d Fine told Newsmax. \u201cI mean, he\u2019s been governor for almost eight years. This happened under his watch. They knew exactly what was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fine said the allegations of fraud in Minnesota could reflect broader problems in other Democratic-led states, adding that he expects similar issues may surface elsewhere.<\/p>\n

He\u00a0also said\u00a0he is working on legislation to restrict access to public benefits, arguing that taxpayer-funded programs should be limited to U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I filed a bill to end all welfare to all noncitizens, both legal and illegal,\u201d he said, adding that he plans to continue addressing the issue in Congress, emphasizing the need for accountability and the protection of taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan said earlier this month that the Department of Homeland Security is reviewing allegations that Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar may have committed immigration fraud by entering into a marriage with a relative.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Newsmax, Homan said he is examining whether Omar violated immigration laws and whether her legal status could be affected. Omar\u2019s congressional biography states that she arrived in the United States with her family in the 1990s after fleeing civil war in Somalia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pulling the records, we\u2019re pulling the files,\u201d\u00a0Homan said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at it \u2026 I\u2019m running that down this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Homan stated that the DHS is conducting a thorough review of visa fraud within the Somali community in Minnesota, following the department\u2019s claim that 50% of visas issued in Minnesota may be fraudulent.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump has instructed us to go down, and we\u2019re going to deep dive all of this, and we\u2019re going to hold people accountable,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Trump\u00a0accused the Somali-born congresswoman\u00a0of marrying her brother to commit immigration fraud during a new interview with Politico released Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to see a woman that, you know, marries her brother to get in and then becomes a congressman, does nothing but complain,\u201d Trump said in the interview with Politico\u2019s Dasha Burns, referring to Omar\u2019s alleged 2009 marriage to Ahmed Elmi, who multiple reports and witnesses have claimed is her biological brother.<\/p>\n

Trump made the remarks after Omar condemned recent ICE operations in Minneapolis targeting illegal Somali nationals\u2014a crackdown that followed revelations the billion-dollar welfare fraud scheme, portions of which federal investigators say were funneled to the Somali terror group al-Shabaab.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll she does is complain, complain, complain, and yet her country is a mess,\u201d Trump continued. \u201cLet her go back, fix up her own country. So no, Somalia\u2014and I was right about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
