Ilhan Omar Denies Intimidation, Seeks Support Amid US Immigration Investigation
US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has appealed to supporters for donations as she faces a federal investigation into alleged immigration-related offences. In a video recorded while travelling, the Minnesota Democrat thanked people who had contributed small amounts and said she would not be intimidated or silenced. She accused the Trump administration of targeting her and urged supporters to back Democratic candidates in the midterm elections. Federal authorities reportedly searched Omar’s Washington home and are reviewing immigration and naturalisation records connected to her family’s arrival in the United States from Somalia. Reports say investigators are examining possible false statements and immigration fraud. Omar has denied any wrongdoing. She described the investigation as an abuse of power and rejected longstanding allegations about her 2009 marriage, which have not been established as fact.
