<p>Immigration records contradict Rep. George Santos&#8217; (R-NY) claim that his mother was in the World Trade Center during the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/9-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">9/11 terrorist attacks</a>.</p>
<p>The revelation is the latest blow to the freshman congressman&#8217;s credibility after he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-rep-elect-who-made-false-statements-about-career-personal-life-admits-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted to lying</a> about his career and personal life.</p>
<p>Documents show Santos&#8217; mother, Fatima Devolder, stated in a visa application to enter the United States from Brazil in 2003 that she had not been in the United States since 1999, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/18/santos-mother-sept-11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to The Washington Post</a>. The Forward <a href="https://forward.com/news/532350/george-santos-congressman-lie-about-9-11-newly-released-documents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted that the records</a>, first obtained by researcher Alex Calzareth via the Freedom of Information Act, indicate Devolder being in the Rio de Janeiro suburb of Niterói on September 11, 2001.</p>
<p>The congressman&#8217;s campaign website claims his mother was in the World Trade Center on the day when hijackers flew airplanes into the twin towers in Manhattan, killing 2,753 people.</p>
<p>&#8220;George’s mother was in her office in the South Tower on September 11, 2001, when the horrific events of that day unfolded,&#8221; <a href="https://georgeforny.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the website says</a>. &#8220;She survived the tragic events on September 11th, but she passed away a few years later when she lost her battle to cancer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reports published last month showed how Santos tweeted contradictory statements about how his mother died. Devolder&#8217;s online obituary says she died on December 23, 2016, and Santos tweeted on that day in 2021 marking five years since losing her, <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/12/29/george-santos-claimed-9-11-led-to-death-of-his-mom-in-2016/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the New York Post</a>. But Santos sent a tweet just months earlier, on July 12, 2021, saying, &#8220;9/11 claimed my mothers [sic] life.&#8221;</p>
<p>Santos is facing all sorts of inquiries into aspects of his life, as well as calls to resign. Despite admitting to fabricating details about himself, Santos <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-rep-elect-who-made-false-statements-about-career-personal-life-admits-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said last month</a> he is &#8220;not a criminal&#8221; and insisted the controversy &#8220;will not deter me from having good legislative success.&#8221;</p>
<p>The House Republican Steering Committee on Tuesday <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/embattled-rep-santos-awarded-seats-science-small-business-committees-rcna66151" target="_blank" rel="noopener">picked Santos to have assignments</a> on the Committee on Small Business and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.</p>
