President Donald Trump on Monday announced on social media that the Justice Department is investigating Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
“The DOJ and Congress are looking at ‘Congresswoman’ Illhan [sic] Omar, who left Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars,” Trump shared. “Time will tell all. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Trump dropped the news first thing Monday morning as chaos continued in Minneapolis following a federal immigration agent fatally shooting an armed anti-ICE protester over the weekend. The president also said he is sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota.
The Truth Social post from Trump added that a major investigation into the “massive 20 Billion Dollar, Plus, Welfare Fraud that has taken place in Minnesota” has been launched, saying that it is “at least partially responsible for the violent organized protests going on in the streets.”
The DOJ did not immediately confirm the investigation to The Daily Wire.
In response, Omar posted on social media: “Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you’re panicking. Right on cue, you’re deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of ‘investigations’ have found nothing.”
She added: “Get your goons out of Minnesota.”
Omar, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has accused ICE of a “terror campaign” and said that an ICE agent “murdered” Renee Good, an anti-ICE activist who was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent after she drove her car toward him.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem reacted on Monday morning via X to news that Homan is heading to Minnesota, saying: “This is good news for peace, safety, and accountability in Minneapolis.”
“I have worked closely with Tom over the last year and he has been a major asset to our team— his experience and insight will help us in our wide-scale fraud investigations, which have robbed Americans, and will help us to remove even more public safety threats and violent criminal illegal aliens off the of [sic] streets of Minneapolis,” she added. “We continue to call on the leadership in Minnesota to allow for state and local partnership in our public safety mission.”
