Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said Monday that Rep. Ilhan Omar should be deported, calling the Minnesota Democrat a fraud as the Department of Homeland Security investigates her immigration history.

“If we don’t make an example out of somebody that’s just standing up and blatantly says she hates America, she wants the president to be dead, she backs everything that these communists talk about, and she’s a fraud,” Tuberville said on Newsmax’s “Ed Henry The Big Take.“

“And the people that she represents, they’ve stolen millions and millions of dollars from the American taxpayer. She hasn’t said one thing about it, to condemn it. So at the end of the day, she’s got to be gone.”

Our immigration system is broken, but it’s not broken to the point that we can’t send people home that blatantly have stolen, they’re fraud,” he said.

“And they lie pretty much every day. So let’s send her home. You know, this is a great country, but it’s not as great as it could be without her in it. We need to send her back where she came from.”

Tuberville did not cite any statement in which Omar said she wanted Trump dead.

Omar has called the fraud in Minnesota “reprehensible” and said she wrote to the agriculture secretary demanding accountability when the Feeding Our Future scheme surfaced.

She has also said Somali Minnesotans were themselves victims, saying, “We do not blame the lawlessness of an individual on a whole community.” The Feeding Our Future scheme involved roughly $250 million in pandemic-era child nutrition money.

White House border czar Tom Homan said Sunday on Fox News that Homeland Security Investigations is conducting an “ongoing criminal investigation” involving Omar but declined to describe its scope or cite evidence, saying that “no one’s above the law” regardless of whether the subject is a member of Congress.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said days earlier that investigators were examining allegations involving Omar’s immigration history, including the allegation that she married her brother to help him immigrate. Mullin added that “something’s going to happen.”

Omar has denied the marriage allegation for years and called it a bigoted lie. No publicly disclosed evidence or court finding has substantiated it.

Omar was born in Somalia, fled the country’s civil war as a child, and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before arriving in the United States in 1995. She became a U.S. citizen in 2000 and was elected to the House in 2018.

A naturalized U.S. citizen generally cannot be deported unless a federal court first revokes that person’s citizenship. Civil denaturalization requires the government to establish that citizenship was illegally obtained or procured through the concealment of a material fact or willful misrepresentation.

Deportation would require a separate removal process and an applicable legal ground for removal.
