ICE Refusal to Release Omar-Related FOIA Records Revives Immigration Fraud Questions
ICE said releasing the records could interfere with enforcement proceedings and might expose witnesses or tip off suspects.
- President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday that ICE is withholding records regarding Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar, citing "ongoing enforcement proceedings."
- Just News submitted a FOIA request in January seeking files on Omar; ICE responded in May that records were withheld in full under Title 5, citing ongoing enforcement proceedings.
- Critics alleged Omar married Elmi in 2009 while still married to Ahmed Hirsi; she filed for divorce from Elmi in 2017, later marrying Hirsi in 2018.
- Omar's campaign called the assertions "categorically ridiculous and false," while Trump has repeatedly referenced the marriage claims and called for the Democrat Rep.'s removal from office.
- Justice Department guidance requires Officials to show a reasonable likelihood that disclosure would disrupt pending proceedings, a standard supporting the agency's decision to withhold the Public records.
