A widely circulated article on social media makes the claim that Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar (D) is facing 40 years in prison and deportation “after newly uncovered crimes”. This headline is false. Additional allegations and speculation within in the articles that the posts reference are beyond the scope of this fact check.
This fact check will not examine Steinberg’s investigation. Omar, however, cannot “face 40 years in prison and deportation” if no legal proceedings are currently ongoing against her, making these claims and headlines inaccurate . Reuters did not find any active or ongoing legal proceedings incriminating Omar at the time of this check. Omar’s team confirmed to Reuters via email that she is not under any formal investigation.
These remarks resurfaced in October 2019, when President Donald Trump called Omar an “America-hating socialist” during a rally in Minneapolis. The President also promoted debunked claims about Omar and her family in the speech .
