Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says feds built a large multi-person case on Rep. Ilhan Omar and handed it to the DOJ for investigation.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Fox News on Friday that federal investigators probing Rep. Ilhan Omar have assembled a “large case” that reaches beyond a single target and now sits with the Justice Department.

Mullin said Homeland Security Investigations agents did extensive work before presenting the matter, and that the DOJ is leading the investigations. His comments came the same day The Post reported fresh detail from a 2009 Minnesota marriage license tied to long-running questions about Omar’s personal history.

Agents from Homeland Security Investigations searched Omar’s Washington, D.C., home on Oct. 12. Authorities are examining alleged immigration fraud involving a 2009 marriage to Ahmed Elmi, alleged false statements on government documents used to gain citizenship, and whether she inflated her net worth by tens of millions of dollars on House financial disclosure forms.

Omar has denied wrongdoing. Her lawyers have demanded the immediate return of all seized property. Her office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mullin rejects claims of a political hit job

Former President Barack Obama publicly lambasted the probe. Mullin pushed back hard on the weaponization charge and framed the work as equal enforcement of federal law.

He told Fox News the case is not aimed at one person alone.

"This isn’t just a case that’s targeting one individual. This is a large case that we have presented to the DOJ, and the DOJ is leading the investigations,"

Mullin said agents “did a lot of investigation to be able to present the case to them.” He returned repeatedly to the same point: the department is not staging political theater.

"And I’ll just say this again: We’re enforcing our nation’s laws, and we’re going to do that. We’re not weaponizing. We’re not using political theater on this,"

He added that the standard does not bend for party, title, or voter registration.

"I’ve made this very, very, very, very clear: we’re enforcing our nation’s laws across the board equally, and we’re going to continue to do that,"

And he closed the equal-application theme this way:

"I don’t care where you’re seated, and I don’t care how you’re registered to vote, I don’t care what your job title is. We use it equally."

Mullin also said the facts will play out without political gamesmanship over anyone’s life.

Marriage records and a long timeline keep drawing scrutiny

A certified copy of a 2009 marriage license from Hennepin County, Minnesota, shows Omar’s surname crossed out, replaced with “Elmi,” then restored to “Omar.” The Post reported that license detail the same day Mullin spoke.

Reporting on the 2009 marriage has long centered on claims that Elmi is Omar’s brother and that the union helped him stay legally in the United States after the family wanted him out of the United Kingdom. Elmi, a British citizen who describes himself as gay, left Minnesota in 2012. The divorce was finalized in 2017.

Those court filings and marriage records sit beside an earlier relationship timeline that investigators and reporters have examined for years.

In 2002, Omar married Ahmed Hirsi in an Islamic ceremony. They applied for a marriage license, but Omar has said they never finalized it and thus were never legally married. They had two children. Witnesses later told The Post that Omar still lived with Hirsi in 2012 and that the couple had a third child that year.

Omar officially married Hirsi in 2018, the same year she first won her House seat. In 2019 she left him for Tim Mynett, a political consultant paid by her campaign. They married the next year.

Last week, MS NOW anchor Chris Hayes asked Omar whether she married her brother. She answered, “Not to my knowledge.” That murky answer on the brother-marriage claim came after the D.C. home search and kept the personal-history questions in the news.

Prior federal interest stopped under a Biden-era prosecutor

Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1981 or 1982. Her birth year has been disputed, with allegations she made herself a year younger to qualify later for citizenship as a minor. After four years in a Kenyan refugee camp during Somalia’s civil war, she and her family emigrated to the United States in 1995.

In 2016, as she ran for Minnesota’s legislature, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security investigated claims she had married her brother. In 2021, a Biden-appointed U.S. attorney in Minnesota officially shut down the investigation into alleged immigration fraud.

The Oct. 12 search of her D.C. home reopened public focus on that unfinished chapter. Follow-up coverage has included federal questioning of Omar’s sister after the raid and reporting that agents seized passport and devices while the DOJ built out the file.

No charges are described in the current public record of Mullin’s remarks. The secretary’s account stops at a large case, multiple people, a completed HSI presentation, and DOJ control of the investigations.

Accountability talk meets a record of starts and stops

Mullin’s message is straightforward: the law applies the same way whether the subject is a private citizen or a member of Congress. He contrasted that approach with what he called Democratic weaponization of the DOJ and FBI against political enemies, including President Trump.

Omar’s camp calls the scrutiny baseless and wants seized property returned at once. Obama’s public criticism framed the probe as improper. The marriage-license alteration, the 2016 FBI and DHS interest, the 2021 shutdown by a Biden-appointed prosecutor, and the October search now sit on the same timeline.

That sequence is why some House Republicans have already discussed consequences that go beyond the criminal file, including a Florida Republican’s expulsion push tied to the immigration probe.

Mullin says the Justice Department will lead and the facts will decide. The public record so far shows a searched home, a multi-person case description, disputed personal history, and a prior investigation that was closed under the last administration.

Equal enforcement means high office is not a shield. When a large federal case reaches the DOJ, voters deserve the facts without special treatment or political excuses.
