Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called out the Trump administration’s “bullsh*t” investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). The Department of Homeland Security is probing whether Omar or her late father lied or gave misleading information in the 1990s when he sought legal status in the U.S. from Somalia before they became U.S. citizens. On Monday, Homeland Security agents (https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/breaking-ilhan-omars-dc-home-reportedly-raided-by-dhs-agents/) searched Omar’s home in Washington, D.C. as part of the (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/us/politics/ilhan-omar-home-searched.html) probe . According to a (https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/ilhan-omar-investigation-aims-to-build-case-for-stripping-her-citizenship-6adf1edc) report published in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, the ultimate aim of the investigation is to justify stripping Omar of her citizenship and (https://www.mediaite.com/politics/investigation-into-ilhan-omar-reportedly-driven-by-effort-to-revoke-citizenship-and-deport-her/) deporting her . Less than 30 minutes after the report dropped, Greene went on X and (https://x.com/FmrRepMTG/status/2110550281649783154) slammed the Trump administration and the “dumb mf’ers” who work in it: Me and Ilhan Omar are far apart policy wise. I’m pro life, she’s pro abortion. I’m pro 2A, she’s pro gun control. And on and on. But can someone tell me how pretending to get ready to deport Ilhan Omar is going to bring gas down under $2, make health insurance freaking affordable, make a family’s weekly grocery bill make sense, and stop sending our beloved military off to fight for another fucking foreign war??? People are so sick and tired of the bullshit. When you dumb mf’ers at the WH actually release the Epstein files and lock up the pedophiles and rapists you all hang out with, then we will start paying attention. Until then 🖕.  Citing U.S. officials and others familiar with the investigation, the Journal said the probe centers on whether Omar or her father, who had fled war-ravaged Somalia, changed her age on her citizenship application to indicate she was 17 instead of 18. Had she been 17 at the time, her citizenship would have been automatically granted along with her father’s. However, if she were 18, she would have had to become naturalized separately. The congresswoman became a U.S. citizen in 2000 after her father brought her to the country in 1995. When asked about the raid on Monday, President Donald Trump , who has baselessly (https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/trump-unleashes-nasty-tirade-at-ilhan-omar-she-oughta-get-the-hell-out-of-our-country/) claimed that Omar married her brother, denied he had anything to do with the investigation. “I’ve always found her to be totally crooked, personally,” he (https://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/trump-tries-to-distance-himself-from-raid-on-ilhan-omars-home-nothing-to-do-with-me/) said . “But that has nothing to do with me. I think she’s a terrible person, just a complainer. She comes from a country that is a non-country. And then she comes over here and she complains about our Constitution. I think she’s a terrible person.” New: The Mediaite One-Sheet "Newsletter of Newsletters" Your daily summary and analysis of what the many, many media newsletters are saying and reporting.
