Omar needs a "Dallas" to happen.
The Department of Homeland Security stopped the narrative in its tracks, noting that the Democrat ethno-nationalist's sob story appears to be yet another tall tale.
DHS noted on Tuesday that "ICE has absolutely ZERO record of its officers or agents pulling over Congresswoman Omar's son."
In the wake of border czar Tom Homan's confirmation that the Trump administration is investigating Omar for alleged immigration fraud — possibly in connection to Omar's marriage to her alleged brother — former Democratic congressional candidate AJ Kern told Alpha News that public records appear to indicate Omar has trouble keeping the record straight about when she was born.
While Omar has repeatedly indicated that she became a citizen at the age of 17 — a claim she even made to the Guardian this week — Kern noted that Omar "was actually 18 in the year 2000, when her father became eligible to apply for citizenship."
Citing official documents, Kern suggested that Omar "actually wasn't a minor when her father could apply for naturalization," adding that "it kind of blows a hole in her story that she obtained naturalization or citizenship when she was 17."
Emails reviewed by Alpha News show that Omar's staff contacted the Legislative Reference Library on May 17, 2019, requesting they change the Somali-born ethno-nationalist's date of birth from Oct. 4, 1981, to Oct. 4, 1982.
