This is harassment. They're looking into all of her family members but not for their refugee or immigration status. Oh, no, for hers.

The political motives of this campaign of institutional bullying targeting one individual and her family are blatant.

This is fascism.

Didn’t the democrats investigate and impeach him? Hasn’t he been brought to civil court multiple times? I guess this is (D)ifferent.

u/Easy-Goose1038 13h ago

Following the fraud, it is not harassment. Geez, Minnesota is a hotbed of fraud, and it is her district.

u/Responsible-War-917 12h ago

You are spouting just complete bottom of the barrel retard conservative propaganda. There hasn't even been as much fraud uncovered in Minnesota as the fuckin reflecting pool kickback job in DC.

Russian bot says what?

u/aRedRocketAppears 12h ago

What if there is no one above the entity with a lifelong reputation (with easily referenced legal cases) for fraud?

u/AggressiveBanana0570 12h ago

Ok we need to investigate malaria and musk.

Clearly Zelensky has more data centers to obliterate.

u/CriticismFree2900 12h ago

Not to mention they keep bringing in more Somalis to increase her voter base 

It's all just corrupt as fuck

u/Curious-Antelope6171 12h ago

Do you really think the state is funneling immigrants specifically to her district?

11

u/BabblingTower 12h ago

No they don't think that, they are a foreign actor trying to divide us by pretending to be an imbecile

5

u/Curious-Antelope6171 12h ago

Maybe, or maybe they consume too much of one type of media

3

u/BabblingTower 12h ago

Right. That seed of doubt in your mind is exactly what the propaganda is intended to do: Make you think a substantial portion of your countrymen are this dum. Divided we fall.

1

u/Curious-Antelope6171 12h ago

I'm of the opinion that American will end up dividing formally in the next 100 years. The boys are helping us along the way.

u/CriticismFree2900 12h ago

Yea cause it's just happenstance that she gets elected by the state with the most somalis and it's also just happenstance that these people are defrauding 

3

u/Curious-Antelope6171 12h ago

Oh gonna pin it on fraud? Does this administrations fraud bother you? Does it bother you that the administration ran political ads with tax payer money, which is illegal? I want to know if it's fraud or immigrant fraud that bothers you the most

1

u/CriticismFree2900 10h ago

Yea that should be investigated and the people responsible should be held accountable 

2

u/Curious-Antelope6171 10h ago

I agree with you on that.

u/Next-Concert7327 12h ago

Don't try to project your moral failures onto anyone else

u/Asher_Tye 12h ago

Why do you act like you're not pro-corruption?

-1

u/CriticismFree2900 12h ago

What type of strange question is this? 

I think all fraud and misrepresentation of funds to the government needs to be looked into accordingly 

Or are you only pro corruption when it happens to people you don't like?

3

u/Asher_Tye 12h ago

If you're so anti-corruption, how come you don't turn yourself in for defrauding government welfare then? Are you only anti-corruption when it isn't you? Despicable.

0

u/CriticismFree2900 10h ago

Because I don't defraud government welfare... 

Where are you getting this from???? I work 8-4 mon-fri and pay like 20k in taxes a year 

2

u/WineOptics 12h ago

Yet somehow you ignore all the open corruption Trump and his administration are doing. How hypocritical and ignorant of you.

-1

u/CriticismFree2900 10h ago

Why would I ignore that? 

Are you all so deluded that if someone even vaguely doesn't fall in line then they are the maga enemy? Buncha weirdos 

2

u/Hour-Cheetah3764 12h ago

What's corrupt is the felon and pedophile in the white house and his entire administration. He's been using his DoJ to protect pedophiles and go after his enemies.

You can't just bring in foreign nationals to vote. Minnesota requires proof of citizenship and for you to be a resident of the state for at least 20 days. No one is bringing in Somalis to vote.

Democrats are polling well. Republicans are not due to Trump's poor approval rating.

1

u/CriticismFree2900 10h ago

Yea I agree 

Sorry are you all just grandstanding or do you have a point? 

17

u/Lucky_Athlete_5615 13h ago

The thing is, Trump hopes that this action affects other races. They know she will be re-elected but maybe it could help a GOP candidate elsewhere.

Plus it is just plain hateful election interference.

u/Gloomy-Recipe9213 12h ago

Most Democrat districts are barely a 60/40 split between D and R. It only takes a few switching sides or sitting out to make a difference. Omar’s district is like 75/25 so it mightn’t flip hers, but there’s a lot of Red Minnesota out there.

u/shagadelicrelic 13h ago

This is bigoted bullshit and election interference. They have nothing on her but that won't matter to the brain dead people that watch faux news all day

u/A4t1musD4ag0n 13h ago

Goodbye to who?

u/SpiritedAgent168 12h ago

Mods should delete this thread.

u/Chuckychinster 12h ago

I'm so excited to see how this new precedent plays out when Dems are back in power.

I say investigate every MAGA official ever for their crimes.

3

u/Vaxx88 12h ago

I agree, but the previous democratic administration SHOULD have done that. Biden decided that putting the DOJ to work on those criminals would be seen as “too partisan”

(Even though the rightwing were already accusing them of “weaponizing the criminal justice system”)

Let’s hope the dems might take the gloves off this time.

2

u/Chuckychinster 12h ago

I hope so. Even if I disagree with many of someone's policy, an "avenging tour" to outdo Trump's revenge tour would get me to strongly consider voting for someone anyway

u/Infinite_Respect_ 12h ago

OP doesn’t have anyone left that wants to hear this junk in their real life, so they’re here.

3

u/Veshaad Timendi Causa Est Nescire 12h ago

You know it takes a special kind of hypocrisy to post this, but have a post saying you're happily married and in a healthy relationship to a wife who is of immigrant heritage, and then comment on other subs how you want to hook up with other people... just saying.

7

u/Veshaad Timendi Causa Est Nescire 13h ago

Those in glass houses...as the phrase goes there Dr. Evil.

u/Baddecisionsbyme1 13h ago

This is current and future campaign fodder the right will use for a decade or more - “remember when the Dems had a prominent representative who was investigated for immigration fraud and they didn’t have her resign?” It’s all smoke and mirrors, and a ploy to set up and justify future despicable behavior. They know there is nothing there, but it’s all optics to distract now, and then distort later.

3

u/No-Koala1918 13h ago

So a fishing expedition....

3

u/techman710 12h ago

This is purely political. To execute these subpoenas and search warrants 3 weeks before an election the subject is a candidate in is absolutely not normal. This DOJ is just Trumps revenge team of lawyers paid for by the taxpayers. This is a disgusting perversion of the justice system.

3

u/Phyrexian_Overlord 12h ago

I wonder why the department of justice isn't going after the immigrant who loud and proud admitted to breaking the law working on his student visa that he continued to use after dropping out of school

u/Zutthole 12h ago

This is a cute attempt

u/ArtBot2119 12h ago

Doubtful, very doubtful, but we’ll see.

u/tfsteel 12h ago

It needs to be noted in any post about the president's attacks on black immigrants that the potus is openly racist.

1

u/Garnetheia 12h ago

"The investigation is seeking information to see where it leads, the source said."

So even the investigators admit they're just on an expedition.

Make no mistake, this is who we are.

1

u/TentenChickee 12h ago

Yeah whoever thinks this is ok is a racist POS. Protect Ilhan and Minnesota at all costs. This is domestic terrorism by our own government.

u/VastFig965 12h ago

lol. So you only want to hold people accountable if they don’t agree with you? Got it.

u/Thirtiethone 12h ago

I see Zelensky has more work to do

3

u/GoldieMcSpud 12h ago

If we're talking about holding people accountable, surely you'll want to investigate Trump's thousands of crimes since taking office? Why his net worth has increased by billions? The Epstein Files he keeps hiding?
