Trump's top immigration official claims an internal investigation found that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar 'married her brother' and could be facing deportation.
'We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said of the Minnesota Democrat. 'We know he lives now in London.'
He was speaking about the second man Omar married, who the Daily Mail has previously reported is Ahmed Elmi. Both are originally from Somalia.
She allegedly was still married to her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, at the time of the second marriage, the congresswoman has told friends who relayed the account to the Daily Mail.
Omar has long denied the allegations. She has since remarried a third time and is wed to political consultant Tim Mynett.
Mullin told conservative pundit Benny Johnson that Omar's actions amounted to 'possible illegal activity' and the investigation is 'ongoing,' breaking a standard where officials typically do not discuss active investigations.
