联邦特工搜查明尼苏达州民主党众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔位于华盛顿特区的住宅后，一名保守派监督组织领导人周三发出警告，称更多爆料或将接踵而至。这位明尼苏达州民主党议员目前正面临两项独立调查：一项涉及她的移民记录，另一项涉及财务披露。
监督项目主席迈克·豪厄尔所在的组织曾推动撤销奥马尔支持的一项103.1万美元专项拨款。他表示，国土安全调查局（HSI）的搜查行动引发了有关国会问责的更广泛疑问，以及调查人员接下来可能发现什么。
就在他发出上述警告之际，美国检察官珍妮娜·F·皮尔罗在《美国报道》节目中证实，她的办公室正在调查这位明尼苏达州民主党议员的财务披露情况。另有报道显示，联邦调查人员已发出传票，传唤奥马尔的亲属参与一项与移民相关的调查。

“我认为这里还会有其他靴子落地，”豪厄尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“这就是为什么我认为民主党人真的忍不住在看到任何证据之前就跳出来为奥马尔抱团护短，”他说。
民主党对突袭奥马尔的愤怒引发共和党尖锐提醒：此举开创了先例

“我得说，他们似乎在稍微收回之前的说法。现在的辩护已经从全面维护奥马尔转向了空洞的辩解，比如‘这事已经过去很久了’，或者‘这是政治打压，因为她是伊尔汉·奥马尔’。”
豪厄尔暗示，奥马尔支持者的论调表明，“事情远非表面看起来那么美好”。

豪厄尔的警告不仅针对奥马尔，还指向他所说的华盛顿问责机制的全面失效——议员们可以倡导由纳税人资助的项目，但这些项目后来可能会面临合法性质疑。
福克斯新闻获悉，联邦调查人员正在核查奥马尔1995年抵达美国和2000年获得美国公民身份时申报的年龄是否准确，包括是否存在不准确信息影响她根据当时生效的法律通过父亲获得公民身份的资格。

调查还涉及奥马尔已故父亲填写的文件，以及他是否提供了虚假信息。消息人士告诉福克斯新闻，调查人员正在调查可能持续多年的移民欺诈行为。
联邦调查人员已就该移民调查发出十余张传票，其中包括发给奥马尔家人的传票。
消息人士告诉福克斯新闻，这项移民调查与皮尔罗负责的财务披露调查相互独立。
“当然，我们现在还处于猜测阶段，”豪厄尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，承认联邦调查的全面范围尚不明确。
前检察官称：选举前数周针对奥马尔突袭的投诉，民主党人“手脚不干净”
尽管如此，豪厄尔仍辩称，对在任国会议员在华盛顿获取搜查令，表明调查人员已掌握实质性证据。不过，搜查令仅能证明法官认定有合理理由相信搜查将发现可扣押的证据或其他物品，而非奥马尔已犯罪。
豪厄尔指出了他认为的一系列特殊情况：特朗普政府主导下的国土安全调查局调查、由 heavily 民主党占多数的华盛顿特区联邦法官授权的搜查令，以及临近选举的时间节点——这些都让他相信调查人员可能掌握了确凿证据。
“他们大概率掌握了她的确凿证据，”豪厄尔说。“除非有相当有说服力的证据，否则你不可能让华盛顿特区的联邦法官签署这类文件。”
前美国移民与海关执法局代理局长、弗吉尼亚东区联邦检察官乔纳森·费伊表示，国土安全调查局此次搜查的时机引发疑问，调查人员是否正在调查与长期存在的移民指控相关的最新文件。
“我推测他们可能在寻找他们认为带有虚假信息的新文件，”费伊告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他指的是移民调查。
费伊表示，如果明知在最新的联邦文件中重复重要虚假信息，可能会面临额外的法律风险，具体取决于文件、具体情况和适用法规，即便仅基于旧文件提起刑事指控会因诉讼时效而被驳回。
前联邦调查局特工妮可·帕克警告，如果奥马尔的父亲在奥马尔未成年时填写了所谓的虚假文件，奥马尔可能不会面临刑事责任。
“如果她的父亲撒谎并填写了（公民身份/入籍）表格，那么在我看来，她不会被追究刑事责任，”帕克说。
不过，帕克表示，如果当局认定奥马尔通过提供重大虚假信息获得公民身份，她可能会面临另一个法律问题。
“如果她的公民身份是通过虚假借口和虚假信息获得的，那么这可能会导致她被剥夺公民身份，丧失美国国籍，”她说。
今年1月，监督项目组织对奥马尔和明尼苏达州民主党参议员支持的一项拟议中的103.1万美元专项拨款提出质疑，该拨款用于明尼阿波利斯的“Generation Hope MN司法赋能倡议”。
该组织对这家非营利组织的财务状况、运营情况和获得纳税人资助的资格提出担忧，包括其成瘾康复服务是否在与明尼阿波利斯一家餐馆共享的场地开展。该餐馆老板此前曾向福克斯新闻数字频道证实，Generation Hope在楼上的办公空间运营。
“我们当时说，我们去查查这些专项拨款，”豪厄尔回忆道。
保守派共和党人随后反对这笔拨款，包括得克萨斯州共和党众议员奇普·罗伊在内的多位议员推动撤销该拨款。
该专项拨款最终被撤销，犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李和爱荷华州共和党参议员乔尼·恩斯特随后要求司法部对该非营利组织进行审查。
这场拨款争议引发了人们对国会议员对拟议受资助方审查力度的质疑，但撤销拨款并未证明奥马尔或该组织存在欺诈行为。目前尚无公开信息证实这场拨款争议与两项联邦调查之间存在关联。
豪厄尔在其更广泛的“机构腐败”论点中指出，奥马尔的拨款争议并非个例，他批评议员们将对美国以外的忠诚置于宪法职责之上。
“这并不正常。之所以看起来正常，只是因为这种情况发生得太频繁了。我认为是时候让议员们认真对待他们宣誓效忠的宪法了，”他说。

奥马尔否认存在不当行为，并指责特朗普政府将联邦执法武器化以打压政治对手。她的办公室称此次搜查是滥用权力，并此前曾指出国会道德调查结果建议撤销有关她财务披露的指控，但未回应记者就本文置评的请求。

Oversight Project’s Mike Howell predicts further revelations as HSI and financial disclosure probes proceed separately

The federal raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C., home prompted warnings Wednesday from a conservative watchdog leader that more revelations could be coming, as the Minnesota Democrat faces separate investigations involving her immigration records and financial disclosures.
Oversight Project President Mike Howell, whose group pushed to strip a $1.031 million earmark backed by Omar, says the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) search raises broader questions about congressional accountability and what investigators may uncover next.
His warning comes as U.S. Attorney Jeanine F. Pirro confirmed on “America Reports” that her office is investigating the Minnesota Democrat’s financial disclosures, while separate reporting revealed that federal investigators had subpoenaed Omar’s relatives as part of an immigration-related probe.

“I think there’s other shoes that are going to drop here,” Howell told Fox News Digital.
“That’s why I think the Democrats really just couldn’t resist the temptation to jump out of this before they saw any evidence and just circle the wagons [around Omar],” he said.

“I will say it appears they’re walking that back a little bit. It has shifted from just a wholesale defense of Omar to a non-substantive defense, talking about, ‘well, this stuff was old,’ or ‘this is political since she’s Ilhan Omar’.”
Howell suggested that Omar’s defenders’ arguments indicate that it’s “not all peaches and cream underneath the hood.”

Howell’s warning extends beyond Omar to what he describes as a broader failure of accountability in Washington, where lawmakers can champion taxpayer-funded projects that later face questions about their legitimacy.
Fox News has learned that federal investigators are examining whether Omar’s age was accurately reported when she arrived in the United States in 1995 and when she acquired U.S. citizenship in 2000, including whether any inaccurate information could have affected her eligibility for citizenship through her father under the law in effect at the time.

The inquiry also encompasses paperwork completed by her late father and whether he provided inaccurate information. Sources told Fox News that investigators are examining potential immigration fraud spanning multiple years.
Federal investigators have issued more than a dozen subpoenas as part of the immigration inquiry, including subpoenas to members of Omar’s family.
The immigration inquiry is separate from the financial-disclosure investigation being handled by Pirro, sources told Fox News.
“We’re in the speculation zone, of course,” Howell told Fox News Digital, acknowledging uncertainty about the full scope of the federal investigations.
DEMOCRATS HAVE ‘DIRTY HANDS’ OVER COMPLAINTS ABOUT OMAR RAID WEEKS BEFORE ELECTION, EX-PROSECUTOR SAYS
Still, Howell argued that obtaining a search warrant for a sitting member of Congress in Washington suggested investigators had developed substantial evidence, though the warrant establishes only that a judge found probable cause to believe the search would uncover evidence or other items subject to seizure, not that Omar committed a crime.
Howell pointed to what he viewed as a unique combination of circumstances — an HSI investigation under the Trump administration, a warrant authorized by a federal judge in heavily Democratic Washington, D.C., and the proximity of the election — as reasons he believes investigators may have substantial evidence.
“They probably got the goods on her,” Howell said. “You don’t get a federal judge to sign off on something like this in Washington, D.C., of all places, unless there is something that is rather convincing.”
Jonathan Fahey, a former acting ICE director and federal prosecutor in the neighboring Eastern District of Virginia, said the timing of the HSI search raises questions about whether investigators are examining more recent documents tied to longstanding immigration allegations.
“I surmise that what they may be looking for is newer things that were used with what they believe is false information,” Fahey told Fox News Digital, referring to the immigration investigation.
Fahey suggested that knowingly repeating materially false information in more recent federal filings could create separate legal exposure, depending on the documents, circumstances and applicable statutes, even if criminal charges based solely on older paperwork would be barred by the statute of limitations.
Former FBI agent Nicole Parker cautioned that Omar might not face criminal liability if her father completed allegedly false paperwork while she was a minor.
“If her father lied and filled out the [citizenship/naturalization] forms, then in my opinion, she will not be criminally held responsible,” Parker said.
However, Parker said Omar could face a separate legal question if authorities establish she obtained citizenship through materially-false information.
It could potentially cause her to be denaturalized and lose her citizenship if her citizenship was gained on false pretenses and false information,” she said.
In January, the Oversight Project challenged a proposed $1.031 million earmark for Generation Hope MN’s Justice Empowerment Initiative in Minneapolis, a project backed by Omar and Minnesota’s Democratic senators.
The group raised concerns about the nonprofit’s finances, operations and eligibility for taxpayer funding, including questions about its addiction recovery services at a location shared with a Minneapolis restaurant, whose owner previously confirmed to Fox News Digital that Generation Hope operated in upstairs office space.
“We said, let’s go check out those earmarks,” Howell recalled.
Conservative Republicans subsequently objected to the funding, with Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, among those pushing for its removal.
The earmark was stripped, and Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, later requested Justice Department scrutiny of the nonprofit.
The funding dispute raised questions about congressional vetting of proposed recipients, but its removal did not establish fraud by Omar or the organization. No connection between the earmark controversy and either federal investigation has been publicly confirmed.
As part of his broader “institutional rot” argument, Howell argued that Omar’s earmark controversy is not unique, criticizing what he sees as lawmakers placing loyalties outside the United States ahead of their constitutional responsibilities.
“This isn’t normal. And it only seems normal because it’s been happening so much. And I think it’s about time we take the oath to the Constitution that members swear seriously,” he said.

Omar has denied wrongdoing and accused the Trump administration of weaponizing federal law enforcement against political opponents. Her office called the search an abuse of power and previously pointed to congressional ethics findings recommending dismissal of allegations concerning her financial disclosures, but did not respond to a request for comment on this story.
