A post from the X account @Mollyploofkins arguing that scrutiny of Representative Ilhan Omar’s citizenship should extend to Elon Musk and Melania Trump has circulated widely Continues below #USDemocracy 👇
…landing amid an active federal investigation into the Minnesota Democrat’s immigration history.

The post read: “If Rep. Ilhan Omar’s citizenship warrants an investigation, then so do Elon Musk’s and Melania Trump’s. The same standard should apply to everyone.”

The comparison lands against a backdrop of mounting federal action against Omar. Tom Homan, the White House border czar, told Fox News that the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement were examining allegations that Omar had committed “immigration or naturalization fraud,” tied to claims she entered a sham marriage to help someone obtain citizenship illegally. Homan said authorities were reviewing Omar’s immigration records. Omar, who arrived in the United States in March 1995 after fleeing Somalia’s civil war, has repeatedly denied the allegations, which first surfaced in 2016. Earlier this month, agents with Homeland Security Investigations ex*cuted a search warrant at Omar’s Washington, D.C. home as part of what the Justice Department called an ongoing federal criminal investigation.

Both figures named in the post have their own naturalization histories. Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive, was born in South Africa and became a naturalized U.S. citizen as an adult. Melania Trump became a citizen in 2006, a year after marrying Donald Trump, roughly six years after Omar herself was naturalized at age 17 in 2000.

Asked about the search of Omar’s home, Trump told reporters he had “nothing to do with it,” adding that investigators were “looking at her very carefully,” and said, “I’ve always found her to be totally crooked, personally, but that has nothing to do with me.” Omar has said she will not be silenced by what she has called a campaign of lies and smears, and remains on the ballot for reelection to Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District in November.

The incumbent sheriff has been accused of terrible abuses, including this. Spencer defeated him handily in the GOP primary. Spencer faces an independent opponent.
The sheriff has also been accused of fostering an environment in which deputies in the jail sexually assaulted women detainees as a regular practice, and then retaliated against women who complained. According to a civil complaint, women were routinely sexually assaulted and asked to perform sexual favors in exchange for better treatment in the jail. In one chilling anecdote from the lawsuit, a deputy sexually assaulted a woman and then broadcast the audio over the intercom system. Three deputies were fired and two were convicted of felonies in 2024, and they received probation and community service, no prison time.
