WATCH: Ilhan Omar denies feds have contacted her after border czar Homan confirms 'criminal' investigation

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told Fox News Digital she has not been made aware of any criminal investigation into her after White House border czar Tom Homan said Sunday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating allegations involving Omar.

"No, they have not," Omar said after being asked if the DHS had reached out to her about any investigation.

Homan confirmed that there is an "ongoing criminal investigation" into the Minnesota Democrat on "The Sunday Briefing." Homan declined to give comment on whether the federal government had evidence that Omar committed immigration or naturalization fraud — a popular allegation against Omar that has prompted numerous calls for a probe. Homan also declined to give specifics on what the investigation is centered on.

HOMAN CONFIRMS 'CRIMINAL' INVESTIGATION INVOLVING ILHAN OMAR, SAYS HE KNOWS 'THINGS ARE GOING ON’

When asked directly whether Homan was confirming an investigation involving Omar, Homan replied, "I'm confirming that ICE is, yeah — look, I said months ago that there's something that's been reported and needs to be looked at."

Fox News Digital asked Omar for her response to the allegations, particularly the claim that she married a man who critics allege is her brother as part of a scheme to obtain citizenship in the U.S.

"The right wing has always had this s--- going, so I don't really worry about it," Omar said about the allegations.

Omar has repeatedly denied claims that she married her brother, as well as claims that any investigation involving her has been opened by DHS or the Justice Department. There has been no public evidence available to confirm an open investigation into Omar.

Vice President JD Vance claimed in May that the Justice Department was looking into allegations against Omar — both related to the claim she married her brother and fraud after her amended financial disclosure forms and steep drop in net worth caught national attention.

Homan’s confirmation of an investigation into Omar comes after DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin alluded to the idea that the DHS was investigating Omar, bringing up her alleged marriage immigration scheme.

"There may be more to this, the whole family migration and possibly some illegal activity for them to come to the United States to begin with. ... If we can prove it, that you shouldn't have been here in the first place, we will deport you," Mullin said on the podcast.

Omar is a naturalized citizen, but Homan said there is a denaturalization process for cases of proven immigration fraud, which he claimed had been done "many times."

"Denaturalization is a process," Homan said. "It’s a very serious process, so if someone lies through that process to become a citizen, and we can prove they, in fact, lied or misrepresented themselves, we can absolutely denaturalize them."

Texas moves to shut down police department over failure to provide 'public benefit to the community'

The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) is revoking the Trinidad Police Department's authority to appoint or continue employing licensed officers effective Friday, following months of controversy surrounding the small Texas city's police force.

In a Sept. 9 letter to Mayor Dennis Haws, TCOLE said the department "failed to meet minimum standards" and "was unable to provide evidence that the agency provides public benefit to the community."

Regulators also cited deficiencies involving basic resources, including bullet-resistant vests and secure evidence storage, and said the department lacked 18 required policies covering areas such as use of force, vehicle pursuits, professional conduct, active shooters and misconduct investigations.

At a City Council meeting Tuesday night, Interim Police Chief Cameron Beckham blamed previous management for the department's problems and disputed aspects of TCOLE's findings, arguing that many of the deficiencies had since been addressed.

"Piss-poor management is what I'm just going to say," Beckham told the council.

The department has faced scrutiny since May, when Trinidad resident Jennifer Combs was arrested on a felony false alarm or report charge after posting about concerns surrounding the city's water supply.

Combs said in a May 20 Facebook post that she had been collecting residents' photos, videos and accounts of water problems in an effort to document complaints and encourage state investigators to test water at residents' homes. She spent 23 hours in jail before a Henderson County grand jury declined to indict her.

Citizen journalist Winston Noles was subsequently arrested and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct while protesting outside City Hall. That charge was later dismissed.

Former Police Chief Charles Gregory resigned in June. Combs has since filed a federal lawsuit against the city and Gregory alleging political retaliation. Prior Fox News Digital reporting also documented that former Trinidad Municipal Judge Shellena Bivens was dismissed after throwing out Noles' charge.

TEXAS POLICE ADMIT OFFICER MADE INACCURATE FIRST AMENDMENT REMARKS AFTER PREACHER CITED AT PRIDE EVENT

Henderson County District Judge R. Scott McKee also later questioned the "accuracy, completeness, and reliability" of information Trinidad officers provided while seeking a search warrant connected to Combs' arrest.

The Texas Rangers confirmed in July that they had opened an investigation involving Trinidad but did not disclose its scope.

Haws told Fox News Digital that city leaders will meet with their attorney Friday morning to discuss their next steps. He said the meeting could involve several options rather than being focused solely on keeping the department open.

At Tuesday's meeting, Haws said the early meeting time would leave the city time to pursue measures such as an injunction or appeal if advised by counsel.

"We are going to work through this process according to the law and at the direction of our attorney as we go through it," Haws said.

TCOLE's letter also states that revocation does not relieve Trinidad of continuing obligations involving personnel records, 2026 traffic-stop data and unresolved misconduct investigations.

Fox News Digital reached out to TCOLE for further comment.

Colbert wins Emmy after show's cancellation but avoids discussing Trump

The White House on Tuesday denied President Donald Trump had any role in CBS' decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," after the former late-night host dodged a question about Trump following his Emmy win in Los Angeles and defended the state of free speech.

Colbert's former program won Outstanding Variety Series at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards Monday, months after "The Late Show" aired its final episode in May. 

When asked after the ceremony about free speech and the future of late-night television, Colbert said he remained optimistic about the medium.

"If you can’t say something because you go to jail, that is a violation of free speech," Colbert said. "I think that late night is just as funny and just as vital as it ever has been, and I love watching Jimmy and Jimmy and John and John and Seth and everybody else. And I think I hope it goes on for a long time because you get to work with people like this, and that’s the greatest gift."

STEPHEN COLBERT EMERGES FROM CANCELLATION TO URGE EMMY VOTERS TO SELECT JIMMY KIMMEL OVER OWN SHOW

White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital the administration had nothing to do with the network’s decision.

"Neither President Trump nor anyone else in the Administration had anything to do with this," Ingle said, in a Tuesday statement to Fox News Digital. "The reality is Stephen Colbert is a pathetic trainwreck with no talent, which is exactly why CBS canceled his show and is booting him off the airwaves."

When CNN correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister asked Colbert directly whether he believed his show had been canceled because of Trump, the comedian appeared to repeatedly deflect rather than answer the question. 

Variety reported that the exchange came during a post-Emmys interview with Wagmeister and Variety co-president and co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh.

COLBERT LASHES OUT AT CBS, SAYS CANCELLATION ‘REINFORCED A NARRATIVE’ OF ‘KNEE BENDING’ TO TRUMP

"What... Gayle, that’s a beautiful dress," Colbert said. After the reporter repeated the question, Colbert continued the bit. "Oh, I’m sorry, I’m deaf on this ear. What did you... what did you say?" Colbert said.

When they again attempted to ask whether Trump was responsible for the cancellation, Colbert deflected once more. "You wanted to know who the most important member of my staff was? It’s me," Colbert said.

Media Research Center President David Bozell told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that Colbert’s refusal to address the Trump question stood in contrast to the speculation surrounding the cancellation and pointed to CBS’ financial rationale for ending the show.

"Colbert suddenly does not want to talk about Trump? That’s rich. Obviously, Trump did not cancel his show," he said. "CBS looked at the audience, looked at the bill, and decided the joke had run long enough."

JIMMY KIMMEL SAYS HE FELT 'DEFEATED' AFTER COLBERT SHOW WAS CANCELLED, SAYS CBS IS USING 'MADE-UP NUMBERS'

CBS announced in July 2025 that it would end "The Late Show" franchise after Colbert's 25-26 season, calling the move "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night." The network said the decision was unrelated to the show's performance, content or other matters involving then-parent company Paramount.

The announcement came three days after Colbert attacked Paramount over its $16 million settlement with Trump involving a "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Colbert characterized the agreement as a payoff connected to Paramount’s pending merger with Skydance Media.

"I believe this kind of complicated financial sentiment with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. It’s ‘big fat bribe,’ because it all comes as Paramount’s owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner, Skydance!" Colbert said at the time.

Fox News Digital reported that Colbert's manager, James Dixon, had been informed June 27 that CBS intended to end the show, before Paramount announced the Trump settlement and more than two weeks before Colbert publicly attacked the agreement. "The Late Show" had been losing roughly $40 million annually.

The FCC approved Paramount's $8 billion merger with Skydance one week after CBS announced the cancellation. The transaction later closed in August 2025.

Trump continued criticizing Colbert after the program’s May finale, calling the former CBS host talentless and celebrating his departure from late-night television.

Fox News Digital reached out to CBS-Paramount for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
