🔮 Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents executed a search warrant Monday on Omar’s DC bungalow and exited the home carrying boxes of apparent evidence that will be used for the immigration-related probe.
🔮 “She was claiming derivative citizenship,” Kern told The Post in a phone interview Tuesday, before claiming that Omar may have lied about her age to do so and could have been 18 years old at the time.
🔮 The alteration could offer a big clue as to what federal immigration agents were searching for when they raided her DC home Monday: If the congresswoman is actually one year older than she’s claimed to be, that would mean she couldn’t have legally become a US citizen in 2000, critics contend.
🔮 President Trump is warning the Houthis against launching further deadly attacks against Saudi Arabia and suggesting that he may ask Turkey to help with the Iran-backed terror group.
🔮 The contributions could be the only thing standing between Democrats and a majority in both chambers of Congress this November — but the donations cut against comments Musk made last year about taking a step back from political activism.
🔮 “I will not be silenced,” the congresswoman added in a personal response to the president.
🔮 None of that stopped Mayor Zohran Mamdani from referring to Belgal as “a New Yorker” in a raging tribute Thursday against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a label some Bronx locals took offense to.
🔮 “We’re giving a man the death penalty who killed 14 soldiers a couple of years ago,” the president said Friday after the Pentagon made waves by announcing the execution would be livestreamed to the public.
🔮 “So you have to ask yourself, why would they release these individuals back onto the streets?
🔮 The Affinity Partners CEO’s 14-point fact check begins by addressing allegations he raised $5 billion earlier this year for his private equity fund while helping negotiate on behalf of the Trump administration in the Middle East — something that would appear to be an obvious conflict of interest.
