ILHAN OMAR: HOW PASSPORT FRAUD MAY BE ANOTHER AVENUE FOR PROSECUTION
Seasoned federal investigators know passport fraud may be another path to criminal charges.
18 U.S.C. § 1542 (False Statement in Application)
- Prohibits making any false statement in a passport application, using a passport obtained via false statements, or using a passport with an assumed/false name to hide criminal behavior
The 10-year statute of limitations on passport fraud is reset every time the individual renews their passport if the underlying application records, such as a Social Security Number, were obtained through fraud.
For example, the suspect lied about the true date and place of their birth to obtain a social security number.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: AMERICAN TERRORIST
This legal strategy was used to obtain a holding charge for the American terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki after 9/11.
Anwar al-Awlaki was a dual U.S.-Yemeni citizen.
The radical cleric, who became a top al Qaeda leader, was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where his parents lived at the time.
He later grew up in Yemen.
When it was time for college, Awlaki gamed the system.
He applied for tuition assistance through the State Department and USAID to finance his studies at Colorado State University.
Awlaki was not eligible for financial support as a U.S. citizen, so he used his Yemeni passport (and false claims about his birthplace) to secure roughly $20,000 in scholarship money.
It was the beginning of the big grift.
When the Joint Terrorism Task Force investigated Awlaki after 9/11 for his relationship and material support of hijackers in San Diego and Virginia, a seasoned federal investigator ran down the scholarship scam.
Unfortunately, the statute of limitations had run out on the USAID tuition fraud.
A State Department Diplomatic Security Agent then discovered Awlaki made false statements to secure a J-1 visa (a non-immigrant visa for educational purposes.)
Once in the U.S., Awlaki applied for a Social Security Number, falsely claiming he was born in Yemen.
Awlaki used the fraudulently obtained Social Security Number to fraudulently obtain a U.S. passport.
The 10-year statute of limitations reset every time the American terrorist renewed his passport.

We heard your speech. That's not what you said. You said freshly graduated kids should be scared of working in conservative politics because you and your friends would consider prosecuting them if you regain power.
You're not the victim here.
Henry Kissinger on Trump:
“Donald Trump is a phenomenon foreign countries have not seen before… the only true leader. The man is making changes like never before and he does everything for the good of the people of this nation. After eight years of tyranny, we finally see a difference.”
“Trump puts America and its people first. There’s nothing wrong with him and people need to open their eyes.”
He forces allies and enemies to recalculate after Obama’s withdrawal. The weak grow strong at the frontier; the strong grow weak by inhibition.
Trump is dismissing inhibitions and putting America first.
What Americans actually want:
1. Hillary held accountable
2. Put God back in America
3. Borders closed or protected
4. Congress on the same retirement & health plans as everyone else
5. Congress obeys its own laws
6. English as the language
7. Constitution & Bill of Rights
8. Drug-free America
9. No giveaways for non-citizens
10. Balance the budget
11. Stop sending money to foreign countries
12. Term limits for Congress
13. Respect our military, flag, and law enforcement
Trump is the only one speaking to this. We the people are coming.

Ilhan Omar calls her dad “an educator.” He was actually a colonel in Siad Barre’s army.
That’s the same regime behind the Isaaq genocide, where roughly 200,000 civilians were killed.
After Barre fell in 1991, Omar's family fled to a refugee camp in Kenya and came to the US in 1995. Her father would’ve had to hide his military record to get in.
The entire family's citizenship is fraudulent. They should all be removed from our country immediately.

Gina. We agree. CC is so awesome to watch but I found myself angry almost every game because of some BS issue.

All Jealous and petty.
Glad to get away. Thanks for all the likes and your comments this season.
I truly appreciate it!!
As first disclosed by @JudicialWatch, the Justice Department suggests in court filing that Ilhan Omar's name actually is "Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi" ... The document was filed today in a Judicial Watch legal action to gain access to "Omar's" search warrant materials.
BREAKING: Catherine Herridge just dropped a bombshell that could change everything about the Ilhan Omar case...and it has nothing to do with what federal agents were looking for in Monday's raid.
Herridge is reporting that seasoned federal investigators see passport fraud as another potential avenue for criminal prosecution.
The statute at the center of it: 18 U.S.C. § 1542 — False Statement in Application. It prohibits making false statements on a passport application, using a passport obtained through false statements, or using a passport under an assumed or false name to hide criminal behavior.
And here's the part that should worry Omar's legal team: the 10-year statute of limitations on passport fraud resets every single time the individual renews their passport — if the underlying application records, such as a Social Security Number, were obtained through fraud.
So why does that matter here? Remember the birthdate change. Omar's staff had her publicly listed birth year changed from 1981 to 1982 back in May 2019. If someone lied about their true date and place of birth to obtain a Social Security Number, that fraud doesn't expire the way most people think it does. Every passport renewal restarts the clock.
And federal investigators have run this exact playbook before.
After 9/11, when the Joint Terrorism Task Force investigated Anwar al-Awlaki — the American-born cleric who became a top al Qaeda leader — a seasoned investigator ran down a scholarship scam: Awlaki had used his Yemeni passport and false claims about his birthplace to secure roughly $20,000 in USAID tuition money for Colorado State University. But the statute of limitations on the tuition fraud had already run out.
So a State Department Diplomatic Security agent found another way in. Awlaki had made false statements to secure a J-1 visa, then used a fraudulently obtained Social Security Number — falsely claiming he was born in Yemen — to obtain a U.S. passport. The passport fraud became the holding charge. Every renewal reset the 10-year clock.
Herridge's reporting doesn't say charges are coming. But it lays out a roadmap that federal investigators have walked before, and successfully.
BREAKING: the federal search warrant against Ilhan Omar names her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar," indicating that DOJ believes she is present in the United States under a false identity!
