At Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) called to subpoena the immigration records of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and her ex-husband.
During a House Oversight & Accountability Committee hearing on Minnesota fraud allegations (the committee’s “Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part I” hearing), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) offered a motion to subpoena immigration/naturalization records tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and individuals connected to her family and prior marriages. Mace argued the records were relevant to potential legislative reforms on immigration fraud and denaturalization processes.
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) responded by offering an amendment that would direct subpoenas toward records involving Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL)—including documents about his military service record and business dealings—framing it as a reciprocal step given that a sitting Democratic member was being targeted.
A procedural fight then broke out over whether Oversight should be investigating sitting members at all (several members argued that the House Ethics Committee is the proper venue, even if Oversight has broad investigative authority). In the end, Garcia withdrew his Mills-related amendment and instead made a motion to table Mace’s subpoena motion. The committee agreed to table it—meaning the subpoena effort did not move forward in that moment.
