众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔（民主党-明尼苏达州）在副总统万斯表示司法部（DOJ）正在调查她可能存在的移民欺诈行为后，称其“妄想狂”，此前一天联邦特工在华盛顿对其住所进行了突袭。
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) called Vice President Vance “delusional” after he said the Justice Department (DOJ) is investigating her for possible immigration fraud, a day after federal agents raided her home in Washington.
“事情根本没有发生，”奥马尔在记者询问其言论时回应道，“奥马尔告诉记者，当被问及万斯的言论时，‘那个人妄想狂。’”明尼苏达州民主党人还在被问及她是否相信调查会揭露不法行为时予以反驳。“绝对不会，”她说。
“That is not something that is happening," Omar responded, when asked by a reporter about the comments," Omar told a reporter when asked about Vance’s comments. "That man is delusional." The Minnesota Democrat also pushed back when asked if she believed the probe would uncover wrongdoing.
万斯周二在安德鲁斯联合基地告诉记者，他事先对这次突袭一无所知。
“Absolutely not," she said.
周二晚些时候，他在接受福克斯新闻数字版采访时表示，特朗普政府将允许司法部在不进行政治干预的情况下调查奥马尔，但表示如果调查人员发现移民欺诈的证据，可能会采取法律行动。“我们将让调查自然发展，”他补充道。
Vance told reporters Tuesday at Joint Base Andrews that he had no advance knowledge of the raid. In an interview with Fox News Digital later Tuesday, the vice president said the Trump administration would allow the DOJ to investigate Omar without political interference, but said legal action could follow if investigators uncovered evidence of immigration fraud.
此次调查源自共和党人士过去提出的指控，称奥马尔曾与其兄弟结婚以获取美国公民身份。
“We're gonna let the investigation unfold,” he added.
万斯在五月曾表示，“你读到的关于伊尔汉·奥马尔……她嫁给了谁，以及她是否没有嫁给这个人或那个人。这显然看起来有点可疑，但每个人在法律面前都有权享有平等正义。”奥马尔一直否认这些已经流传约十年的指控，并称这些说法是出于政治动机。
The probe stemmed from past allegations raised by GOP figures that Omar married her brother in order to obtain U.S. citizenship. Vance in May said, “You read the things about Ilhan Omar … who she married and whether she didn’t marry this person or that person. It certainly seems like something fishy is there, but everybody’s entitled to equal justice under the law.”
白宫边境事务沙皇汤姆·霍曼上个月证实，鉴于这些指控，将对这位进步派议员的历史展开刑事调查。
Omar has denied the allegations, which have circulated for roughly a decade now, and called the claims politically motivated.
周一，国土安全部调查局的联邦特工凭经法院授权的搜查令搜查了奥马尔的住所。她谴责了此次突袭，指责总统特朗普在针对他的政治对手，并将此次搜查描述为一种恐吓策略。
White House border czar Tom Homan confirmed last month that a criminal investigation into the progressive lawmaker's history will take place in light of the allegations. On Monday, federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations searched Omar’s home using a court-authorized search warrant.
“我没事。请不要误会：这其实是一种针对政治对手的企图，目的是将联邦执法部门变成政治工具，”她在社交平台 X 上写道。“十年来，特朗普一直用毫无根据的谎言和诽谤手段来攻击我。”
She has condemned the raid, accusing President Trump of targeting his political adversaries and describing the search as an intimidation tactic. “I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement,” she wrote on social platform X. “For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns."
她继续说道：“这只是他政治恐吓行为的最新表现罢了。”这位民主党人士多次与特朗普发生争执；尤其是在特朗普因明尼苏达州的一起大规模欺诈丑闻而针对索马里难民后，双方的紧张关系进一步升级。
She continued, "This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.”The Democrat has repeatedly sparred with Trump, with tensions rising in particular after the president went after Somalians in connection to a widespread fraud scandal in Minnesota.
特朗普曾多次攻击索马里难民，并称那位来自索马里的奥马尔为“垃圾”。
Trump has attacked Somalian refugees numerous times and has called Omar, a Somali native, “garbage.”
