前国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆表示，联邦特工周一突袭众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔（民主党-明尼苏达州）的住所后，她曾被保证，如果这位议员被发现犯有移民欺诈罪，将“受到追究”。
Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said she was assured that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) would be “held accountable” if the lawmaker were found to have committed immigration fraud after federal agents raided her home Monday.
诺姆在3月被特朗普总统解职，此前她领导该部门的任期充满动荡。她周四在接受保守派评论员本尼·约翰逊的采访时表示，她相信奥马尔“最终将为其犯下的罪行受到追究”。特朗普及其他知名共和党人士多次就奥马尔的移民身份提出指控，指控这位索马里出生的议员为获得美国公民身份而与其兄弟结婚——奥马尔对此予以否认。
Noem, who President Trump fired in March after a tumultuous stint leading the department, said in a Thursday interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson that she was confident Omar “will finally be held accountable for the crimes that she’s committed.”Trump and other prominent Republican figures have levied numerous allegations against Omar over her immigration status, accusing the Somali native of marrying her brother in order to obtain U.S. citizenship — which she has denied.
当被问及她认为奥马尔可能犯下哪些移民罪行时，这位前国土安全部部长指出，该机构会审查所有寻求公民身份的申请人的家庭关系。
When pressed about which immigration crimes she believes Omar may have committed, the former DHS chief pointed to the agency’s practice of examining all familial ties to any applicant seeking citizenship.
“如果你回去发现有任何可能存在错误或虚假陈述的情况，那就会使其公民身份失效或取消，”诺姆说。
“If you go back and find that anything could be wrong or misrepresented, that’s when it voids or cancels out their citizenship,” Noem said.
奥马尔与这位前国土安全部部长多次就明尼苏达州的联邦移民行动发生冲突。诺姆在该部门负责期间，正值几场高调的移民执法行动及随后的抗议活动，以及美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）特工在明尼苏达州杀害两名美国公民的事件。
Omar and the former Homeland Security secretary have repeatedly clashed over federal immigration operations in Minnesota. Noem was in charge of the department at the height of several prominent immigration enforcement operations and subsequent protests, as well as the killings of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota by Immigration and Enforcement (ICE) agents.
这位议员指责诺姆散布“谎言和宣传”，抨击时任部长关于移民执法官员主要针对伤害儿童的无证移民的说法。
The lawmaker accused Noem of spreading “lies and propaganda” over ICE agents’ arrests in Minnesota, ripping the then secretary’s claims that immigration enforcement officers were primarily targeting undocumented immigrations who had harmed children.
特朗普政府去年宣布将对奥马尔涉嫌移民欺诈启动刑事调查。国土安全部调查局（HSI）特工周一突袭了这位议员在华盛顿特区的住所。
The Trump administration last year announced it would launch a criminal investigation into Omar for alleged immigration fraud. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents raided the lawmaker’s Washington D.C. home on Monday.
这位明尼苏达州民主党人随后发布了一封聚焦该调查的筹款电子邮件，呼吁支持者“与伊尔汉·奥马尔站在一起”。电子邮件写道：“唐纳德·特朗普和国土安全部对伊尔汉·奥马尔发起了一场毫无根据的党派调查，在他们升级攻击时，她需要我们站在她身边。”
The Minnesota Democrat subsequently released a fundraising email focused on the investigation, calling for supporters to “Stand with Ilhan Omar.”“Donald Trump and DHS have opened a baseless, partisan investigation into Ilhan Omar, and she needs us by her side as they escalate their attacks,” the email reads.
“请尽你所能捐款，确保伊尔汉能够击败特朗普，并在国会继续为我们的进步价值观而战。”
“Chip in whatever you can to make sure Ilhan can beat Trump and keep fighting for our progressive values in Congress.”
