Sources reveal Rep. Ilhan Omar's name isn't her real name, and a Justice Department filing in federal court in D.C. now lists her under a different name, raising new legal questions for the Somali-born Minnesota Democrat. Trump's DOJ is going after federal judges in Minnesota over their immigration comments, while a federal judge in California just blocked DHS from continuing certain noncitizen-voting investigations in California and eight other states. In Los Angeles, federal prosecutors charged 15 people, including six medical professionals, in alleged health care fraud schemes totaling about $2 billion in false claims.
