Vote To Remove Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar From Congress Being Considered By Republican Congressman

Washington, D.C. - May 31, 2026

Republican Congressman Signals Potential Expulsion Vote for Rep. Ilhan Omar, Introduces “Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act” to Ban Dual Citizenship in Congress

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) is openly considering a floor vote to expel Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the House of Representatives as fresh inquiries examine long-standing allegations tied to her personal background. The Florida Republican said the effort would advance depending on the results of ongoing reviews into claims that Omar entered a marriage with her brother.

“We’re waiting to get the data on the brother marriage thing, which I think is coming,” Fine said during an interview. “If it turns out that that is actually the reality, will there be a vote on the floor to expel this woman from Congress? Absolutely.”

At the same time, Fine has introduced the Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act, a measure that would bar members of Congress from holding dual citizenship and require exclusive allegiance to the United States. The legislation aims to eliminate potential conflicts of interest for lawmakers who handle classified information and shape national policy.

“The bottom line is that you can’t serve two masters,” Fine said. “If you’re going to serve in the United States Congress, you should serve America ONLY.”

“It’s not just about the vote,” Harris said. “It’s about access to our national security secrets. They get to learn things that people from their home countries would never get to know.”

Harris noted that several lawmakers were born outside the United States and questioned whether all prior allegiances had been formally renounced. Supporters argue the proposal reinforces American interests at the highest levels of government and addresses concerns that some elected officials may prioritize foreign ties.

The bill would apply to both the House and Senate, forcing lawmakers to relinquish any foreign citizenship to retain their seats. However, it faces steep obstacles in the Democrat-controlled Senate, where similar measures have stalled.

“The Senate will never, ever pass it,” Harris said. “But we want to get it done […] it’s about Americans first.”

Fine described the legislation as part of a longer-term effort to raise standards for federal office and restore public confidence in Congress. Any expulsion vote would require a two-thirds majority in the House — a high bar that has rarely been met in modern history. No formal proceedings have been scheduled, and the outcome remains uncertain as investigations continue.

The renewed focus on Omar highlights deepening partisan divides over loyalty, eligibility and national security within Congress. Republicans view the dual-pronged push as a necessary defense of American sovereignty, while critics warn it risks politicizing citizenship and targeting specific members without sufficient evidence.
