1) Allegations about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s finances
- The Biden DOJ opened a 2024 investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s finances, campaign spending, and interactions with a foreign citizen, citing reporting from The New York Times.
- Donald Trump’s social posts asserting Omar went from “nothing” to “over $44M,” and shows Omar’s rebuttal on X calling it panic and conspiracy, saying years of probes found nothing.
- Cites Washington Free Beacon/Breitbart claims that Omar and her husband’s net worth grew to $6–$30M by end of 2024, a ~3,500% increase in one year, allegedly tied to her husband’s winery and venture capital firm.
- A winery purportedly not operating (closed tasting room/website, no phone), questioning how its value rose to ~$5M; the segment uses sarcasm to imply corruption.
- Rep. James Comer is planning to subpoena Omar’s husband regarding the couple’s wealth.
2) Minneapolis incident involving Alex Pretti
- Alex Pretti had a prior physical encounter with federal agents about a week before being shot and killed during a later confrontation; says CNN reported he suffered a broken rib from an earlier tackle during protests.
- States that Pretti was “known” to federal law enforcement and that he was armed during the fatal struggle, emphasizing that CBP’s use‑of‑force policy allows deadly force when there’s imminent danger.

- Includes a 2010 Obama quote asserting that indiscriminate legalization is unwise/unfair and that the U.S. must enforce border laws—used to argue Democrats once supported stronger enforcement.
- Features Tom Homan’s TV appearance listing arrests of non‑citizens with serious charges and contending that sanctuary policies endanger communities by forcing at‑large arrests rather than jail pickups.
