DHS says it does not comment on ongoing investigations and that “no one, including members of Congress, are above the law”

The case’s fixed reference point is the Trump administration’s public accusation that Rep. Ilhan Omar married her brother to obtain immigration benefits, together with its announced federal criminal investigation of her. The statement declines to confirm or discuss any investigation, citing a policy of not commenting on ongoing investigations, and adds a general statement that no one is above the law without repeating or endorsing the accusation. The closest competing label is defends_or_excuses, because of the “no one … above the law” line; it loses because that line is generic and the statement neither repeats Mullin’s claim nor confirms a probe.
