3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 18%, with $27 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the House holds any recorded vote on a resolution to expel Representative Ilhan Omar, or on related motions like tabling or referring that resolution, before January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if no such recorded vote occurs within this timeframe.
  • Ilhan Omar arrested by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 11%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The Yes outcome triggers if Ilhan Omar is taken into physical custody by law enforcement before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. This requires her to be criminally booked, held for court proceedings, or transported to a police station. Readers often mistake the issuance of an arrest warrant or being named in an indictment as sufficient, but these events do not count without actual physical custody.
  • Ilhan Omar federally charged by December 31? — the market puts it at 22%, with $252 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if federal authorities formally charge or indict Ilhan Omar by 11:59 PM ET on December 31. It resolves to No if no such action occurs within that timeframe. Readers often mistake a raid or investigation for an actual criminal charge.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
