Trump-era probe seeks to denaturalize and deport Ilhan Omar

Original: Ilhan Omar investigation seeks to denaturalize and deport congresswoman

A federal immigration investigation is reportedly seeking to revoke the US citizenship of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and potentially deport her. Omar, a Somali refugee who became a naturalized citizen, has denounced the effort as politically motivated. The move has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats and civil rights groups who call it an unprecedented targeting of a sitting member of Congress.

Why now: News that the government is pursuing denaturalization against a sitting congresswoman is an extraordinary escalation in immigration and political conflict.
