Story summary

Tom Homan, Donald Trump’s “border czar”, stated on Fox News that Ilhan Omar, a Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, could be stripped of her citizenship and deported if investigators find evidence of immigration fraud. This came after federal agents raided Omar's home on October 12th, searching for potential violations in her family's immigration paperwork when they fled Somalia in the late 1990s. The investigation has sparked significant backlash, with critics accusing the Trump administration of targeting a political opponent weeks before the November midterm elections. Former President Barack Obama also defended Omar, calling the federal probe an attempt to intimidate her for criticizing the White House.
