Tap title to read story
Tom Homan, Donald Trump’s border czar, stated that the administration could denaturalize and deport Representative Ilhan Omar if evidence shows she lied during naturalization. Homan made the remarks on Fox News on Saturday, the same day federal agents raided Omar’s home in Minnesota.
The raid, conducted on 12 October, sparked backlash and accusations that the Trump administration is weaponizing the federal government to target a political rival. The investigation, launched weeks before the November midterm elections, seeks to determine whether Omar or her family violated citizenship laws. Omar, a naturalized citizen from Somalia, denies the allegations and has accused the Justice Department of election interference.
The comments come amid a broader Trump‑era push to denaturalize foreign‑born citizens who allegedly obtained citizenship fraudulently. As of April, the Justice Department had identified nearly four hundred such cases nationwide. The investigation into Omar reflects the administration’s continued focus
