Ilhan Omar Probe Aims to Revoke Her Citizenship

October 14, 2026 · 7:06 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The multipronged effort is focused at least in part on how Omar obtained her citizenship after she arrived in the U.S. from Somalia decades ago. Investigators are focused both on the congresswoman and actions of her deceased father… Nur Omar Mohamed brought his daughter and other family members to the U.S. from a refugee camp in Kenya in 1995.”

Washington Sun: Ilhan Omar’s phone was seized and relatives were subpoenaed for criminal probe.
