Could Trump revoke Ilhan Omar's citizenship for alleged brother marriage? Ex federal prosecutor breaks it down

The Trump administration's recent effort to bring the law down on Rep. Ilhan Omar could go as far as seeking to strip the Minnesota congresswoman of her citizenship for alleged immigration fraud. But a criminal investigation is unlikely to yield the results the president wants, according to a former federal prosecutor.

Michael Wildes, an immigration attorney, told Fox News Digital that investigators face a "very high bar" to build a case against Omar after White House border czar Tom Homan confirmed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is conducting a "criminal" investigation against the progressive "Squad" member.

It all stems from claims that Omar married her brother to gain U.S. citizenship, which she has repeatedly denied.

President Donald Trump has a longstanding feud with Omar going back to when she was first elected in the middle of his first term, and quickly became one of his most vocal critics in Congress. Trump has repeatedly called for Omar to be sent back to Somalia because of her alleged fraudulent activity.

The Trump administration continues to ramp up efforts to denaturalize and deport individuals accused of immigration fraud. And Vice President JD Vance claimed earlier this year that the Department of Justice is investigating Omar for alleged fraud and immigration violations.

But questions remain over what a potential prosecution and denaturalization case against the Somali-born lawmaker would require.

Do it.

The Trump administration seized Milo and had him back to England in a matter of hours. They could and should do the same to Omar.

  Thursday night, New Orleans. I have flown in from Los Angeles for work and am walking off the jet bridge, thinking about dinner, when 15 men in vests coalesce around me. I have never been arrested before. Even they find it strange, because I am British, and I am in Balenciaga, and I am ever so nice about it all. They take my belt, wallet, every piece of identification, my rosary and Missal, cash. They put me in chains. Real chains. Every man they arrest, whatever he has done, ends up garlanded in steel like this: wincing, hopping, clattering. It...

Ship the thieving Muzzie terrorist ho back to Somalia. She’s not an American.

I was hoping she wasn’t a US Citizen - overlooked before this but no such luck. I never heard of “derivation” but learned something new... Kinda makes one wonder WHY the brother didn’t come over with the parent and go through the same procedure? Ilhan has been a citizen longer than Melania Trump..DRAT!!

Ilhan Omar arrived in the United States in 1995 as a refugee from a Somali refugee camp in Kenya, after her family fled the Somali civil war factually.cofactually.co+1. She has stated in interviews that she became a U.S. citizen through derivation when her father naturalized, which is a legal process allowing children under 18 to automatically acquire citizenship when a parent becomes a citizen factually.cofactually.co+1. Mainstream reporting consistently cites the year 2000 as the approximate time of her naturalization, though exact documentation has not been publicly released factually.cofactually.co+1.

Are there ANY of our laws she has not broken?

[MeanWestTexan]

Milo is not a citizen. Huge distinction, in that non-citizens largely reside in the USA as a matter of discretion.

Revoking citizenship of the muslim grifter would require a showing of fraud in her application of citizenship.

Now, she probably did commit fraud, but it’s a much harder process.

I read somewhere that her father was a big player in Somalia and as Governor or some such implemented a genocide on a rival tribe.

PS had 4 sessions of radiation for a small cancer on my pelvis.

Problem is an inoperable tumor under my liver and cancerous lymph nodes. My former spouse had similar conditions and pneumatic fibrosis and lasted 6 months.

My bet is at least a year before I get admitted to the Hospice facility.

I’ll believe it when I see it. For some reason democrap politicians in this country have infinite immunity when it comes to crime.

A sitting fake President commits the single biggest act of treason ever committed against the USA by opening the border to foreign gangs, foreign military, foreign spies, criminals, drug mules, rapists, killers, pedos? Perfectly fine!

Attempted coup of a sitting POTUS using a Russia collusion hoax? Oh that’s perfectly fine, not even shifty Schiff gets indicted for it.

But a former POTUS gets his residence raided by the FBI for having documents he had every right to have. What-a-freakin joke.

I was hoping she wasn’t a US Citizen - overlooked before this but no such luck. I never heard of “derivation” but learned something new..

She would derive citizenship from her naturalized father IF she was 17 or younger when he naturalized. There is an investigation that is seeking to determine if she and her father lied about her age at the time he naturalized. If she was over 17 when he naturalized: she did not derive U.S. citizenship and she and her father would be guilty of fraud.

From Foxnews: "The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating, with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) reportedly involved. Border czar Tom Homan confirmed that DHS is conducting a criminal investigation; Vice President J.D. Vance has also said the Department of Justice is investigating alleged immigration fraud. The age question concerns whether Omar was under 18 when her father naturalized in 2000."

How was he allowed to even become a citizen of the US with that kind of record. No checks made on these people?

That’s a tough row to hoe...FR will be hoping and praying for successful treatment..We should all count our blessings...which are many.
