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.

It was the charge of immigration fraud that drove the denaturalization and deportation of so many Nazi war criminals in the 80’s and 90’s, and proved a highly successful legal basis.
