US President Donald Trump has said that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from
Minnesota, could face prison as well as deportation as federal authorities investigate
questions surrounding her immigration records.

 

Asked at the Oval Office whether Omar could be deported if there is a problem with
her age, Trump said: “Well, she could be. She could also go to jail.”

 

“You know, they keep talking about deportation. No, she could go to jail. This is
just my opinion,” he said.

 

Trump called Omar “a disgrace to our country” and accused her of hating the US, 
while making derogatory remarks about Somalia, her country of birth.

 

“This is just my opinion — I think she’s a sick, a very dishonest person who hates
our country,” he said.

 

“And she comes from a country that is essentially not even a country. Somalia. It’s
a real s***house, OK?”

 

The remarks came during an event announcing a fraud-tip incentive programme and 
follow a recent federal search of Omar’s Washington home.

 

Homeland Security investigators executed a search warrant as part of an immigration-
related inquiry.

 

Federal agents searched Representative Omar’s house earlier this month in an immigration
fraud probe targeting the congresswoman over possible false statements made on government
documents and a potential conspiracy.

 

Homeland Security agents seized her phone, laptops, notebooks, and passport.

 

Investigators are examining whether Omar or her late father lied about her age when
she obtained citizenship in 2000.

 

Omar denied the accusations, saying she came to the US at age 12 in 1995 and gained
citizenship at 17.

 

The _Wall Street Journal_ reported that the Trump administration is seeking to revoke
her citizenship and eventually deport her.

 

Federal investigators questioned Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, after searching Omar’s
Washington, DS home as part of an immigration fraud probe.

 

Omar condemned the raid as politically motivated.

 

“Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponise federal
law enforcement,” she wrote on X. “This is just the latest escalation in his campaign
of political intimidation.”

 

Omar, the US’ first Somali American member of Congress, has served in the US House
of Representatives since 2019.

 

To strip citizenship, the Justice Department must file a federal lawsuit proving
material fraud.

 

This comes after the New York Post reported that US federal prosecutors are reportedly
considering using DNA evidence to support allegations of immigration fraud against
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as part of a broader investigation into the congresswoman.

 

One source said the DNA evidence was critical to proving an allegation that Omar
married her brother when she wed Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 because she was trying
to help him get a green card, which never came to fruition.

  TL;DR (AI Generated)

President Trump stated that Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar could face prison
and potential deportation amid an ongoing federal immigration fraud investigation
involving her records and background.

Homeland Security investigators recently searched Omar's Washington home and seized
electronics and documents as part of the probe into possible false statements and
a conspiracy regarding her citizenship and family ties.

Omar has strongly denied the accusations, condemning the investigation as a politically
motivated attempt at intimidation by the administration.
