A federal investigation into U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, a Somali-born Democrat critical of Israel, is reportedly aimed at building a case to revoke her American citizenship and deport her, according to a Wednesday report by The Wall Street Journal. The investigation is examining how Omar obtained her U.S. citizenship, with authorities reviewing her immigration history and family records. This comes weeks after federal agents searched Omar's Washington D.C. home, seizing items including her mobile phone, notebooks, personal computers, and passport. The Justice Department stated the action was part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. Omar, who is running for re-election in the upcoming midterm elections, criticized the search as an effort by the Trump administration to intimidate political opponents. Her office released a statement calling the operation a "precedent" intended to "harass and undermine political opponents" by using federal law enforcement as a weapon, vowing not to remain silent.
