Trump Border Czar Says Administration Could Strip Ilhan Omar of Citizenship
Trump's border czar says the administration could strip Ilhan Omar of citizenship and deport her, citing alleged immigration violations.
Politics
Tom Homan, the official dubbed "border czar" by former President Donald Trump, told Fox News on Saturday that the administration could "of course" revoke Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar's U.S. citizenship and deport her.
Homan's remarks are the first time a senior Trump administration figure has explicitly linked denaturalization and deportation to Omar by name, following a federal raid on the Minnesota lawmaker's home on Oct. 12.
Officials allege that Omar or members of her family may have broken the law to obtain her citizenship, though no formal charges have been announced.
Why It Matters
The statement raises concerns about political use of immigration enforcement in the United States and could influence debates on citizenship rights.
