Ilhan Omar home searched: Days after US government officials raided the home of Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar as part of what's being called a "federal criminal investigation", speculations are rife that she may face legal challenge to her citizenship. This could only happen if investigators establish that she obtained her citizenship through material misrepresentation. Earlier this week, US immigration agents searched the home of Omar, a Democrat and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump. The search "is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation", the US justice department spokesperson said.
The investigations into Rep. Ilhan Omar have raised questions about whether she could be stripped of her citizenship and deported, reports The Wall Street Journal. The predawn raid on Omar stemmed from an expanding investigation into her US immigration paperwork, three people familiar with the case told news agency Reuters.
