Former President Barack Obama accused President Donald Trump and his administration of weaponizing the federal government against its political opponents, including Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar, who is currently under investigation for her citizenship. Obama is accusing the administration of revoking Somali-born Omar’s U.S. citizenship, warning that their actions could establish a troubling precedent.
“It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say,” Obama wrote on X. “But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.”
