Ilhan Omar’s naturalized citizenship is probably invalid for three reasons.
1) Her father allegedly lied on his asylum application. Nur Omar Mohamed wasn’t fleeing the violent genocidal Siad Barre regime in Somalia. He was part of it. He was a Colonel in the regime’s Army, likely specializing in propaganda. If he failed to disclose this on his asylum paperwork, that’s fraud. He, and his daughter Ilhan, would have entered the United States fraudulently.
2) Ilhan Omar claims she derived naturalized citizenship from her father. That’s a technical term. In order to qualify for “derived” naturalization, you must be a minor. 17 years old or younger. Ilhan Omar was naturalized in 2000, at age 17. Or was she? Public records during her time in the Minnesota state legislature show her birthdate as Oct 4, 1981, which would make her 18 at the time of naturalization, which would mean she was ineligible for it. When someone pointed this out after she was elected to Congress, Ilhan Omar had her congressional staff revise her birth date in public records, shifting it from 1981 to 1982. If she knowingly lied about her birth year, her naturalization is fraudulent.
3) To “derive” naturalization from her father, it is also required that Ilhan Omar’s father was in fact a naturalized citizen. But DHS has no record of Ilhan Omar’s father’s naturalization paperwork. Once someone dies, their naturalization paperwork becomes public record and anyone can FOIA request it. When FOIA’d, USCIS (the sub agency at DHS responsible for all naturalization paperwork), said they had no paperwork for Ilhan Omar’s father. If he was not naturalized, Ilhan Omar could not legally derive naturalized citizenship from him.
Ignore the MSM hacks who are claiming “Trump’s raid on Ilhan Omar violates all norms!” No. What violates norms is breaking the law and fraudulently entering our country. If we don’t enforce laws when they are broken, we have no country.
We are facing the very real possibility that a Somali foreign national who hates America defrauded her way into the U.S. Congress.
Denaturalize her. Deport her.
