Trump Admin Looking To Strip Ilhan Omar's Citizenship, Then Deport Her; Passport Seized In Raid

What happened: The Trump administration is seeking to strip Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of her US citizenship and deport her, per US officials cited by the Wall Street Journal. DHS agents searched her Washington home Monday and seized her passport, phone, computers and notebooks. Key numbers: Omar became a citizen in 2000. Why it matters: The age question decides whether she derived citizenship through a parent or needed her own process. Civil denaturalization has no statute of limitations, unlike the ten-year window for criminal naturalization fraud. Her office denies any basis for the case.
