Homan says Omar could be denaturalized, deported if fraud is proven
White House border czar Tom Homan said Rep. Ilhan Omar could lose her citizenship and be deported if investigators confirm immigration fraud, and that investigators have a "strong case."
Tom Homan, the White House border czar, said Rep. Ilhan Omar could be denaturalized and deported if it is confirmed that she committed immigration fraud. Fox News reports the condition as part of his remarks. Homan spoke to Fox News on Saturday.
The Guardian reports Homan said the administration could "of course" strip the Minnesota Democrat of her citizenship and deport her. It says these were the first remarks to name denaturalization and deportation in connection with Omar from a top Trump administration official, attributed to that official by name, since federal agents raided her home on 12 October.
The Hill reports Homan said federal investigators have a "strong case" in a criminal investigation of Omar over possible immigration fraud. It says investigators told him they have been following the matter. Its report is cut off at that point.
The Guardian says officials allege that Omar or her family broke the law to obtain citizenship. The reports describe no evidence, and none mention charges.
