Trump’s Twisted Revenge Plot Against Democratic Nemesis Exposed

Eric Lee / REUTERS The Trump administration is trying to strip Minnesota Rep.

Ilhan Omar of her citizenship and then deport her, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

Department of Homeland Security agents searched the Democratic lawmaker’s Washington, D.C.-area home on Monday, and a DOJ spokesperson told the Daily Beast at the time that the investigation centered around Omar’s immigration paperwork.

Omar, 44, is a naturalized citizen who emigrated from Somalia as a child.

In 1995, her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, brought her and other family members to the U.S. from a Kenyan refugee camp, where they had been living due to Somalia’s civil war.

She became a citizen when she was 17.

Investigators are looking into the actions of Omar’s deceased father, the Journal reports.

They have also issued subpoenas to some of the lawmaker’s relatives.

In a statement to the Journal Wednesday, Omar’s office reiterated that she has never committed immigration fraud: “President Trump would love to eliminate one of the most effective progressive voices in Congress.

There is no basis for this.” Trump, 80, has long criticized Omar.

In January, he wrote in a social media post, “‘Scammer’ Ilhan Omar and her absolutely terrible friends from Somalia should all be in jail right now, or far worse, send them back to Somalia.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast, nor did the Justice Department.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
