🚨BREAKING: Ilhan Omar could lose her citizenship for three reasons, and federal investigators are now examining the paperwork. 1. Her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, was a colonel in the Somali National Army under Siad Barre. She has described him as an educator. If he failed to disclose that military role on his asylum application, the family’s entry was fraudulent. 2. Omar says she received derivative citizenship through her father in 2000 while still a minor. For years, public records listed her birth year as 1981, which would have made her 18 and ineligible. After she entered Congress, her staff had the birth year changed to 1982. She says the earlier date was a mistake. 3. Derivative naturalization requires that the parent was actually naturalized. Questions remain about whether complete records of her father’s naturalization exist. Investigators are focused on whether the birth date was altered so she could qualify as a minor. Agents searched her home this week. She has denied wrongdoing. The Constitution requires members of Congress to be citizens. If any of these three points holds up, her citizenship can be revoked. The investigation is active.
