Trump ‘border czar’ says Ilhan Omar could be ‘of course’ denaturalized and deported

Summary

Tom Homan, a top official in President Trump’s administration, said it is possible to take away Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s U.S. citizenship and deport her if she lied during the naturalization process. The government is investigating whether Omar or her family broke any laws while getting citizenship, and her home was recently searched by federal agents as part of this inquiry.
