The Trump administration is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., in an effort to build a case to revoke her U.S. citizenship and potentially deport her, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday night. The investigation focuses on whether Omar or her late father misrepresented her age on immigration documents decades ago, potentially allowing her to obtain citizenship automatically through her father’s naturalization. Omar became a U.S. citizen in 2000 after arriving from Somalia with her family in 1995.
