Trump once again spoke about Somalia and announced that Ilhan Omar may face imprisonment

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated that Ilhan Omar, a member of the Democratic Party from Minnesota, may face imprisonment as well as deportation while an investigation is underway regarding her federal travel, which aims to determine if she falsely claimed her age when she became a U.S. citizen.

When asked by the Oval Office if Omar could be deported if there is an issue regarding her age, Trump said: "Well, it could happen. She could also go to prison."

"You know, they continue to talk about deportation. No, she could go to prison. This is just my opinion," he said.

Federal agents searched Representative Omar's home earlier this month as part of a corruption investigation targeting the congresswoman regarding false statements made in government documents and a potential conspiracy.

Homeland Security agents seized her phone, laptop, notebooks, and her passport.

Investigators are looking into whether Ilhan or her deceased father falsely reported her age when she obtained citizenship in 2000.

Ilhan has denied the allegations, stating that she arrived in the U.S. at the age of 12 in 1995 and obtained citizenship at the age of 17.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration wants to revoke her citizenship and ultimately deport her.

Federal investigators questioned Sahra Noor, who is Ilhan Omar's sister, after they conducted a search at Ilhan's home in Washington, D.C., as part of an investigation related to immigration fraud.

Ilhaan Cumar has condemned the operation, describing it as politically motivated.

"Do not doubt that this is an attempt to target those opposed to the political agenda, using federal law enforcement agencies for political interests," she wrote on X. "This is the latest step in strengthening the campaign to intimidate those opposed to the political agenda."
