US probes Ilhan Omar citizenship, deportation threat escalates

US federal authorities have escalated an investigation into Representative Ilhan Omar's immigration process and citizenship status, including a raid on her home and seizure of her phone, as well as the seizure of her sister's phone. The Trump administration reportedly reopened the probe, which is widely perceived as politically motivated, with some sources claiming the objective is to revoke her citizenship and deport her. The legal basis and full scope of the investigation remain unclear.
