Ilhan Omar’s Citizenship Nightmare Just Got Worse,

Incoming House Minority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) on Wednesday night time said that the Justice Department is “finalizing” its review of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) delivery date, and that it’s just one of “four different things” being seemed at in the federal probe.

Pressed on whether or not House Republicans would need a vote to expel his Minnesota colleague if she’s indicted, Emmer told Newsmax it will not be needed.

“I don’t think we’re going to need to,” he said. “I think Ilhan Omar, she’s a dishonest, anti-American individual who has lied about her age for years.”

“What I’m saying is the birth date is an administrative procedure, and once it’s established that she was over the age of 18 when she claimed to be a minor, she’s no longer a citizen of the United States,” Emmer claimed. “And when she’s no longer a citizen, she’s not entitled to serve in Congress.”

No denaturalization case has been filed, and revoking citizenship usually has to go through a court, so Emmer’s idea is just that – a idea. Omar has denied the allegations and has not been charged.

As RedState reported in October, Omar’s congressional workers requested the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library in May 2019 to change her listed delivery 12 months from 1981 to 1982 — a one-year shift that makes her derivative-citizenship story work.

The request got here a number of months after she was elected to Congress, and shortly after a video from a political opponent went viral questioning whether or not she had precisely said her age.

NEW from the @nypost: Ilhan Omar’s congressional workers received her official delivery 12 months modified from 1981 to 1982 in May 2019, months after she took workplace. Why does one 12 months matter? She says she grew to become a citizen through her father at 17, in 2000. Born in 1981, she’d have been 18 that entire 12 months and one 12 months is the distinction between her citizenship story working and not. “For derivative citizenship, two things have to be true — one, her father had to naturalize; and two, she still had to be a minor.” That one 12 months issues a lot.

Embedded tweet continues:

… that entire 12 months and one 12 months is the distinction between her citizenship story working and not. “For derivative citizenship, two things have to be true — one, her father had to naturalize; and two, she still had to be a minor.” That one 12 months issues a lot.

For years, the 1981 date had appeared in the library’s information, on Wikipedia, and in media experiences, including during her time in the Minnesota House.

“On May 17, 2019, Library staff were informed by Rep. Omar’s congressional staff that her birth year was incorrect and requested that we change it to 1982,” the library director later confirmed in writing, noting that her workers was also working to update Wikipedia and the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.

Omar has long said she obtained by-product citizenship through her father when he naturalized in 2000 and that she was still a minor then, but a 1981 delivery 12 months would have made her 18 or 19 that 12 months, disqualifying her as a minor.

Emmer didn’t develop on the other three issues being investigated concerning Omar. The Washington Post reported that a federal investigation into potential false statements on immigration paperwork is concentrated in half on her delivery date and associated citizenship paperwork, an inquiry that not too long ago included a search of her Washington residence and subpoenas issued to relations.

“HSI was just looking at her file top to bottom,” a Trump administration official told the outlet.

The congresswoman handily received reelection in last week’s midterms and taunted the Trump administration during her victory speech.

“When they decided that they were going to come for me, they thought that they were going to find someone who was going to cower,” Omar said. “They thought they were going to find a community that was going to live in fear. They thought that if you attacked me and you silenced me, that my community wouldn’t show up and vote.”

Winning more than 76 p.c of the vote in one of the nation’s bluest congressional districts is ok, and her fiery feedback will stir up the bottom, but it does not change her predicament.
