EXCERPT:
The foundation for Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s claim to be a United States citizen seems increasingly dubious.
The lawmaker’s citizenship status has been dominating headlines ever since her Washington, D.C., home was raided last week in what reports have said is a criminal case related to immigration issues.
Omar, whose family came to America from Somalia, claimed in 2018 that she became a citizen through her father.
“I became a citizen actually before I turned 18. My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process,” she said, according to The Intercept.
A report in the New York Post said that congressional staff pushed to have Omar’s official birth date in the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library changed from 1981 to 1982, which would align with her narrative.
Former political rival A.J. Kern said Omar “claims her citizenship narrative is that she derived citizenship through her father when she was a 17-year-old minor.”
