  "The 'fraud' to them, is in Omar’s claim to the dignity of equal citizenship; in the idea that a woman, born in Somalia, might be as equally and powerfully American as they are." https://www. theguardian.com/commentisfree/ 2026/oct/14/ilhan-omar-raid-dangerous-opinion

  The split is whether you believe that people have inherently different worth, and that those with higher value should receive higher access and less scrutiny, those with lower value should love only to serve the higher value. Those of us who are "woke" understand that life is always valuable, and that we should be using resources to make sure…

  Rep. Ilhan Omar wrote: “Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement,” Omar wrote. “For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.” https://…

  The implication is she wouldn’t have been eligible without that “clerical error”. And I feel people are being naive that if this is true, that her and her dad didn’t know exactly what they were doing, and that it’s not a clerical error but fraud. Now I’m not saying she was actually 18 and not 17, but if it turns out she was, then it points to them…

  They will sweep it all under the rug and offer stern letters at the most under the guise of “protecting norms” and “when they go low we go high!” AKA just doing whatever the corporate class tells them. The party establishment is a fucking joke and just as bad as the Republicans imo. Hell they are republicans at this point.

  I'm not really sure. I think they are going off the assumption that the father knew she wouldn't get naturalization alongside his own and the rest of the family and lied on the application to make her a minor. I think they raised her home looking for documents from the 80s 90s that show a 1981 birthday.

  I'm not sure what election they are trying to tilt. After last winter's ICE nonsense, I am pretty sure Omar's district would still vote for her even if they denaturalized her and deported her. Wouldn't this further fuel an already high turnout in the Cities?

  The Trump regime's fascistic targeting of Rep. Omar "was meant to make the president seem strong and appease the racist impulses of his base as his party faces down what is expected to be a trouncing in November’s midterm elections." And, he's just a bad person. https://www. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

  More importantly, Trump deporting Ilhan sets a dangerous precedent, but it also raises an interesting possibility: if he can deport Ilhan, then what's stopping the Democrats from deporting him , the grandson of German immigrants, when they gain power?

  All federal law enforcement has been corrupted by the Republican party. There is no way to enforce the law against them.
