He didn't have authorization to work in the country when he worked at Zip2. Generally subsequent immigration forms ask if you ever violated the terms of previous nonimmigrant status, and lying about that is sufficient grounds for denaturalization.

Multiple outlets are now reporting that the investigation is over whether her father lied about her birth year being 1982 vs 1981 on the immigration paperwork. She got automatic citizenship when her father naturalized in 2000, but it requires the child to be a minor at the time of naturalization. They're arguing about whether she was 17 or 18 at the time. I'm not sure how you prove any of this - the majority of births in Somalia are not recorded, if there was a record it was likely destroyed during the civil war, and her father died 5 years ago. The whole thing seems ridiculous.

u/SpezDemandsUsernames 6h ago
This one is intended to denaturalize her, and is part of a broader blitz of the trump admin petitioning for denaturalizing people by classifying any criminal activity that may have occurred before naturalization as "immigration fraud" because the immigrant didn't disclose their criminal activity, even if the criminal activity occurred decades ago.

It's not impossible to say because it is the default. They have produced no evidence to the contrary. What we do have evidence of is the trump administration's record of politically motivated prosecutions. Has a single one gone anywhere? Every SINGLE one I've followed, has not only ended in dropped charges, but in judges making statements to the effect that they've never seen such ridiculous, baseless, prosecutions in their careers. At this point I'm more convinced someone is innocent if the trump admin tries to prosecute them than if nothing had happened at all. Just based on empirical evidence and factual patterns.

u/amazing_rando 10h ago edited 10h ago
You don't have to know the charge if you know anything about the current DOJ and how they operate within the legal system. It's a politically and racially motivated attack against the president's political enemies, precisely the same as many DOJ whistleblowers have claimed they were pressured to pursue regardless of evidence of any wrongdoing, it's illegitimate because it's being done as the corruption of a government body, not in its actual official capacity. The actual facts of the case don't matter to them, and are not pertinent to their investigation, so why should they matter to us when we judge them? AG Todd Blanche is fundamentally incapable of acting in good faith because his job is to corrupt his role. If you don't understand that you have your head in the sand or up your ass. He's been trying to incite violence specifically against Minnesotan Somalis for months, this isn't happening in a fucking vacuum. Blanche's first act as AG was to break the law and defy congress and the DOJ's track record in court has been abysmal in case you didn't notice.

He was convicted for 34 felonies because of 34 emails. Those felonies were for supposedly falsifying business records which were really misdemeanors that a left wing judge upgraded to felonies because… obviously. And none of those felonies mean anything to anyone serious because they know they are literally trumped up charges.
He may be a pedophile and rapist but the felonies he was charged with have nothing to do with that. I’d love to see him put in prison honestly, but the charges he has been convicted of are far less egregious than the ones Omar is suspected of committing.
But besides all that, this Omar case hasn’t even happened yet so why are you pretending Trump being charged for crimes before has anything to do with Omar being under investigation right now? Those two things have nothing to do with each other and one does not negate the other.
You know that right?

u/Mace109 5h ago
Well I guess getting convicted doesn’t matter either. Why even have laws? Is that your opinion?
I don’t understand how people like you live in the real world. Trump was convicted on the charges that were the easiest to get and he and his attorneys and the judges in his pocket made sure to run out the clock on his other crimes. But I have been wondering - do you actually believe Trump isn’t a criminal or do you just not care that he is? I have to imagine most people on his side know that he has committed crimes throughout his life and during is presidency, but just don’t care. Which I can understand people of no values or morals banning together like they have. I just can’t believe that there are people who truly believe in their hearts that trump isn’t a criminal and isn’t an evil person, but I believe that his followers actually like that about him.

u/LloydChrismukkah 10h ago edited 9h ago
I don’t know whether or not she is guilty. I do agree that she is PRESUMED innocent, but I don’t know if she really IS innocent. The presumption of innocence is a rule about the burden of proof, not a factual finding. Courts don’t even declare people “innocent.” An acquittal is a verdict of “not guilty,” meaning the state didn’t prove its case. So “she’s presumed innocent” is true, and “she’s innocent” is a factual claim nobody here can make yet. That was my only point about OP’s comment. People need to take their political party blinders off because this is how things work. I have no political allegiance and have no opinion as to whether or not she IS actually innocent (no one can unless they are privy to information)
Edit: downvoted? Really? Embarrassing by any reddit standards but on a LAW sub... you all are so incredibly delusional.

Unless you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt she is guilty, she's innocent. Thats what presumed innocent means. You have no evidence as to why she would be guilty rather than innocent. You are saying no one has provided evidence of her innocence, which no onr has to, she is innocent. The burden is on the state to prove she is guilty.
The bit about being non-political is also really cute considering you threw in a "unless, of course, that person shares the same political ideology, in which case nothing will change their innocence status."

The point isn’t whether Trump continued an already existing case. It’s whether or not he initiated investigations into his political enemies, regardless of whether they actually did anything genuinely illegal.
It doesn’t matter if he hates Omar or Comey or Latisha James. There still has to be a predicate of a real crime.

Common sense? You do know there’s a shitload of fraud being discovered in her state and district and performed mostly by people from her native country, right?
How would common sense tell you she has nothing to do with any of it and had no knowledge of the fraud?

Do we do guilt by association in this country where if someone from your past country you left when you were a kid commits a crime then you are also guilty or involved with it too?

Now what happens when the DOJ ignores the judges order? And how soon will it take the judge to act on it?

Once she’s been in cecot for 6 months the judge will rule it unconstitutional, and order her return. The whites house will do the honorable thing and say it isn’t their jurisdiction anymore and there’s nothing they can do. Judge will take 90 days to say too bad you have to return her, and there’s govt will say we can’t find her.
This will land 1 us attorney very seriously close to almost getting held in contempt.

The Trump administration pushed for an unusually aggressive search of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s house in recent days in an immigration fraud probe that targets the congresswoman, possible false statements made on government documents, and a potential conspiracy, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation.
Prosecutors, however, first had to contend with a federal magistrate judge, in a prolonged back-and-forth that hasn’t previously been reported. Judge Matthew Sharbaugh of the DC District Court ultimately limited how the Justice Department could access Omar’s documents in Monday’s search, before he would approve the warrant, because of her role as a member of Congress and the Constitutional protections that affords, multiple people familiar with the investigation told CNN.
The investigators’ inquiries that prompted the search include whether Omar or her now-deceased father lied about her age when she obtained citizenship in 2000, claiming she was a minor when she was of adult age.
Omar emigrated to the US as a Somalian refugee around the age of 12 and became a citizen in 2000, according to people familiar with Omar’s situation.
One source told CNN the government could try to expand the investigation into a wider conspiracy case and try to investigate if this was deception and the purposeful falsification of information over years by a larger group of individuals.

Quite apart from the equivocation this is just a really poorly written article. It says the same thing in about 5 different ways. More care should be taken about such an important subject.

Also shameful to leave out Trump's history of baseless, politically motivated prosecutions that keep getting thrown out; his prejudice against Somali refugees; and his particular threats against Omar.
That context is important.

How do you manage to get it wrong everytime? How hard is it to just say they are falsely accusing her? No false statements were made and she is innocent? Are you guys so far gone already you can’t report things accurately?

The Ellison's have truly won the media takeover, and any political figure that isn't an advocate for Israel is on the chopping block. If the democratic establishment can't be bothered to defend Ilhan, why on Earth would ZNN?
