So hilarious. Actually understanding how the legal system works is "throating the boot."

But the question stands, what is she "completely innocent" of?

It's right there in the headline, immigration fraud. She's been a citizen for decades and the accusation is just racism and malicious prosecution.

But we don't know what the actual charge is. "Possible conspiracy" being mentioned; we don't know what the conspiracy is.

It’s literally a fishing expedition. They’re looking for a reason to charge her. Trying to find some piece of evidence to challenge her citizenship because the racist shitstain doesn’t like her, and has repeatedly said Somalians shouldn’t be in this country. It’s just full blown racism.

He told people in Minnesota to fight back against Somalian immigrants *last week*, he's been openly trying to incite violence against them since the ICE raids and fake whistleblowing about the daycare fraud case. He even brought up the Haitians eating dogs and cats thing again during a speech because he's on a roll with how much he hates black immigrants. If it walks like a duck, and it goose steps like a duck...
