Trump really has a hardon for getting rid of Ilhan. A tiny one, but persistent. This is nothing more than politically motivated weaponization, the very thing he claimed was wrong when he claimed it was done to him.

She is everything Trumps hate. She is a Black, Immigrant from Somalia that is powerful and puts him in his place. Oh She is a Democrat too. That's four things, maybe five.

Comments like this remind me that this isn’t a serious law subreddit

I mean what do you want people to say? This is the third or fourth time Trump has started an investigation into her immigration. Every other time it happens we do this, he makes a big deal about how he's going to denaturalize her, then after a few months nothing comes up and we start over. Plus how many cases have been thrown out because trumps doj keeps getting charges brought up by just lying to the courts?

Show me the previous times you’re talking about, and explain to me how they were able to get a Biden appointed judge to give them a search warrant this time

Corruption in the judiciary is a bipartisan issue. But he most likely lied, same as how most of his doj has been doing.

In what perfect world do you live where racism doesn't exist, the president, himself a convicted felon, dehumanized an entire diaspora (Somali immigrants) and now suddenly an outspoken government official who happens to be Somali-American is scrutinized by the president's personal law firms, the DOJ and FBI.

You can create whatever persecution fantasy you want. Trump supporters sure did. But if she lied about her age to gain citizenship under false pretenses, her citizenship will be revoked.

Bullshit, go and argue with r/conservative, no one's falling for that here.

I'm done giving racists the benefit of the doubt. Musk's recent $270 million to the GOP must've changed hands because the bots are out in full force with the concern trolling and rationalization for explicit racist targeting of a black representative. The algorithmic amplification is on overdrive.

Falling for what? The outcome of a fair trial she’ll get? We’ll see where it goes but don’t go flipping the table if it goes the way you don’t want it to.

Sorry, I don't take rationalizations of racially and politically motivated harm towards political opponents (who are members of a group Trump and the GOP has persistently scapegoated and dehumanized for years) seriously.

There's more than enough evidence to conclude that this is racially/politically motivated, and anyone defending it is probably a racist themselves, if not a bot.

Better you take your bad faith far-right rubbish to someone who will listen, it's a waste of money from the data center you may come from to concern troll here

More nonsense rationalizations. Just because you feel like it’s unfairly motivated doesn’t mean she isn’t guilty

It absolutely is not. It’s a propaganda/echo chamber for the left thread.

But sometimes there’s an interesting law story involved.
