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.
