2026.11.12 Tom Emmer on Ilhan's Citizenship

In an interview, a congressman discusses allegations that Representative Ilhan Omar misrepresented her age during the naturalization process. He says the Department of Justice may be reviewing the matter and argues that, if her citizenship were invalidated, she would no longer be eligible to serve in Congress. He distinguishes a possible indictment from an administrative determination regarding her birth date and says an expulsion vote may not be necessary.
