The Trump administration’s immigration fraud case against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), reportedly working toward deporting the Somali-born congresswoman, is complicated by a host of procedural factors that range from the timing of the alleged offenses to who filled out the forms that granted her citizenship.

Much of the speculation about the federal case against Omar centers on whether her father lied to immigration authorities regarding the congresswoman’s actual age at the time he became a naturalized citizen.
