U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar will move out of her Washington, D.C., home that federal agents searched last week, she said Wednesday, noting that attention brought on by the raid has made her feel unsafe there.

Federal authorities are investigating potential fraud in her family’s immigration paperwork and have issued grand jury subpoenas to some of her relatives, a person briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation.

Omar, who was born in Somalia and is a naturalized U.S. citizen, said Wednesday in her first interview since the search that she is “confident in the fact that I didn’t do anything wrong.”

I mean that was the point. It was obviously for intimidation and it worked. So... Mission accomplished....

    That was only one of the goals. They really do want to find a way to arrest or deport her.

    Technically I think the rules say that if you make the tiniest error it could invalidate it. The SCOTUS rulings don't say that but if sent to them now they could change that. That's usually based on discretion and a judges opinion, why having fascist toadies in all the steps is a big deal. There's multiple steps with different judges having opportunity to pause it, so this probably won't happen. But it's enough to wreck a regular person's life even without final denaturalization.
