It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

To understand why this is so appalling, it’s important to know the facts. Congresswoman Omar came to this country with her father when she was 12 years old. Five years later, her father became a naturalized citizen. If Ilhan had been 18 at the time, she would have had to apply for citizenship separately. But because she was 17, she became a naturalized citizen automatically.

Congresswoman Omar went on to graduate from college, work as a community organizer, become the first Somali-American legislator elected to public office in the U.S., and win a seat in Congress. There, she has been one of the Trump Administration’s fiercest critics, which has led the president to repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.

Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen. Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.

Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president. And it’s not the first time this has happened. Under President Trump, the Justice Department has repeatedly gone after those he considers his political enemies — from the Attorney General of New York, to the former head of the FBI, to members of the Federal Reserve.

In those cases, the prosecutions either stalled or were dismissed for having no basis in law, and the same is likely to happen in this case. But not before Congresswoman Omar’s life has been turned upside down, her legal bills have piled up, and she’s been forced to spend time fighting unsubstantiated charges instead of serving the people of Minnesota.

The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views. Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same.

You know who did pass the bar exam? First Lady #MichelleObama, Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson, VP #KamalaHarris, and Congresswoman #JasmineCrockett.

#DEI doesn’t lower the bar. It exposes those who can’t reach it.

I’m so fucking sick and tired of the entire planet being destroyed by old white, insecure, abusive men.

Ossoff: Mike, who on your team advised you to raise the Epstein files. You voted to cover up the evidence because Donald Trump told you to. Donald Trump, who by the way, is named 1000 times in the Epstein files

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

FUN FACT: Rep. Ilhan Omar has been a citizen longer than Melania trump AND Elon Musk.

I stand with Rep. Ilhan Omar.

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

This is the sweaty tub of shit that produced a fake Ai phone call recording to libel and slander James Talarico, and he should be sued into oblivion

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

James Talarico should sue every fucking one of them

[Simply_Honest @C83Vita]

@nypost All of that and he still won’t win..yet they will pocket that money. Republicans.

[Simply_Honest @C83Vita]

@Mayoisspicyy @NancyMace His shitty dick to be exact 😂

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Ilhan Omar holds two bachelor’s degrees... the average MAGA can’t even get a GED... that’s why they hate her.

[Simply_Honest @C83Vita]

@kellyclarkson Girl sit the fuck down and let shit go with your rich, spoiled white ass.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

I have to agree with Trump. His fans are the dumbest people I've ever seen.
