'She's a sick person, could go to jail': Trump rips into Ilhan Omar as immigration probe continues

President Donald Trump on Tuesday (October 20) said that Democratic critic Ilhan Omar "could go to jail" amid an investigation into her US immigration paperwork. The investigation appears to center on whether the Somali-born Omar, who has represented a Minnesota district since 2019, or her relatives gave false information upon entering the US as refugees in the mid-1990s or during the process of becoming American citizens. The targeting of a left-wing member of Congress whom Trump has long attacked in personal and bigoted terms has renewed concerns that his administration is using federal law enforcement to punish his political opponents, especially three weeks before an election when Omar is running to retain her seat.
