US President Donald Trump has said Congresswoman Ilhan Omar could face jail or deportation as federal authorities investigate allegations surrounding her US citizenship.
Omar denies any wrongdoing and has accused the administration of using the investigation as a form of political intimidation.
The dispute comes as the midterm elections approach, raising questions over what action could follow and whether the allegations will lead to criminal or immigration proceedings against the congresswoman.
Trump’s remarks have intensified scrutiny of whether he could deport Ilhan Omar, while the investigation into her citizenship allegations remains ongoing.
