急了：奥巴马发出公开声明 怒批川普
美国前总统奥巴马（Barack Obama）公开声明，谴责美国边境事务主管霍曼（Tom Homan），称共和党政府“当然”可以剥夺民主党议员奥马尔（Ilhan Omar）的公民身份并将其驱逐出境。
奥巴马于社交媒体X上捍卫奥马尔，表示联邦政府动用全部力量去打压一位民选议员，仅因为她胆敢公开批评总统。
他呼吁所有美国人无论政治立场如何，都应该捍卫奥马尔：“如果这成为新常态，没有理由相信这种事会止步于她。”奥巴马的公民身份曾受到川普的质疑，川普曾散播阴谋论，声称奥巴马出生在肯雅，因此不具备担任总统的资格。
奥马尔是索马里裔的归化美国公民，于12岁时跟随父亲到美国，而5年后，当她父亲入籍成为美国公民时，当时她年仅17岁（未成年），因而自动随父亲归化入籍。
国土安全调查局（HSI）于12日突袭搜查她于华盛顿特区（Washington D.C.）的住所，查明奥马尔或其家人在获得公民身份时是否违反了任何法律，此行动引发了强烈反弹，并招致指责，认为川普政府正在利用联邦政府的权力打击一位政治对手。
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.
奥巴马指联邦特工搜查了她的住所，没收了她的个人记录，并扣押了她的手机：“这一切都是为了寻找20年前根本不存在的“铁证”，以此来支持他们的指控。”
