"LIED ABOUT HER AGE": JUDGE ORDERS ILHAN OMAR TO REAPPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP OR BE STRIPPED OF CONGRESSIONAL SEAT
WASHINGTON D.C. — In a stunning legal development that could immediately end her political career, Representative Ilhan Omar has been ordered to reapply for U.S. citizenship after a federal judge ruled that her original naturalization was based on a lie.
"They Lied About Her Age"
The bombshell order comes from the 4th District US Immigration Court, where Judge Jeb Narroo issued a blistering ruling that challenges the legitimacy of Omar's status as an American citizen.
According to the court, Omar’s entry into the United States and subsequent naturalization were predicated on fraudulent information regarding her age.
"She was granted citizenship as a minor child of a naturalized person, but they lied about her age," Judge Narroo stated in the ruling. "Since she was 18 at the time, she's required to apply herself."
30 Days to Comply or Be Stripped
The court has issued a strict ultimatum: Omar has just 30 days to complete the naturalization process legally as an adult. If she fails to do so, her current citizenship will be stripped.
The consequences of such a move would be catastrophic for the Minnesota Democrat.
If her citizenship is revoked, she would immediately be disqualified from Congress, as the U.S. Constitution requires all Representatives to be citizens of the United States.
"Disqualified from Congress"
Legal experts note that this ruling essentially invalidates her entire political tenure if upheld.
By ruling that she was an adult at the time of entry, the court is asserting that she bypassed the vetting and application processes required for adult immigrants, riding in on her parents' application under false pretenses.
Omar has publicly stated she is appealing the decision, setting the stage for a high-stakes legal battle that pits the sitting Congresswoman against the federal immigration system.
However, with the 30-day clock already ticking, the pressure on Omar to prove her legitimacy—or face removal from office—has never been higher.
Trump Riding Wave Into Summer Amid String Of Victories
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump is entering the summer of 2026 with a series of high-profile victories that have reshaped American domestic policy and global security.
Following the signing of his $3.3 trillion "One Big Beautiful Bill," the administration has signaled a total shift in the country's economic and legal landscape.
A $3.3 Trillion Economic Overhaul
The centerpiece of the recent surge is the passage of a massive tax and domestic policy reconciliation bill. Signed on July 4th, the legislation meets the President's self-imposed deadline and delivers several cornerstone campaign promises:
Permanent Tax Cuts: The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions for individuals and businesses are now permanent.
No Tax on Tips and Overtime: New deductions have been implemented to eliminate federal taxes on tip income (capped at $25,000) and overtime pay (capped at $12,500).
Entitlement Reform: The bill introduces a federal mandate for Medicaid, requiring able-bodied adults to document 80 hours of work or community engagement per month. SNAP work requirements have also been expanded to include adults up to age 64.
Border and Defense: The bill allocates $350 billion toward a large-scale deportation initiative and defense spending, while rolling back various green energy credits.
Operation Midnight Hammer
On the global stage, the administration executed Operation Midnight Hammer on June 21. According to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine, more than 125 U.S. aircraft—including seven B-2 stealth bombers—obliterated critical Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
President Trump declared the sites "completely and totally obliterated," while intelligence assessments suggest the strikes have degraded Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities by at least two years.
The operation was characterized by its high level of precision and "operational misdirection," allowing U.S. forces to enter and exit Iranian airspace with minimal detection.
A Definite Legal Shift
The White House also celebrated a landmark 6–3 Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. CASA, Inc.
The decision sharply curtails the ability of lower courts to issue "universal injunctions," which have previously stalled many of the President's executive orders, including his move to end birthright citizenship.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, held that federal courts generally lack the authority to enjoin policies for non-parties.
This ruling effectively clears the way for the administration to implement controversial policies that were previously tied up in nationwide legal blocks.
Settling the "60 Minutes" Dispute
In a final legal triumph, Paramount Global (CBS's parent company) agreed to a $16 million settlement regarding a lawsuit over a 2024 interview with Kamala Harris. Trump alleged "deceptive editing" in the broadcast.
While Paramount did not issue an apology, the settlement funds will be directed to the future Trump Presidential Library. As part of the deal, CBS has agreed to release full transcripts for future presidential candidate interviews, a move the administration hails as a win for transparency.
"President Trump has delivered more wins for the American people in two weeks than most Presidents do in four years," said Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
As the administration pushes forward, the combination of legislative power, military force, and judicial favor has created what the White House calls a "historic mandate" for the remainder of the term.
VP Vance Rips Ilhan Omar Over Resurfaced ‘Fearful of White Men’ Clip
WASHINGTON D.C. — A bitter war of words has erupted between the White House and Rep. Ilhan Omar after a 2018 interview resurfaced in which Omar suggested that the United States should "profile" and "monitor" White men as a response to domestic extremism.
"Genocidal Language"
In the clip, originally filmed for an international outlet, Omar was asked about the threat of jihadist terrorism. She responded by shifting the focus to internal threats, stating, “I would say our country should be more fearful of White men across our country, because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.” She further argued that if fear were the driver of policy, the U.S. should be “profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of White men.”
Vice President JD Vance led the Republican counter-attack, calling the remarks a disgrace and labeling them as "genocidal language." The Vice President's comments echoed a growing sentiment among conservatives that Omar's rhetoric is fundamentally anti-American and racially divisive.
The Data Debate
Omar’s office pushed back, citing her 2019 clarification that her remarks were based on an Anti-Defamation League (ADL) report. According to the data cited from that period, right-wing extremists were responsible for the vast majority of extremist-related murders, with a significant percentage linked to White supremacy.
However, GOP critics argue that using such statistics to justify the "profiling" of a specific racial group is a blatant form of racism. Senator Mike Lee questioned who in the Democratic party would stand up to condemn such "blatant racism," while other lawmakers pointed to Omar's long history of controversial statements as proof of her unsuitability for office.
"Deport Her Back to Somalia"
The controversy has expanded beyond the old clip. Freshman Rep. Brandon Gill sparked a secondary firestorm by calling for Omar’s deportation back to her native Somalia. Gill’s demand followed a video shared by conservative influencers appearing to show Omar "coaching" Somali immigrants on how to refuse cooperation with ICE agents during immigration enforcement operations.
“America would be a better place if @IlhanMN were deported back to Somalia,” Gill wrote. He accused her of facilitating an "invasion" and being more loyal to foreign interests than the American people she was elected to represent.
Trump Completes U.S. Withdrawal From World Health Organization
Trump attempted to leave the organization during his first term and issued formal notice through an executive order on the first day of his second term. Under U.S. law, the country was required to provide one year’s notice and settle outstanding financial obligations before withdrawal could take effect, CNN
The United States still owes the WHO roughly $260 million, though legal experts said the funds are unlikely to be paid and the organization has little ability to compel payment.
“As a matter of law, it is very clear that the United States cannot officially withdraw from WHO unless it pays its outstanding financial obligations,” said Dr. Lawrence Gostin, a global health law expert at Georgetown University. “But WHO has no power to force the U.S. to pay what it owes.”
Gostin said the WHO could attempt to block the withdrawal through a formal resolution but is unlikely to escalate tensions given the administration’s clear intent to leave.
HHS said Thursday that all U.S. government funding to the WHO has been terminated and that all American personnel and contractors assigned to or embedded with the organization have been recalled.
The agency said the United States has also ceased participation in WHO-sponsored committees, leadership bodies, governance structures, and technical working groups.
Administration officials said some limited cooperation could continue. Asked whether the U.S. would participate in an upcoming WHO-led meeting on next year’s influenza vaccine composition, officials said discussions are ongoing.
During a call with reporters, a senior administration official said the United States had not received sufficient value from its involvement with the organization.
“A promise made and a promise kept,” the official said, adding that the WHO “has acted contrary to the U.S. interest in protecting the American public.”
The official also noted that despite being the WHO’s largest financial contributor, the United States has never had an American serve as the organization’s director-general.
HHS cited the WHO’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic as a central reason for the withdrawal.
In a news release, the agency said the organization delayed declaring a global public health emergency and praised China’s response despite what the administration described as early underreporting, information suppression, and delays in confirming human-to-human transmission.
HHS also criticized the WHO for initially downplaying airborne transmission and asymptomatic spread of the virus.
“This action means our country’s health policies can no longer be constrained by unaccountable foreign bureaucrats,” a senior HHS official said.
Despite the withdrawal, administration officials said the United States will continue to play a leading role in global health.
Officials said the U.S. plans to work directly with individual countries, non-governmental organizations, and religious groups on infectious disease surveillance and data sharing.
That effort is expected to be led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Global Health Center.
“We’ve assessed all of the gaps and the potential gaps,” another senior administration official said. “We have plans in place.”
The administration said additional announcements are expected in the coming months.
Some public health experts warned that replacing WHO coordination with bilateral agreements would create gaps in global surveillance and response.
“It doesn’t allow the same level of partnership and surveillance as working with WHO,” said a former CDC official who requested anonymity.
The official noted the CDC operates in about 60 countries, but said that does not replace the global reach of the WHO.
Critics said the withdrawal could leave the United States and the world more vulnerable to emerging biological threats.
“The U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization is a shortsighted and misguided abandonment of our global health commitments,” said Dr. Ronald Nahass, president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
Pentagon Releases Videos, Images Of Iranian Strikes
The Department of War has released the first images and videos of U.S. military actions against Iran as the campaign against the regime extends into its third day. Operation Epic Fury has so far claimed the lives of four U.S. military personnel and wounded more than a dozen others.
Early on Monday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth declared that the primary focus of the U.S. military operation in Iran is the use of lasers.
“Destroy Iranian missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy their navy and other security infrastructure and they will never have nuclear weapons,” said Hesgeth, who was joined by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.
Hegseth declined to give a timeframe for the operation, but he insisted it would not be “endless.”
“This is not Iraq,” Hegseth said. “This is not endless. I was there for both — our generation knows better, and so does this president. He called the last 20 years of nation-building wars dumb and he’s right. This is the opposite. This operation is a clear, devastating, decisive mission: Destroy the missile threat, destroy the navy, no nukes.”
Hegseth said there are no U.S. military “boots on the ground” in Iran right now, but said he would not “go into the exercise of what we will or will not do” in the future.
Caine said it will “take some time for us to conduct a battle damage assessment, and the targeting that CENTCOM will run will take those things into effect.”
At least 11 people have been killed in Israel. The Iranian Red Crescent says 555 people have been killed in Iran.
Caine said it will “take some time for us to conduct a battle damage assessment, and the targeting that CENTCOM will run will take those things into effect.”
Hegseth on Monday accused Iran of having started the war, saying Iran’s “stubborn and self-evident nuclear pursuit” as well as “targeting global shipping lines.”
“Iran had a conventional gun to our head as they tried to lie their way to a nuclear bomb,” Hegseth said to a room full of reporters on Monday morning with an important update.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told a gaggle of reporters on Saturday, following U.S. and Israel strikes on Iran, that “the old world” he grew up in “is gone,” while urging American allies to realize that and help Washington forge a new path forward for the West.
“The world is changing very fast right in front of us,” Rubio said. “The old world is gone, frankly, the world I grew up in, and we live in a new era of geopolitics, and it’s gonna require all of us to sort of reexamine what that looks like and what our role is going to be.”
He added, “We’ve had many of these conversations in private with many of our allies. We need to continue to have those conversations.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday that Rubio notified senior congressional leaders ahead of the joint U.S. Israeli military operation against Iran.
Leavitt’s statement, posted to X, came as critics questioned whether President Donald Trump authorized the strikes without the required approval from Congress.
“President Trump monitored the situation overnight at Mar a Lago alongside members of his national security team. The President spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu by phone,” Leavitt wrote.
“Prior to the attacks, Secretary Rubio called all members of the gang of eight to provide congressional notification, and he was able to reach and brief seven of the eight members,” she added.
“The President and his national security team will continue to closely monitor the situation throughout the day.”
Leavitt did not indicate whether Trump would return to Washington or remain at his Florida residence.
The so-called “Gang of Eight” includes the Senate and House majority and minority leaders, as well as the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees.
Under the 1947 National Security Act, Congress must be kept “fully informed” of significant intelligence activities.

However, according to the Harvard Kennedy School, presidents from both parties have interpreted that language to mean that notifying the “Gang of Eight” satisfies the requirement rather than briefing the full intelligence committees.
