唐纳德·特朗普的“边境沙皇”汤姆·霍曼表示，共和党总统政府“当然”可以剥夺民主党众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔的国籍并将其驱逐出境。
Tom Homan, Donald Trump’s “border czar”, has said that the Republican presidential administration could “of course” strip Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar of her citizenship and deport her.
霍曼周六在福克斯新闻节目中的言论，是自联邦特工于10月12日突袭明尼苏达州众议员奥马尔的住宅以来，特朗普政府高级官员首次以实名明确提及剥夺奥马尔国籍并将其驱逐出境。
Homan’s comments during a Saturday appearance on Fox News were the first remarks explicitly mentioning denaturalization and deportation in connection with Omar that were attributed by name to a top Trump administration official since federal agents raided the Minnesota US House representative’s home on 12 October.
对奥马尔住宅的搜查引发强烈反弹，并指责特朗普政府将联邦政府武器化，以针对一名政治对手，而总统及其支持者公开幻想剥夺其国籍并将其驱逐出境。
The search of Omar’s home sparked major backlash and accusations that the Trump administration was weaponizing the federal government to target a political rival whom the president and his supporters have openly fantasized about denaturalizing and deporting.
联邦政府对美国最著名的索马里裔美国人奥马尔的调查，旨在查明奥马尔或其家人在获得国籍时是否违反任何法律。该调查是在11月中期选举前几周启动的，奥马尔将在该选举中参选。
The federal government’s investigation into the most prominent Somali American in the US is to see whether Omar or her family violated any laws when obtaining her citizenship. The investigation was launched only weeks before the November midterm elections, in which Omar is on the ballot.
周六，当福克斯新闻主持人问及奥马尔的调查是否可能涉及“剥夺其国籍并将其驱逐出境”时，霍曼回答说：“当然。”
When asked on Saturday by a Fox News host whether the investigation into Omar could involve “denaturalizing and then deporting her”, Homan answered: “Of course”.
“如果在入籍过程中撒谎，就有一个剥夺他人国籍的程序，”霍曼说。“我们以前做过。这是一个漫长而繁琐的过程，但以前做过。
“If you lie during the naturalization process, there is a process to denaturalize somebody,” Homan said. “We’ve done it before. It’s a long, tedious process, but it’s been done before.
“而且，当然，如果证据指向那个方向，那可能会发生。”霍曼在福克斯新闻节目中似乎还暗示，联邦政府正在调查奥马尔的其他指控，但拒绝透露细节。
“And certainly, if the evidence points that way, that could happen.”Homan also seemed to imply during his Fox News appearance that the federal government is investigating Omar for other allegations – but refused to give details.
“我不想去那里，”霍曼说。“我知道一些事情，但那是联邦调查局的问题。”奥马尔是一名来自索马里的归化美国公民，她还是个孩子时，她的父亲填写了联邦政府显然正在审查的移民文件。她的父亲努尔·奥马尔·穆罕默德于2020年6月去世。
“I’m not going to go there,” Homan said. “I know things, but that’s a question for the FBI.”Omar – a naturalized US citizen from Somalia – was a child when her father filled out the immigration paperwork which the federal government is evidently scrutinizing. Her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, died in June 2020.
在她住宅被搜查后的一封信中，奥马尔的律师指控美国司法部可能违反长期存在的内部政策，影响选举。
In a letter after her home was searched, Omar’s attorneys accused the US justice department of potentially influencing an election in violation of longstanding internal policy.
调查奥马尔的行动发生在此届政府加大力度推进其激进的反移民打击行动之际。除了调动资源、部署大量官员在全国范围内逮捕、拘留和驱逐无证移民外，该政府还升级了对合法移民的打击。
The move to investigate Omar came amid a heightened offensive by the administration in pursuit of its aggressive anti-immigrant crackdown. In addition to funneling resources and deploying droves of officials to arrest, detain and deport undocumented immigrants throughout the country, the administration has also escalated its on offensive on legal migration.
该政府一直在全国范围内推进数十起案件，试图剥夺在美国境外出生的美国公民的国籍，声称他们通过欺诈手段获得了国籍。
The administration has been pursuing dozens of cases nationwide in which they are attempting to denaturalize Americans born outside of the US, who they claim fraudulently obtained their citizenship.
正如霍曼周日所暗示的那样，漫长的去国籍化过程需要联邦调查和漫长的法庭程序。
As Homan alluded to on Sunday, the lengthy denaturalization process requires a federal investigation and drawn-out court proceedings.
然而，截至4月，美国司法部据称已确定近400名出生在国外的公民，计划对其进行调查。
Nonetheless, as of April, the US justice department had reportedly identified nearly 400 foreign-born citizens that it sought to investigate.
对奥马尔的调查紧随右翼支持特朗普的人物提出的未经证实的指控之后，这些人称奥马尔通过欺诈手段获得了国籍。奥马尔否认这些指控，这些指控还包括她的前夫其实是她的哥哥，她仅仅是为了让他获得美国移民身份才与他结婚的说法。
The investigation into Omar follows unsubstantiated accusations by rightwing figures who support Trump that she obtained her citizenship fraudulently. Omar denies the accusations, which also include allegations that her ex-husband is her brother, whom she only married so he could obtain immigration status in the US.
据报道，联邦政府在对她住宅的突袭中扣押了奥马尔的手机，并发出了十多份传票，包括对她亲属的传票。
The federal government reportedly seized Omar’s phone during the raid on her home and has issued more than a dozen subpoenas, including of Omar’s relatives.
奥马尔的律师要求联邦政府归还她的财产，并保存搜查过程中产生的任何音频或视频资料。
Omar’s attorneys have demanded that the federal government return her property and preserve any audio or video taken during the search.
奥马尔表示，她和她的家人在她八岁时逃离了索马里的内战，并在肯尼亚的难民营中度过了多年。她和她的家人在1990年代来到美国，根据她的律师的说法，她于2000年成为美国公民。
Omar has said she and her family fled Somalia’s civil war when she was eight and spent years in a refugee camp in Kenya. She and her family came to the US in the 1990s, and she became a naturalized US citizen in 2000, according to her lawyers.
她的律师在一封信中表示，“没有任何合法依据表明她违反了与其公民身份有关的任何法律”，该信首次被《华尔街日报》报道。在她家被突袭之后，奥马尔在 X 上发帖称自己“一切正常”。
There is “no legitimate basis for any suggestion that she has violated any law concerning her citizenship status”, said her attorneys’ letter, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. After the raid on her home, Omar posted on X that she was “ok”.
奥马尔还写道：“不要有任何误解：这是针对政治对手的行动，旨在将联邦执法武器化。”她说：“特朗普多年来一直用毫无根据的谎言和抹黑行动针对我” — — “这只是他政治恐吓行动中的最新升级。”奥马尔补充道：“我不会沉默。”
“Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement,” Omar also wrote. She said: “Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns” for years – and “this is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.”“I will not be silenced,” Omar added.
