唐纳德·特朗普总统周二表示，伊尔汉·奥马尔（Ilhan Omar）除了可能被驱逐出境外，还可能面临监禁。他称这位明尼苏达州的民主党议员是“我们国家的耻辱”，因为她正面临有关其公民身份的联邦调查。
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Rep. Ilhan Omar could face jail in addition to deportation, calling the Minnesota Democrat "a disgrace to our country" as she faces a federal investigation into allegations involving her citizenship.
特朗普是在椭圆形办公室宣布其“欺诈激励计划”时作出上述言论的，当时他回答了福克斯商业频道（FOX Business）记者爱德华·劳伦斯（Edward Lawrence）关于“奥马尔的年龄问题是否会导致她被驱逐出境”的提问。
Trump made the remarks inside the Oval Office during his fraud incentive program announcement, responding to FOX Business correspondent Edward Lawrence’s question about whether a problem with Omar’s age could lead to her deportation.
“她确实有可能被驱逐出境，也有可能被关进监狱，”特朗普说。“他们一直在谈论驱逐出境的事……没错，她确实有可能被关进监狱。”在交谈过程中，特朗普并未具体指出针对奥马尔的任何刑事指控，也没有提供新的证据。
"Well, she could be. She could also go to jail," Trump said. "You know, they keep talking about deportation. No, she could go to jail." The president did not identify a specific criminal charge or present new evidence against Omar during the exchange.
“这只是我的个人观点，”特朗普补充道，同时称这位国会议员是“一个非常不诚实的人”，“她憎恨我们的国家”。此前，边境事务负责人汤姆·霍曼（Tom Homan）曾表示，如果调查人员证实奥马尔存在移民欺诈行为，她可能会失去公民身份并被驱逐出境。10月12日，联邦特工搜查了她在华盛顿特区的住所，没收了她的手机和其他个人物品。
"This is just my opinion," Trump added, before calling the congresswoman "a very dishonest person" who "hates our country." His comments come after border czar Tom Homan said Omar could lose her citizenship and be deported if investigators prove immigration fraud. Federal agents searched her Washington, D.C., home Oct. 12, seizing her cellphone and other possessions.
此次调查的核心是针对奥马尔或其父亲在移民文件中伪造出生年份的指控。争议的焦点在于：当她的父亲在2000年成为美国公民时，她是否还是未成年人，从而能够通过父亲的身份获得公民资格；还是她当时已经年满18岁，需要单独申请公民身份。
The investigation centers on allegations that Omar or her father misrepresented her birth year on immigration paperwork. The disputed timeline concerns whether she was a minor when her father became a U.S. citizen in 2000 and qualified for citizenship through him, or was already 18 and needed to apply separately.
奥马尔否认了自己的任何不当行为。她以及其他民主党人士（包括纽约州的民主党众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯，Hakeem Jeffries）谴责这次调查是针对特朗普的批评者的政治迫害，认为这是在中期选举前夕进行的政治打压。
Omar has denied wrongdoing. She and other Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., have denounced the investigation as political persecution targeting a prominent Trump critic ahead of the midterm elections.
周六在《The Big Weekend Show》节目中，霍曼表示，调查结果将取决于调查所得到的证据。
Speaking Saturday on "The Big Weekend Show," Homan said the outcome would depend on the evidence.
“当然，如果你在入籍过程中撒谎，有一个程序可以撤销某人的入籍资格。我们以前做过，”霍曼说。“当然，如果证据指向那里，这种情况可能会发生。”霍曼表示，奥马尔将被要求遵守与其他人相同的标准，但拒绝讨论调查人员调查结果的具体细节。
"Of course, if you lie during the naturalization process, there is a process to denaturalize somebody. We’ve done it before," Homan said. "And certainly, if the evidence points that way, that could happen." Homan said Omar would be held to the same standards as anyone else, while declining to discuss the specifics of investigators’ findings.
“我不会抢在联邦调查局或国土安全调查局前面，但我被告知他们有一个有力的案子，我们将让证据指向哪里就跟到哪里，”他说。
"I’m not going to get ahead of the bureau or HSI, but I’ve been told they have a strong case, and we’ll let the evidence lead where it leads," he said.
在周二的交锋中，特朗普还抨击了奥马尔对美国的批评，质疑她为何在来自索马里后，却试图告诉美国人如何治理国家。
During Tuesday’s exchange, Trump also attacked Omar’s criticism of the United States, questioning why she sought to tell Americans how to run the country after coming from Somalia.
“然后她来到这里，说她想告诉我们如何治理美国，”特朗普说。“她想告诉我们如何治理美利坚合众国。”
"Then she comes over here, and she says that she wants to tell us how to run America," Trump said. "She wants to tell us how to run the United States of America."
他还批评了她关于宪法权利的主张，并称她当选国会议员“令人惊讶”。“她是我们国家的耻辱，”特朗普说。总统最后表示，希望奥马尔能得到公正对待。“我希望他们公正对待她，”他说。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系奥马尔办公室置评。
He also criticized her assertions of constitutional rights and called her election to Congress "amazing." "She’s a disgrace to our country," Trump said. The president ended the exchange by saying he hoped Omar would receive fair treatment. "I hope they treat her fairly," he said. Fox News Digital reached out to Omar's office for comment.
