"Remigration" is the idea that already-naturalised citizens should be stripped of their citizenship and deported back to their countries of origin[1]. The idea is gaining increased legitimacy and currency on the political right and is supported by high profile figures in the Trump administration[2]. Greg Bovino, former commander of CBP, even attended a "Remigration Summit" in Europe.
Remigration usually has a racial component to it, but the increasing use of the term "heritage American" on the right[3] isn't necessarily encouraging that the precedent set by remigration, if adopted as a mainstream policy by the GOP, would stay neatly confined to recently-arrived, former-refugee black and brown naturalised citizens.

That's an unprecedented abuse of power.

> Reporting from the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, and others indicates the focus is on whether Omar or her late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, misstated her age/birth date so she could derive citizenship as a minor when he naturalized in 2000. If she was 18 or older at the time, that pathway would not have been available.
Perhaps Al Capone should have paid his taxes, and the Omars should have been accurate on kafkaesque forms?
