> 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?
