- 0:57Berardi says the potential citizenship challenge centers on Omar's age when she derived citizenship through a parent.

Bill O'Reilly asks whether Representative Ilhan Omar could be deported. His guest's answer centers on an earlier legal question: whether the government could challenge her citizenship through a civil proceeding.
The No Spin News interview drew more than 320,000 views in its opening half-day, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos. It follows O'Reilly's earlier discussion of grand jury claims involving Omar, as we reported here; this segment brings in immigration attorney Rosanna Berardi to explain the legal theory.
"The issue at hand really is her age at the time she naturalized," Berardi says. She explains that deriving citizenship through a parent requires being unmarried and under 18, and frames the potential challenge around whether Omar met that age requirement. Omar represents Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, which includes Minneapolis.
Berardi distinguishes potential criminal charges from civil denaturalization. She says statutes of limitations may bar criminal charges, while the government could still pursue a civil proceeding to revoke citizenship if the eligibility allegations were established. The interview does not announce a court finding or a deportation order.
The legal discussion ends shortly after the three-minute mark. O'Reilly then moves into a paid promotional segment for a Medicare advisory service.
A Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives, serving Minnesota’s 5th congressional district since 2019. Her district covers Minneapolis and some nearby suburbs.
