How this market settles

If the U.S. government sues Ilhan Omar to revoke her U.S. citizenship before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes. A lawsuit or some other formal adversarial legal process (such as pre-complaint discovery or an arbitration claim) is encompassed by the Payout Criterion. The following also count: A federal criminal charge for unlawfully procuring her naturalization or citizenship, including a false statement made to obtain it (such as under 18 U.S.C. 1425), or a conspiracy to do so A USCIS or DHS notice of intent to cancel her certificate of citizenship, certificate of naturalization, or another citizenship document or record (8 U.S.C. 1453) A removal, civil or immigration-court proceeding brought by the U.S. government asserting that she is not a U.S. citizen The following do NOT count: Public statements or announcements of intent Search warrants, grand jury subpoenas, target letters and seizures of property The opening or continuation of an investigation Passport actions Proceedings Omar brings, even if the government contests her citizenship in them Other criminal charges, including charges for later claims of citizenship such as passport or voting statements

What could still go wrong

  • The term 'formal adversarial legal process' beyond the listed examples (pre-complaint discovery, arbitration) could be subject to interpretation in edge cases.
  • Timezone ambiguity: end date is specified as 2027-01-01T15:00:00Z, which may differ from local U.S. time zones where legal filings occur — it is unclear if a filing at e.g. 10:00 AM ET on Jan 1, 2027 would qualify.
  • The description says 'before Jan 1, 2027' in the question but the end date metadata shows 2027-01-01T15:00:00Z, creating a potential discrepancy between midnight Jan 1 and 15:00 UTC Jan 1.
  • It is unclear whether a sealed or non-public filing would trigger YES resolution, and when/how such a filing would be verified.
