## The question, as the venue words it

Will the U.S. government sue Ilhan Omar to revoke her U.S. citizenship before 2027? (Before Jan 2027)

## 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 this brief cannot settle

This brief was assembled automatically from a research report that met a published quality bar. No individual review. It rests on 30 claims from 7 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 4 resolution risks, listed with this brief.

- 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.
