Purpose of the probe?

Deport Omar: The probe, which the Wall Street Journal later reported is part of an effort to strip Omar of her citizenship and deport her, flies in the face of the Justice Department’s informal “60-day rule,” which seeks to avoid any public investigation actions involving a candidate within 60 days of an election.

Investigate citizenship: The department gave county officials 48 hours to investigate the citizenship statuses and segregate ballots from anyone whose status they could not confirm and said the department would seek “emergency relief” if they did not.
