SDJW staff report
British authorities rearrested two of the seven men suspected of plotting against RAF Fairford air base from which American bombers took off earlier this year on bombing runs over Iran. Both in their 20s, one man was an Iranian-British joint national, and the other was a British subject. Counter-terrorism officials provided no other identification of the men now accused of assisting Iranian intelligence.
After the alleged plot was divulged to the public the American bombers returned to their home bases on the United States mainland. The other five men remain out of jail on bail.

President Trump says Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) could “go to jail” if Justice Department suspicions about her lying on her naturalization forms prove to be true, while Border Czar Tom Homan said in a separate interview that the congresswoman who came from Somalia as a te teenager could be denaturalized.
A key question about her case is how old a teenager was she when her now deceased father took the oath of citizenship. If she was 17, a minor, U.S. citizenship automatically was conferred on her, but if she had already reached her 18th birthday, then she would not have been eligible for automatic citizenship. During a raid of her home on Monday, Oct. 12, federal agents seized an unknown number of Omar’s personal documents.
In her first interview following the raid, Omar on Oct. 21 told Chris Hayes of MS Now that the Trump administration needed to “gin up this kind of frenzy” before the midterm elections Nov. 3, and I think ultimately their goal is to intimidate and scare people from wanting to participate and vote.” But if that were the administration’s plan, she said, it isn’t working. She said more people are casting early ballots than ever before.
