Donald Trump’s administration has been using federal officials to go after undocumented immigrants, but now his political action committee is threatening to use agents to investigate his own donors.
Earlier this week, Trump’s Never Surrender PAC sent out a fundraising email with a provocative subject line: “Are you an illegal immigrant?”

The text of the message captured by the Political Email Archive suggests that, with some caveats, the answer may be yes.
“Your profile says you are a top MAGA patriot…but my investigative records still say: Awaiting reply. Are you an illegal alien?!? This can’t be true!” the message said, before adding, “This is your last moment to prove me wrong…please. Are you a proud American citizen, or do ICE need to come after you?”
There is a link at the bottom of the message “Only a citizen survey.”

The Huffington Post reached out to the PAC and the White House for comment, but no one immediately responded.
The threatening message is just the latest step the Trump political action committee has taken in recent weeks to raise money.

Earlier this month, the president sent this message:
“I’m sitting here. Alone. In the war room. Fighting for you. The rest of the staff went home hours ago. It’s just me, a dying laptop, and a 72-hour countdown clock to a deadline in the first month of this year that suddenly went off.”
On Sunday, the PAC sent out another bizarre email with the subject line “I want to try to get into heaven.”
