Federal agents search Ilhan Omar’s home in immigration probe weeks before midterms
Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant at Representative Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C. home on Monday morning. The Justice Department confirmed the action is part of an ongoing criminal investigation into immigration paperwork filed by Omar’s late father when she was a child. The raid occurred 22 days before the November 3 midterm elections, prompting sharp condemnation from Democrats who called it an unprecedented weaponization of federal power against a political opponent. Omar denied any wrongdoing, stating she would not be silenced, while President Trump said authorities are looking at her 'very carefully' but claimed he had no direct involvement in the operation.
