HSI raids Rep. Omar’s D.C. home in immigration probe ahead of midterms
Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant at the Washington, D.C., home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Monday morning. The Justice Department confirmed the action is part of a criminal investigation into immigration paperwork filed by Omar’s late father when she was a child, though officials declined to provide specific details. The raid occurred 22 days before the November midterm elections, intensifying accusations from Democrats that the administration is weaponizing federal agencies for political retribution. Omar, a Somali-born naturalized citizen and vocal critic of President Trump, has consistently denied any wrongdoing. The timing has drawn sharp condemnation from Democratic leaders, who described the move as an 'abuse of power,' while the administration maintains the probe is a legitimate law enforcement action.
