Federal Agents Search Rep. Ilhan Omar's Home as Probe Draws Political Dispute

Federal agents, including Homeland Security Investigations, searched the home of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar on a Monday morning less than three weeks before the midterm elections. The Justice Department described the search as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, and one report links it to immigration paperwork filed by a relative when Omar was a child. Omar called it an attempt to target political enemies and said she will not be silenced. Democrats and supporters called it an abuse of power, and Trump reportedly denied involvement, while right-leaning outlets emphasized the criminal probe and her earlier statement welcoming investigations.
