Federal Agents Search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Home in Criminal Investigation

Federal agents searched the Washington-area home of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar on Monday as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, the Justice Department said. Homeland Security Investigations agents carried out a judicially authorized warrant, but officials released no details about the probe. Omar called the search an attempt to target political opponents and said she would not be silenced. The investigation’s scope remains unclear. The search comes weeks before midterm elections, prompting Democratic leaders to question its timing. Omar represents Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District.
