Federal agents raid home of Trump critic Ilhan Omar amid criminal probe
Investigative arm of US immigration enforcement leads search, according to local reports, in dramatic escalation of Trump's feud with the left-wing lawmaker, weeks before midterms
Federal agents searched the residence of Democratic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar on October 12, 2021, as part of a criminal investigation, according to the Associated Press. The search, conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, was carried out without prior notice and no details were provided about the nature of the investigation.
The Justice Department confirmed the search warrant but did not identify the person under investigation or confirm if Omar is directly connected to the case. Omar's office has not yet responded to the search, and the congresswoman remains tight-lipped about the matter.
