Fury as US federal agents search anti-Trump lawmaker’s home

Federal agents conducted a search of Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar's Washington home on Monday, as part of a criminal investigation, escalating tensions between President Donald Trump and the outspoken lawmaker. Omar, who represents a Minneapolis district with a large Somali community, stated she was "ok" following the operation but accused the administration of targeting political opponents.

The early morning search, conducted by Homeland Security Investigations agents, was described by Trump's border czar as part of a longstanding probe. Omar expressed her disapproval, stating that Trump has targeted her with baseless lies and smear campaigns for ten years. The operation sparked criticism from Democrats who accused Trump of abusing government powers to pursue his political opponents.

The Justice Department confirmed the search was court-authorized but did not disclose the nature of the investigation.
