ICE Raid on Ilhan Omar Shows How Dangerous Two Years of Flailing Trump Could Get
With his popularity tanking and his grip on power growing tenuous, Trump is becoming a decrepit tyrant — and the checks to stop him are failing. The post ICE Raid on Ilhan Omar Shows How Dangerous Two Years of Flailing Trump Could Get appeared first on The Intercept .
On October 12, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a raid at the home of Representative Ilhan Omar in Washington D.C. Critics have condemned the move as an attempt to strip the congresswoman of her citizenship, accusing the Trump administration of focusing on her race and religion. The raid was part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation, though the investigation itself has been marred by Trump administration officials' allegations of immigration fraud against Omar.
Omar, born in Somalia and a refugee, is up for re-election in November. The ICE raid is seen as a worrying escalation in Trump's aggressive actions against perceived opponents, signaling the potential for even more fascist behavior from his administration.
