First Thing: Democratic leaders condemn federal raid on Ilhan Omar as she vows not to be silenced

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has vowed not to be silenced following a federal raid on her home, with Democratic leaders condemning the Trump administration's move as an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize law enforcement. In a social media post, Omar criticized the raid, stating that it was part of "his campaign of political intimidation" and that she would not be silenced.

The raid comes amid accusations from Trump and his allies that Omar engaged in fraudulent activity related to her family's immigration history, as well as allegations that she has fantasized about denaturalizing her and expelling her from the country. House Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, and Whip Katherine Clark, issued a joint statement condemning the raid as "deeply disturbing" and vowing to seek accountability from the US Departments of Justice and Homeland Security.
