Government spent millions on Trump ads. And, federal agents raid Ilhan Omar's home

Federal agents searched the Washington, D.C. home of Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar on Monday. France 24 reports the raid is part of an investigation into alleged immigration fraud involving paperwork completed by Omar's late father when she was a child. Omar accused the Trump administration of using government institutions to target political opponents, while The Guardian US reported that Omar stated she will not be silenced and characterized the search as part of an intimidation campaign by President Trump.

Separately, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily halt the broadcast of taxpayer-funded television ads promoting the president prior to the November 3 midterm elections. NPR reports that the government has used millions of taxpayer dollars on pro-Trump ads despite the president saying this would not occur.

According to The Guardian US, US district judge Jennifer L. Rochon of the southern district of New York issued a temporary restraining order on Sunday that is intended to remain in effect for at least 14 days.
