U.S. immigration authorities raid home of Democratic Trump critic Ilhan Omar

In a predawn raid on Monday, U.S. immigration authorities targeted the Washington, D.C. residence of Democratic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump. The Justice Department confirmed the operation as part of an ongoing investigation into potential immigration fraud. According to a source familiar with the probe, the investigation centers on paperwork related to Omar's immigration status, which was completed by her father when she was a child.

Omar took to social media to express her concern, stating that the U.S. government appears to be weaponized to target a political adversary of the president. The raid comes amid heightened tensions between Omar and the Republican administration, with the congresswoman facing a barrage of insults and criticism from the Trump administration.
