Rep. Ilhan Omar’s attorneys demand return of property seized in federal search of her home
Attorneys for Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar requested the Justice Department to promptly return property seized from her home during a recent federal search. The legal team argued that the investigation, which stemmed from an immigration fraud probe, was unjustified and unlawful. The search occurred just weeks before the midterm elections, in which Omar is a candidate, and her attorneys contended that it was a vindictive, retributive, and politically motivated effort to target her. The Justice Department has not yet responded to inquiries regarding the matter.
