Federal agents raid Ilhan Omar's D.C. home amid immigration fraud probe

Agents from Homeland Security Investigations entered Ilhan Omar's D.C. home with a judicially authorized warrant, citing a criminal probe into alleged immigration violations. The investigation, highlighted by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, focuses on accusations that Omar married her brother to facilitate his U.S. entry, a charge she calls "bigoted lies." The warrant lists potential offenses such as false statements, immigration fraud, and conspiracy.

Omar denounced the operation as an attempt to weaponize federal law enforcement against political opponents, while her communications director called it an "outrageous" abuse of power. The raid comes weeks before the upcoming election and adds to years of partisan attacks on the Minnesota congresswoman.
