US Immigration Agents Search Ilhan Omar’s Home in Federal Investigation
US immigration agents searched the Washington-area home of Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar on Monday under a judicially authorised warrant, according to a Justice Department spokesperson. Officials said the search is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation but did not disclose the alleged offence or say whether Omar was at the property. Omar, a Somali-American Democrat, is seeking re-election next month. The search follows renewed allegations about Omar’s immigration history from Republican figures, which she has denied. Its timing, weeks before the midterm elections, is likely to intensify political debate over whether the investigation could affect her campaign.
