US House of Representatives member Omar's Office reacts to the administration on the grounds of "abuse of power"

House of Representatives Member Omar's Office made a statement on the issue on the social media platform of US-based company X.

The statement described the federal authorities' search at Omar's home as "abuse of power" and evaluated that the purpose of the search was "targeting political enemies".

In the statement, it was argued that US President Donald Trump had been targeting Omar with his rhetoric for years and said, "Now these attacks have turned into a meaningless federal raid. (Omar) has done nothing wrong. No president should use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies." statements were included.

Omar's home in the capital Washington was searched yesterday by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as part of the ongoing criminal investigation.

Unnamed sources who spoke to ABC News stated that the investigation was related to Omar's immigration documents.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the umbrella organizations of the Muslim community in the USA, also condemned the raid on Omar's house by the Department of Homeland Security and described it as "an act of political persecution".
