US Congress: “Intimidation”? Search of U.S. Rep. Omar

Federal agents searched the Washington-area home of Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Fox News and NBC News reported. Leading Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries described the raid as disturbing and warned against the federal government's instrumentalization against Trump's opponents. The Justice Department said the search was part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation into allegations of fraud related to Omar's immigration records, according to Fox News. Omar herself spoke of political intimidation and referred to Trump's long-standing attacks against her. The search took place three weeks before the congressional election in Minnesota's district, in which Omar is running for re-election.
