Federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security raided the home of Democratic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar on Monday as part of an investigation into alleged immigration offenses. The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed that the search was conducted under a warrant.
American media outlets reported the raid, which took place in the morning hours according to local time. While full details of the allegations under investigation have not been released, the probe reportedly concerns immigration offenses.
Omar, a prominent critic of Israel in the U.S. Congress, reacted strongly to the news, accusing President Donald Trump of attempting to weaponize federal law enforcement agencies against his political opponents. In a post on X, she claimed the investigation was based on "false allegations and smears" spread by Trump, calling it "the latest step in his political intimidation campaign."
The raid follows recent allegations raised by U.S. administration officials regarding Omar's past and immigration status. Last month, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reportedly claimed in an interview that Omar had married her brother to help him enter the United States, a charge Omar has denied.
