Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home in immigration probe
Federal agents searched the Washington home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Monday. The pre-dawn action occurred as part of an ongoing immigration probe, according to multiple outlets. The Associated Press and Fox News reported that Homeland Security Investigations agents carried out the search, citing a statement from the Department of Justice. This marks a substantial escalation in the Trump administration's dispute with the progressive representative. Omar has publicly condemned the immigration crackdown in her state. Border czar Tom Homan confirmed last month that a criminal probe into Omar is underway, though he declined to provide specific details regarding the investigation's scope. The Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and Rep. Omar's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Axios.
