Feds search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in immigration probe, reports say
Por Ben Berkowitz — Axios
Federal agents conducted a pre-dawn search Monday at the Washington home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as part of an ongoing immigration probe, multiple outlets reported.
Why it matters: Searching Omar’s home marks a substantial escalation of the Trump administration’s ongoing fight with the outspoken progressive, who has condemned the immigration crackdown in her state.
Driving the news: The Associated Press and Fox News reported that Homeland Security Investigations agents conducted the search, citing a Justice Department statement.
- Neither the DOJ, DHS, or Rep. Omar’s office immediately responded to Axios’ requests for comment.
- Last month, border czar Tom Homan confirmed an ongoing criminal probe into Omar, though he declined to offer details.
