Trump’s longtime nemesis Ilhan Omar has home raided by federal agents

Federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant at the Washington, D.C., home of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar on Monday morning as part of an ongoing Department of Justice investigation.
A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed the raid, which took place around 6 a.m., but declined to elaborate on the specific grounds or subject of the federal probe.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is the first Somali American elected to Congress, has been a frequent target of President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly used inflammatory language against her and called for her to be investigated.
The search follows controversial remarks by Trump accusing Somali immigrants of causing violence in Minnesota and urging residents to fight back, prompting Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to label his comments deranged.
Omar has been a vocal critic of federal immigration enforcement agencies. Her representatives have not yet provided a statement about the federal search.
