Federal raid on Ilhan Omar's home sparks controversy
Federal agents have raided the Washington, DC home of Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar three weeks before US midterm elections. The Department of Justice confirms the court-approved search is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation into alleged immigration fraud, involving whistleblowers, documents and witness testimony. Omar, a Somali-born Muslim who became a US citizen at 17, denies wrongdoing and calls the raid an attempt to target political enemies and weaponise federal law enforcement.
