Summary

Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant at Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington home Monday as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation, the Justice Department said. Fox News reported the probe concerns immigration paperwork her late father filed when she was a child; Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin had said in September investigators were examining the family's refugee claims. Omar called the search political targeting. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani said her citizenship "should not be weaponized" against her.
