Summary

Homeland Security Investigations agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington home Monday under a court-authorized search warrant tied to an immigration probe, the Justice Department said, without detailing its scope. Fox News reported the investigation concerns immigration paperwork filed by Omar's late father when she was a child. Democratic leaders including Hakeem Jeffries and Jamie Raskin condemned the search as an abuse of power, three weeks before the midterm elections. Omar called it political targeting and is fundraising off it.
