Representative Ilhan Omar says she can no longer live in her Washington home, telling an interviewer that death threats since federal agents searched the property this month have made it unsafe for her family. The raid was part of a federal investigation into alleged fraud in her immigration and citizenship records.
The Minnesota Democrat gave her first detailed account of the 12 October search on 21 October, speaking to Chris Hayes on MS NOW. She said Homeland Security Investigations agents began pounding on the front and back doors at about 6 a.m., while she, her husband, Tim Mynett, and their 20-year-old son were inside.
