Ilhan Omar has accused Donald Trump of waging a decade-long campaign of political intimidation after federal agents searched her Washington home, intensifying a bitter confrontation between the Minnesota congresswoman and the president just weeks before the US midterm elections.
The operation took place on Monday, 12 October, with voting scheduled for 3 November. Omar immediately condemned the search as an attempt to weaponise federal law enforcement against political opponents, while senior Democrats questioned why investigators acted so close to polling day.
