The Washington home of Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar, one of President Donald Trump's most outspoken critics, was searched by federal immigration investigators in a pre-dawn operation on 12th October, as part of an ongoing criminal investigation reportedly centred on her immigration paperwork.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the investigative arm of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), executed a judicially authorised search warrant in the Washington, DC, area, according to the Department of Justice. The operation marks a significant development in a long-running controversy surrounding allegations about Omar's immigration history, which the Minnesota congresswoman has previously denied.
