Rep. Ilhan Omar Says She Will Move Out of Her Washington, DC, Home After Federal Search
Omar says the search took 4 to 5 hours and led agents to seize 17 items, including phones, notebooks and keepsakes.
- Representative Ilhan Omar announced Wednesday she will move her family from their Washington, D.C., home following an October 12 federal raid and subsequent death threats targeting her publicly available address.
- Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a search warrant on October 12, seizing 17 items including phones and notebooks during a room-by-room search as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into alleged immigration fraud.
- Omar alleged the Trump administration is weaponizing federal law enforcement to intimidate voters, while congressional Democrats questioned the timing of the search weeks before the November midterm elections.
- Despite agents remaining "intrusive but polite" during the four or five hour search, Omar stated that her publicly available address and rising death threats make remaining in the home untenable.
- President Donald Trump has frequently called for Omar's deportation and denied involvement in the probe, though the congresswoman insisted he has "everything to do with it" regarding the investigation.
