Trump demands answers on Omar's '$30M' and accuses her of being in the US 'illegally' as feds probe immigration paperwork
Homeland Security Investigations officers outside Ilhan Omar's Washington home after a pre-dawn search warrant was executed as part of a federal criminal fraud probe into her immigration paperwork.Ilhan Omar with Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi. Omar called the pre-dawn raid on her Washington home the "latest escalation" in a decade-long "campaign of political intimidation.
Federal agents raided Ilhan Omar's Washington home before dawn on Monday as part of a criminal investigation reportedly focused on immigration paperwork filed by her late father when she was a child refugee. Trump called her 'totally crooked' at the White House before flying to a rally in Ohio, where he branded her 'a disaster' and said she 'comes from a country without laws.' The raid came just three weeks before the midterm elections, openly breaking a longstanding Justice Department convention against overt investigative steps near polling day.
Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed the probe — codenamed 'World War 11' after Omar's viral gaffe — had been 'ongoing for a while.'
House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries called the raid 'deeply disturbing,' warning Trump's 'violent mass deportation machine' had descended on a sitting congresswoman's home.
Omar's campaign swiftly turned the raid into a fundraising pitch, urging supporters to donate from $10 to 'fight back against this ludicrous, partisan investigation.'
