Story summary

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed a predawn raid on Monday at the Washington, D.C., area home of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, following a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. The raid was part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into Omar's immigration paperwork from when she was a child, which her late father had filed on her behalf. Sources close to the probe confirmed that HSI agents carried out the search weeks after Border Czar Tom Homan announced in mid-September that Omar faced a "criminal" investigation. This development underscores growing political tensions surrounding immigration policies and their enforcement against lawmakers.
