Former President Barack Obama on Sunday condemned federal agents’ raid on the Washington, D.C., home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., calling it a “transparent” effort by the Trump administration to “intimidate” her.
asserted
Obama → condemn → her
“The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president,” Obama wrote on X.
Federal agents raided the Washington home last week as part of a probe into Omar, who has been outspoken against President Donald Trump and his policies.

who → bring → Trump
The timing of the search alarmed Justice Department veterans because it fell so close to the midterm elections and occurred during a federal holiday.

it → alarm → holiday
Obama also rebuked the administration’s apparent efforts to deport Omar, who was born in Somalia but was naturalized as a U.S. citizen at 17 years old.
asserted
who → rebuke → citizen
“Now the Administration is actively trying to deport Congresswoman Omar, seemingly based solely on the unsubstantiated theory that she was actually 18 when her father was naturalized, and therefore is not a citizen,” Obama wrote.

Obama → try → theory
“Federal agents have raided her home, confiscated personal records, and seized her phone — all to try and uncover a nonexistent smoking gun from 20 years ago that will somehow make their case.”

Omar tied the raid to Trump last week, calling it “an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.”

asserted
Trump → target → lies
This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation,” Omar wrote on X.
The lengthy statement is unusual for Obama, who has been selective about using his voice after having left office nearly a decade ago.
asserted
who → write → office
Obama called Omar “one of the Trump administration’s fiercest critics,” which he tied to Trump’s efforts to “repeatedly single her out as someone who he believes does not belong in this country.”
asserted
he → call → country
“The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views.
asserted
they → engage → views
Because if this becomes the new normal, there’s no reason to believe it will stop with her — or that future presidents, in either party, won’t do the same,” he wrote.
asserted
he → become → same
He said last week that the search had “nothing to do” with him, adding it was “really up to the DOJ” — and called Omar “a terrible person.”
asserted
it → say → Omar
At a rally last week, Trump attacked Omar and Somali immigrants, leading to chants of “deport” from the crowd.
asserted

Trump wrote on Truth Social this year that he would like to see Omar sent back to Somalia.
