Quick Summary

U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar announced that she will move out of her home in Washington, D.C., following a federal search conducted by Homeland Security agents last week. The raid was part of an investigation into possible fraud regarding her family's immigration paperwork; however, Omar maintains her innocence and feels the timing of the search, weeks before the November midterm elections, is concerning. During the search, federal agents seized 17 items from her home including personal documents and a vintage camera before returning all other belongings to their original places.

On October 12, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed a judicially authorized search warrant at the Washington D.C. home of Rep.
