US immigration authorities raid Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar's home

U.S. federal immigration authorities executed a search warrant on Monday morning at the home of Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into alleged immigration fraud. The operation occurred just three weeks before the upcoming midterm elections.

The timing of the raid has drawn fierce criticism from congressional Democrats, who accused the Trump administration of weaponizing government agencies to target political adversaries ahead of the election.
