Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington home

Federal agents searched Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C., home on Monday as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, prompting Omar and other Democrats to accuse the Trump administration of targeting a political opponent.

A Justice Department spokesperson told TIME that Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant obtained by the department. Officials did not disclose the investigation’s basis or provide further details.

Reuters, citing a person familiar with the matter, reported that the inquiry concerns alleged immigration fraud and includes immigration paperwork completed by Omar’s late father when she was a child. Omar, who was born in Somalia, became a U.S. citizen in 2000 at age 17. Her office said she had done nothing wrong and called the search “an outrageous abuse of power.”

“I’m ok,” Omar wrote on X. She described the search as an attempt “to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement,” adding that President Donald Trump had pursued a campaign of political intimidation against her. “I will not be silenced,” she said.

House Democratic leaders Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar called the search “deeply disturbing” and promised to seek accountability. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz also condemned it. Omar, who is seeking a fifth House term, later sent supporters a fundraising email centered on the investigation, according to The Hill.
