Immigration agents raid home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar

Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) on Monday carried out a raid on the Washington, DC, home of US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, on suspicion of immigration fraud. The pre-dawn raid on the Somali-born lawmaker's house was first reported by Fox News Digital, and confirmed to Fox News Business by US border czar Tom Homan, who said the Department of Justice (DOJ) was also involved. Omar has been a frequent target of US President Donald Trump since his first term in office, when she was elected to the US House of Representatives in 2018. She became the first hijab-wearing Muslim to serve in the federal legislative branch.
