Agents search Ilhan Omar's home

Federal Homeland Security agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., as part of a criminal investigation, people familiar with the matter said.
I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

Everything about the raid on Rep. Omar’s residence is shameful. Everyone involved should lose their jobs. For a start.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995.
The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders.
Desperation is dangerous.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Re Ilhan Omar
Worth your time: Oct 1992 letter from Republican US Attorney on an investigatory step before election:
"[I]t amounts to prosecutorial misconduct and violates the most basic fundamental rule of Department of Justice policy. I cannot be a party to such actions."

Omar arrived in US with asylum in 1995 and became a US citizen in 2000. Regime's own argument is that they are looking to see if her late father did something wrong in his application: if Omar were not a political opponent, there is 0% chance they would investigate asylum claim of dead father.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

This is a naked attempt to use the federal government to intimidate Rep Omar with threat of denaturalization and deportation. Saying anything else is just amplification of government propaganda.

Why would a physical search of Omar’s home in 2026 be relevant to or necessary for an investigation into whether her dad filled out a form incorrectly decades ago?
If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.
