Immigration agents conducted a search of the home of U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota Democrat who was first elected to Congress in 2018.
The operation was carried out by officials from the Department of Homeland Security, though the specific reasons for the search have not been disclosed in the brief announcement.
Omar has been a prominent voice in Washington, known for her outspoken criticism of former President Donald Trump and his immigration policies.
She represents Minnesota’s 5th congressional district, which includes the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs.
The search follows a broader pattern of increased scrutiny on public officials, though no further details have been released about the scope or outcome of the investigation.
