Log in The home of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar has been searched by federal agents as part of a criminal investigation, according to a report. Omar’s home was raided Monday morning by agents with Homeland Security Investigations, the Department of Homeland Security’s investigative unit, according to Fox News Digital. The raid comes as Omar, the first Somali American elected to Congress, has drawn President Donald Trump’s ire for years and has called for her to be investigated. “Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation,” a Justice Department spokesperson told the outlet. The Independent has contacted the Justice Department for further information. The president has routinely used derogatory and inflammatory language to describe Omar and the Somali population in Minnesota. After she was elected seven years ago, Trump said she should “go back” to her home country.
