Today, three weeks before a national election:

Federal agents searched the Washington, D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Monday morning.

The Department of Justice said in a statement to NPR that agents with Homeland Security Investigations “executed a judicially authorized search warrant.”

The warrant was approved by the DOJ and is part of an “ongoing federal investigation.” Federal authorities did not give further details on the reason for the probe.

This morning:

Ilhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.

I will not be silenced.

Some of the responses to Representative Ilhan Omar (D):

This is fascism!

Its BEEN fascism for a long time

I think him, like you and many other white men, have just figured out that the rest of us weren’t using hyperbole when we were calling people Nazis 15+ yrs ago

From a white man, I’ve been warning people about Trump since the Central Park Five. Gender and race have nothing to do with calling out fascism when it’s obvious

I’ve watched Trump since 1973. He’s always been scum.

Hello from UK where a Somalian has just been elected to Parliament. They can do what they want with their temporary powers, try to control the narrative and do some pretty awful shit like they are to you, but they can’t stop voters from supporting brilliant women. They won’t win.

If the executive branch of Govt can do this to an equal branch of Govt, this is no longer a democracy and the American system of 3 equal branches is broken.
This is tyranny.

First they come for you. Then they’ll come for the rest of us. Unless if we can stop it.

Deutschland 1939.

nevertheless, she persisted. we are with you.

I’m sick of this Racist, Fascist bullshit!

Glad you’re safe.
A search 22 days before an election breaks a norm the Justice Department has kept for decades. Trump himself invoked that same norm in 2024.
If there were a real case, it could have waited until after November 3. That it didn’t says a lot.

The anti-Somalia stuff is bonkers, but it’s getting dangerous now.

The Trump Regime is proving how mean it is again — but on the positive side, it’s made Trump look even worse, going into the midterms. He’s flailing.

I think there were many Trump voters who were receptive to the “white supremacy” message — but didn’t really understand what it meant.

This is how Trump targets his political opponents.

One of you is a patriot and fighting to make the world a better place. The other is a convicted felon.

You are a remarkable human, righteous and honorable… Exactly what this racist, Nazi regime fears the most. Your sacrifice for our nation will be remembered long after the putrid, traitorous regime is buried. Thank you!

We all have to demand accountability for this sort of thing. No justice, no peace.

And everyone with half a brain knows it. I’m so sorry this has happened to you, Ilhan. I know it doesn’t help to hear but a LOT of people are VERY angry about it.

Take care of yourself and PLEASE be safe.

It’s too late. They’ve set it. We now have all the precedence we need for Nuremberg 2.0. We need trials in 2028 for everyone Trump has used to commit his crimes, even if they’re lawmakers.
