Armed federal agents searched the home of Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar in Washington D.C. on Monday morning. What sounds like a scene from a political thriller is a real raid – and it comes at a sensitive moment: the US midterm elections are just 60 days away.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed the search. Agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) entered the politician's apartment in the morning as part of a "criminal investigation." According to US media, the focus is on allegations of immigration fraud – claims that President Donald Trump and his allies have been leveling for months and using to demand Omar's deportation from the United States.
The timing is explosive: the Justice Department has historically avoided taking investigative steps against political candidates within a 60-day window before an election. With the raid on Omar, that unwritten custom has been broken – against one of Trump's sharpest critics in Congress, no less.

Omar was first elected to Congress in 2018. The Somalia-born Muslim lawmaker has been the focus of conservative attacks for years and responded to the search herself on Monday with a social media post.
