Ilhan Omar plans to move out of her Washington DC home after federal raid
US federal agents raided the congresswoman’s home last week as part of an investigation into alleged immigration fraud.
US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar says she will move out of her home in Washington, DC, citing safety concerns following a recent raid of the property by US federal agents.
In an interview with MS NOW on Wednesday, Omar spoke for the first time about the raid, noting that the incident has made her feel unsafe there.
Last week, officers searched Omar’s home with what a Justice Department spokesperson described as a “judicially authorised search warrant”, adding that the raid was part of an “ongoing federal criminal investigation”.
For years, Omar, who is Muslim, has been the target of right-wing conspiracy theories about her immigration status, including allegations that she had married her brother.
