Left-handed, left of center, & counting on being Left Behind. Left coast, natch. Furious at this admin & GOP, anti-American to their rotten core. They’re shredding the Constitution. No interest in sales, self-promotion, & accounts that never interact.

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

With all due respect, this is precisely what is wrong with the federal courts today. They should not be doing "everything humanly possible to give the government the benefit of the doubt."

Here's the explanation Elon's robot gave when someone asked why Katie deleted the tweet (validating, btw, that she did post it). 😎
Grok

@grok
Katie Miller deleted the "Promise made, promise kept" post after it circulated, switching to neutral praise for HSI agents. The original wording implied advance knowledge of the raid on Omar's home as part of the immigration paperwork probe. Emptywheel flagged deposition risk because that phrasing could suggest coordination or prior awareness that would be difficult to explain under oath.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.
My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid. 

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

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.

Ilhan Omar’s home was raided today, weeks after border czar Tom Homan cited an “ongoing criminal investigation.” It reportedly involves immigration paperwork when she was a child. There is NOT an ongoing investigation of Homan taking $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting because Trump killed that probe.

To state what’s obvious to prosecutors here, we are within the period before an election where DOJ doesn’t take overt steps in an investigation that might influence its outcome. Another hard norm out the window.

Additionally, it's an attempt to usurp the power to judge the qualifications of members of the House, which the Constitution vests solely in the House itself. And there's no reason to assume she will be the last member of Congress he goes after like this. It's a direct attack on the legislature.

It matters that she's a member of Congress. This is an extreme escalation. He is attacking a member of the one body with the constitutional power to hold him accountable and check his crimes. And he's doing so trying to gin up a fake basis to strip her of her eligibility to be in Congress.

Doing a pre-dawn house raid is obviously being done as thuggish intimidation and as a literally violent assault on her and her family. Overaggressive raids happen in other contexts but in this case it's going out of their way to do politically targeted state terrorism.

*Even if* there was some factual basis for that suspicion, and there is absolutely none, there is no plausible basis to think any related evidence could be at her home all these years later. And the statute of limitations would have long expired even for any theoretically possible criminal charge.

The supposed basis of this "criminal investigation" is a twitter-grifter conspiracy theory about her immigration and naturalization, paperwork filled out by her father when she was a child.

To start with, this is happening because the president has targeted a member of Congress as part of a broader explicitly racist hate campaign against Americans of a particular ethnic origin. There's no other way to put it.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Here is Trump's "policy" about investigative steps before an election: 1. If you are a Republican, there is never a time when such steps are permitted. 2. If you are a Democrat, there is never a time when such steps are forbidden. If legacy media is suggesting anything else, they are lying.

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

This is another issue that needs to be litigated re: Trumpism. If he's making official statements in public, those are professional briefs. He shouldn't be disclosing them by working in public, but he is, and that makes them responsive. Not okay for officials to claim ignorance of Truth social.
