THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING FIVE ALARM FIRE. The President is weaponizing DOJ to go after an opposition leader. It's a massive completely unjustified abuse of power by his secret police to shut down dissent and we won't stand for it. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

Federal Agents Search Home of Rep. Ilhan Omar
The search takes places within the 60-day window of the midterm elections, when the Justice Department has historically avoided such investigative steps related to political candidates.

Why would a physical search of Omar’s home in 2026 be relevant to or necessary for an investigation into whether her dad filled out a form incorrectly decades ago?

WASHINGTON—Trump’s federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home over decades-old “immigration paperwork” her father filled out when she was a kid. No charges. Breaking DOJ norms. Over the cliff, folks.

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.

So it's not even tied to all of the other MAGA conspiracy theories and accusations they've lobbed at her over the years, such as her marrying her brother or being the ringleader of a Medicaid fraud ring. Instead, it's about paperwork her dead father filled out 40 years ago when she came to the US.
