The internet is reacting to the news of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home reportedly being raided by DHS agents on Monday morning.
Reporting from Fox News indicates that Homeland Security was involved in the operation, and video shows a number of agents, including one who refused to confirm what they were doing in the area.

“Two sources close to the investigation say the search stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child,” the outlet wrote. “The raid of the Somali-born congresswoman’s home started around 6 a.m. with HSI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) leading the operation. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is also involved in the investigation.”
A DOJ spokesperson confirmed that a warrant was executed, but was stingy with details.
“Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation,” they said, later adding that the investigation is “criminal” in nature.
On X, Omar assured her supporters that she is “okay” and blasted the reported raid as “an attempt to target political enemies.”
Look:
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.

X users had a lot to say:
Can she “not be silenced” from Somalia?

You want that same federal law enforcement used against me because I have an AR-15.
You will find zero sympathy here.
