House Democrats Respond to DHS Raid on Ilhan Omar's Home

Outlets agree federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home and that Jeffries joined House Democratic leaders in condemning the search and calling for accountability. Center outlets pair Democrats’ claims of political targeting with the Justice Department’s account that the search was part of an ongoing criminal investigation. Right-leaning outlets cast the leaders’ criticism skeptically and foreground disputes over Omar’s immigration history and remarks.
