At a Youngstown rally, President Donald Trump attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar and Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, prompting “deport” chants from the crowd. The article also reports that federal agents searched Omar’s home and that officials did not say whether the search was related to her.
Trump criticized Omar and El-Sayed at a rally for Republican candidates in Ohio, calling El-Sayed a “jihadist” and making disparaging remarks about Omar and people of Somali descent. The crowd chanted “deport” during the event. Omar called Trump’s actions a campaign of political intimidation; El-Sayed had previously said attacks on his name and faith distracted from economic concerns.
The article says federal agents searched Omar’s Washington home hours before the rally. A Justice Department spokesperson described a judicially authorized search warrant in an ongoing criminal investigation but did not say the investigation was related to Omar. Trump said he had “nothing to do” with the search.
