tl;dr

Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as part of a criminal investigation, and the Justice Department confirmed that agents had a judicially authorized warrant. The department gave no details; the article recounts Vice President J.D. Vance’s earlier immigration-fraud accusations against Omar, which she has denied.
