Federal authorities are reportedly building a case that could lead to the deportation of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive "squad" in Congress. The development follows a raid on the Minnesota Democrat's Washington D.C. home by Homeland Security investigators on Monday.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, agents seized Omar's cellphone, notebooks, personal computers, and passport. The raid is part of at least two federal investigations examining allegations of immigration fraud and the inflation of her net worth by tens of millions of dollars in House disclosure forms.
Further details about the specific nature of the immigration fraud allegations and the timeline of the investigations have not yet been released.
