Democrats hammer Trump for late-election raid on Omar's home

Democrats are escalating criticism of the Trump administration after federal agents raided Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in the Washington area early Monday. The operation was carried out by agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), operating through Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a unit focused on major cross-border crimes. Democrats say the timing—just weeks before the Nov. 3 midterms—violates a long-standing Justice Department policy discouraging politically sensitive escalations within 60 days of elections. They are calling the raid “deeply disturbing” and part of a longstanding feud with Omar, a frequent target on the right. The Justice Department said it acted on a judicial warrant.
