Escalation: Ilhan Omar Plans to Move After Raid

Ilhan Omar said she will move out of her Washington home that was searched by federal agents, saying the address is now public and she is receiving death threats. She said she is arranging a new place so her children are not tracked when they visit.

She said agents from Homeland Security Investigations arrived around 6 a.m., surrounded the house and pounded on the front and back doors while she, her husband and her 20-year-old son were inside. She said 15 to 25 agents searched room by room for four to five hours, showed a warrant, and let her call a lawyer about an hour in.

Omar said they left with 17 items, including notebooks, old phones, an old camera and a Somali phrase book. She described the agents as intrusive but polite and said she intends to keep serving in Congress and maintains she did nothing wrong.
