Omar fires five-word warning at Trump after DHS search of her D.C. home
Rep. Ilhan Omar answered a pre-dawn Homeland Security search of her Washington home with a five-word warning to President Trump, casting a multi-year immigration probe as political intimidation while agents carried out boxes.
Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a search warrant at the Minnesota Democrat’s Northeast Washington residence early Monday morning, and neighbors later saw them removing boxes of materials from the property.
A neighbor described loud banging around 4 or 5 a.m. and a man screaming for the door to be opened. Omar, 44, soon took to X to say she was unharmed and to frame the action as the latest strike in what she called a long campaign against her. The five words she directed at the president were plain: “I will not be silenced.”
The New York Post reported that sources familiar with the law enforcement action said the congresswoman is the subject of a multi-year probe tied to her immigration history. Those sources indicated the inquiry may stem from her father making a false statement on paperwork.
Omar’s first message mixed reassurance with accusation.
“I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement,”
she wrote on X. She continued in the same vein:
“For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.”
She added the personal line aimed at the president: “I will not be silenced.”
