Raw Story: “It’s very significant that the raid against Ilhan Omar was conducted by Homeland Security. That means the warrant is specifically looking for evidence that she committed immigration fraud so they can denaturalize and deport her.” Now do Melania. #SheShed #VoteBlue26

Trump’s Department of Homeland Security raids the home of House representative Ilhan Omar, who represents the 5th district of Minnesota, 22 days before Minnesotans will elect their House representatives. Madness. https:// edition.cnn.com/2026/10/12/pol itics/ilhan-omar-search

Oh.... But it's Trump who is targeting political opponents Ilhan Omar has been flaunting her fraud for years. It's about time that we do ANYTHING !!

According to Trump Admin, the recklessly performative search of Ihlan Omar is about immigration fraud. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u... Perhaps now would be a good time to search Elon Musk's home as part of an investigation into his original immigration status.

The next phase of the kakistocracy has begun. If there’s one thing the # GOP hates, it’s a mouthy brown broad who isn’t afraid of them. Trump claimed without evidence that # Omar married her brother in order to obtain U.S. citizenship. The president also lashed out, calling her “garbage” while saying he did not want Somali people in the U.S. “We…

The # NaziDon WH sent # HomelandSecurity agents to search Rep. # IlhanOmar 's home today. Why?
