Ilhan Omar, a Muslim representative of the US Congress, accused Donald Trump of political intimidation after agents of the Department of Homeland Security raided his home. This Minnesota Democratic state representative, who was born in Somalia, described this attack as a tool used by law enforcement several weeks before the US midterm elections. US media say the search warrant is related to an investigation into the immigration documents that Ms. Omar's father filed on her behalf when she was a child.

Donald Trump said his case was being investigated "very carefully". Democratic Party leaders described the raid as "very disturbing."

Tom Homan, head of border affairs for the US government, announced last month that a criminal investigation was underway against Ms. Omar.

Mrs. Omar is one of the supporters of the Palestinians in the American Congress, and Donald Trump has made her the target of his criticism many times. In 2018, Ilhan Omar was elected as a representative of the US House of Representatives from one of the constituencies of the state of Minnesota. Getty Images
