Federal immigration agents in the United States have searched the home of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
A spokesperson for the US Department of Justice said agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed a judicially authorised search warrant at the property in Washington, D.C.
The spokesperson confirmed that the search was linked to an ongoing federal criminal investigation but provided no further details about the case.
The US Congress is currently out of session, and it remains unclear whether Omar was at home when the search was conducted.
Omar, a Democrat and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, described the search as an attempt to target political opponents and weaponise federal law enforcement.
Authorities have yet to disclose further information about the investigation or indicate whether any charges are expected.
