The Guardian reported on October 13 that Rep. Ilhan Omar, the Democratic representative for Minnesota, said she “will not be silenced” after the Justice Department raided her home. Omar criticized the search as an attempt to “weaponize law enforcement” against her and linked the raid to what she described as a “campaign of political intimidation.”

Democrats described the Justice Department raid as “deeply disturbing” and a “rogue abuse of power” by the Trump administration, the outlet reported.

President Donald Trump said he was not involved in ordering the Justice Department to search Omar’s home. According to the Guardian, Omar has long been a target of highly personal attacks by Trump.

The Guardian’s account was published as part of the outlet’s “Today in Focus: The Latest” video segment, with Guardian US political reporter Shrai Popat discussing the search with host Lucy Hough. The outlet’s brief did not include details about the legal basis for the search, when the action took place, or any underlying charges or allegations.
