Summary
Federal agents conducted a pre-dawn search Monday at the Washington home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as part of an ongoing immigration probe, a DOJ spokesperson confirmed to Axios. Why it matters: Searching Omar's home marks a substantial escalation of the Trump administration's fight with the outspoken progressive, who has condemned the immigration crackdown in her state. It's also an unusual move against a candidate less than a month before an election , something the Justice Department has typically avoided . The latest: President Trump said authorities are looking at Omar "very carefully"
