President Donald Trump's administration has taken the unusual step of searching Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's home in Washington, just three weeks before the midterm election. Department of Justice protocol has long avoided legal action against politicians so close to voting. The Trump administration has moved to target the president's perceived foes and he has long criticized Omar and the Somali immigrant community she hails from and represents in her Minneapolis district. Administration officials have previously indicated they may target Omar over immigration issues. She became a U.S. citizen in 2000 after obtaining asylum in the United States five years earlier.
