Federal Agents Search Ilhan Omar's Washington Home
Federal agents searched the Washington, D.C., home of Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar early Monday, PBS NewsHour reports. Agents with Homeland Security Investigations were seen carrying boxes from the home, and Omar accused the Trump administration of political intimidation. That accusation is hers — the report carries it as a charge rather than a finding — and PBS's Geoff Bennett discussed the search with Devlin Barrett, a New York Times reporter and author of the book *The Department of Revenge*.

The intimidation charge is the political headline, but it's Omar's characterization. PBS reports it as an accusation, not as a conclusion anyone has established.
The institutional detail deserves equal weight: the search was carried out by Homeland Security Investigations, which makes this federal action rather than a local matter.
