US immigration agents have searched the home of Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar as part of a criminal investigation.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents "executed a judicially authorised search warrant" for the property in the Washington DC area, a US justice department spokesperson said.
The search "is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation", the spokesperson said, but no further details were given. The US Congress is currently out of session and it is unclear if Omar was at home.
Omar, a Democrat and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, described the search as "an attempt to target political enemies and weaponise federal law enforcement".
