Ilhan Omar opposes the Trump administration's investigation of her home

Washington – Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a member of the Democratic Party of the United States, has opposed an investigation conducted by federal agents at her home, accusing President Donald Trump's administration of using the investigation for political gain, while also requesting the return of the property that was seized.

Lawyers representing Ilhan Omar sent a letter on Friday to the prosecutors of the U.S. Department of Justice, questioning the legality of the investigation and the manner in which it was carried out. The letter, which was obtained by CNN, stated that the investigation is described as a political vendetta against one of the prominent critics of President Trump in Congress.

The lawyers argued that this action violates Ilhan Omar's constitutional rights and poses a threat to the separation of powers in the United States government.

According to sources familiar with the investigation, the U.S. administration has thoroughly searched the congresswoman's home located in the vicinity of Washington, DC. The investigation is related to allegations of fraud concerning immigration matters, information that is said to be false that was recorded in government documents, and the possibility of a conspiracy.

Federal agents executed the search warrant on the morning of Monday, after a federal judge signed the order. According to the information provided, the order also limited the Department of Justice's ability to access certain documents.

Ilhan Omar has firmly opposed the legal basis of the investigation, noting that she became a U.S. citizen in 2000, after fleeing Somalia in 1995.

Their attorneys, Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz, stated in a letter sent to prosecutors that there is no legal basis to support the allegations related to the congresswoman's citizenship status.

They also requested that all recordings and voices captured by federal agents during the home investigation be preserved, so they can serve as evidence if a legal dispute arises regarding the manner in which the operation was conducted.

The attorneys added that there are concerns regarding the procedures followed, stating that the Office of the General Counsel of the House of Representatives was not informed of the investigation until the matter became public through the media.

The letter also noted that a judge in Washington had established specific procedures regarding the notification of the House of Representatives, Ilhan Omar, and her attorneys, as she is a congresswoman and has constitutional rights related to her position.

The attorneys expressed concern that the investigators may have violated the judge's guidelines, which they said could raise legal questions about the manner in which the investigation was conducted.

On the other hand, spokespeople for the U.S. Department of Justice have not yet responded to questions from CNN regarding the allegations made by the congresswoman's attorneys.
