"I don't feel safe here": After the authorities' raid, the anti-Israel congresswoman leaves her home

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is leaving her home in Washington after a federal raid, claiming she does not feel safe. The background: an investigation into suspected fraud in immigration documents.

Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar announced today (Thursday) that she will move out of her home in Washington, D.C., after federal agents raided it. Omar noted that the attention the raid brought made her feel unsafe. The background to the raid is a federal investigation opened on suspicion of fraud in her family's immigration documents. Omar, a native of Somalia, said in an interview that she is sure she did nothing wrong. According to her, the agents searched for four to five hours and seized 17 items, including phones, notebooks, a children's book in Somali, and a vintage camera. The Justice Department provided few details, other than that it is a criminal investigation. Omar arrived in the U.S. at age 12 with her family, which was granted political asylum, and became a citizen in 2000.
