## Key points

- 175 Democrats called for the investigation to stop.
- Agents searched Omar’s home on 12 October.
- The probe concerns allegations about immigration paperwork.

## Summary

Pramila Jayapal and 174 other House Democrats have urged the Trump administration to halt further investigative steps involving Ilhan Omar, arguing that the probe could influence her re-election contest. They describe the investigation and a search of her home as politically motivated interference with a free and fair election.

Federal agents searched Omar’s Washington home on 12 October under a court-authorised warrant and seized phones and notebooks. The investigation concerns allegations that Omar or her father misrepresented her birth year on immigration paperwork after the family fled Somalia; the dispute centres on whether she was under 18 when her father obtained citizenship. Omar denies wrongdoing and calls the probe a political attack, while Republicans have said she should face consequences if the allegations are proved.
