美国民主党议员伊尔汗·奥马尔的律师向司法部提出要求，要回联邦特工在搜查其住所期间缴获的物品，并声称该搜查行动"既无正当理由也不合法"1。这次搜查涉及对奥马尔移民文件的调查1。
司法部已向包括奥马尔亲属在内的人士发出超过十几份大陪审团传票，并在搜查中查没了她的手机1。奥马尔的律师要求司法部保存搜查期间拍摄的任何音频和视频1。民主党人指控前总统特朗普滥用权力针对政治对手，而奥马尔本人指责这是政治骚扰和武器化执法1。司法部发言人艾米丽·科温顿回应称律师的信件"充斥虚假指控和不准确之处"1。
特朗普否认参与调查，表示"我已发现她完全是个骗子，但这与我无关"1。特朗普曾在12月将包括奥马尔在内的索马里裔美国人称为"来自地狱的垃圾"，并称应将奥马尔赶出国1。搜查发生在11月3日中期选举前数周，当时奥马尔在选票上1。
Representatives of U.S. Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar have demanded that the Department of Justice return items seized during a federal search of her residence, contending that the operation lacked legal justification.1 The investigation centers on Omar's immigration documents, with Democratic Party officials alleging that former President Trump abused his authority to target a political opponent.1 Omar herself has characterized the action as political harassment and weaponized law enforcement.1
The search occurred in early November, weeks before midterm elections in which Omar appeared on the ballot.1 During the investigation, federal prosecutors issued more than a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including some directed at Omar's relatives, and confiscated her mobile phone.1 Omar's legal team has requested that the Department of Justice preserve any audio and video recordings made during the search.1 A Department of Justice spokeswoman, Emily Covington, responded to the attorneys' letter by asserting that it contained false allegations and inaccuracies.1
Former President Trump denied involvement in the investigation, stating "I have found her to be a total liar," while maintaining "but this has nothing to do with me."1 In December, Trump had referred to Omar and other Somali-American citizens as "garbage from hell" and called for her removal from the country.1
