Donny’s secret police have now raided the home of a US Representative….but no details were provided…
Federal agents searched Democratic US Rep. Ilhan Omar’s DC-area home on Monday morning as part of a criminal investigation, according to people familiar with the matter. The search was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations agents, said the people, who were not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity. More details about the investigation were not immediately clear, reports the AP. An email seeking comment was sent Monday to a representative for Omar.
The Justice Department said in a statement Monday that HSI agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the department in the Washington, DC, area but provided no other details. “This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation,” the department said. Omar, 44, represents Minnesota’s 5th District, including Minneapolis. She was first elected to the House in 2018 and has been known as a member of what’s called “The Squad” of female lawmakers known for their progressive views and pointed opposition to President Trump.
No details? I have few ….she is a Muslim or she is an immigrants daughter or she is brown or she is a Dem and a member of the ‘the squad’ or…..
This is ridiculous and pathetic overreach by Donny and the mindless morons in the government. Donny has hated this woman for 10 years.
After the raid Donny had plenty to say….
President Trump told reporters on Monday he had no role in the surprise federal raid of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s residence, but he sounded a note of support about it. “I think she’s a terrible person, but that’s really up to the DOJ—I have nothing to do with it,” he said, reports the Hill. Trump added that “I understand that they’re looking at her very carefully,” without providing details. “I’ve always found her to be a totally crooked personally.” The Justice Department has said only that the search relates to a criminal investigation, but multiple reports say the investigation centers on longstanding allegations from Omar’s critics on the right that her family committed immigration fraud when emigrating from Somalia decades ago.
Trump said, per NBC News. “She’s telling us about the Constitution, and she comes from one of the worst countries anywhere on the planet.” He triggered chants of “Deport!” about her and Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan, whom he described as a “jihadist,” adding, “They don’t belong in America. Better get them the hell out of here.”
He called her a crook…..think about that for a moment….
What a douche!
But this incident gives me a chance to teach a little history….back in the early days of the USSR Lenin formed the Cheka, a secret police, that would ferret out enemies of the state (or so the story goes)….
The Cheka (Vecheka) Secret Police was created by Vladimir Lenin’s Soviet government in December 1917 to ruthlessly stamp out all opposition to the Bolshevik Revolution. During the Russian Civil War, the Cheka operated without restrictions of any kind, arresting, torturing, and executing without trial tens of thousands of citizens deemed enemies of the state. The Cheka, dissolved in 1922, was the first of many Soviet incarnations of a secret police force which involved itself in every aspect of public and private life in the USSR.
Confused? Think NKVD or KGB….if that still has one head scratching then think Gestapo tactics.
Donny has the FBI and DHS as his personal police force….ICE as his personal attack arm all in an attempt to hold onto his ‘revolution’….he just cannot have people in opposition to his will.
So was this raid on the Rep’s home in retribution for her opposition?
Trump has not been shy about wanting to use federal law enforcement to target his perceived political enemies. He’s pushed prosecutions of former FBI Director James Comey and New York’s Democratic Attorney General, Letitia James, following earlier probes the two launched against him. Omar, a left-wing firebrand, has been a longtime target of Trump and Republicans in general.
…
Omar has long criticized Trump, and the president has likewise gone after her repeatedly over the years. Trump late last week alluded to possible action against the congresswoman. At a rally in Tennessee on Saturday, Trump referred pejoratively to Omar as coming from a country of “crime and squalor” and suggested that Vice President JD Vance “and our people” were investigating her.
The agents who searched Omar’s home, pursuant to a federal search warrant, were Homeland Security investigators, indicating the investigation regards immigration issues. Several Trump officials have suggested that is how they intend to pursue Omar.
Vance has suggested before that Omar committed immigration fraud. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin last month cited an “ongoing investigation” that he suggested was examining potential fraud on her family’s immigration paperwork.

This is a pathetic attempt by a disgusting little man to influence an election.
The sooner we drop the presidential bozo the better.
Thoughts?

“lego ergo scribo”
The way he insults and reviles her in public is unforgivable. He is not only the worst president in US history, he is one of the most despicable people who has ever lived.
Best wishes, Pete.
A con man calling someone else crooked just blows me away…..chuq
