Immigration agents search Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar's home
US immigration agents searched the home of Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar on Monday morning as part of a "criminal investigation".
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents "executed a judicially authorized search warrant" for the home in the Washington, DC, area, a US justice department spokesperson told CBS News, the BBC's US partner.
The search "is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation," the spokesperson said but no further details were given.
