Feds search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home in immigration probe

Driving the news: Fox News first reported that Homeland Security Investigations agents conducted the search, citing a Justice Department statement.

• A DOJ spokesperson confirmed to Axios that DHS agents "executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice" as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.
• DHS referred Axios to the DOJ. Rep. Omar's office did not immediately respond to Axios' requests for comment.

Zoom out: Last month, border czar Tom Homan confirmed an ongoing criminal probe into Omar, though he declined to offer details.

• Fox reported Monday that the search was tied to a fraud investigation into Omar's immigration paperwork.
• The Somali native came to the U.S. in 1995 as a 12-year-old refugee.

The intrigue: President Trump has made Minnesota's Somali community one of the most frequent targets of his anti-immigration rhetoric, and Omar the face of those attacks.

• Just last week, he called on Minnesotans to "fight back" against the state's Somalian population.
• He's also specifically demanded that Omar leave the country, or that she be deported.
