Lawyers for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) on Friday accused federal authorities of
💥 ignoring key restrictions that a judge placed on the search of the lawmaker’s D.C. residence this week
and demanded the immediate return of all property seized from the home.
In a letter sent to Justice Department prosecutors, attorneys Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz condemned the investigation into Omar’s immigration history as a
🔸 politically motivated attack on one of Donald Trump’s chief critics,
saying it
🔥 “violates Representative Omar’s constitutional rights and threatens the separation of powers.”
They also alleged that investigators did not follow specific instructions that a U.S. magistrate judge imposed
on how the search should be carried out as they descended upon Omar’s residence in Northeast Washington on Monday, according to a copy of their letter obtained by The Washington Post.
