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. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/10/16/rep-ilhan-omars-lawyers-say-authorities-ignored-judges-restrictions-home-search/
