Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar said she can no longer live in her Washington DC home after it was searched by federal agents last week, fearing her address has been exposed after the raid.
“With the death threats that I deal with, it’s not, it’s no longer going to be feasible to be in that house and have my kids,” she told MSN NOW.
In Omar’s first public interview since the pre-dawn search of her home, she detailed how Homeland Security Investigations agents seized over a dozen items, including cell phones and notebooks, as part of an investigation.
The government has not said what crime Omar is accused of but that the raid was “part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation”.
