The department said Homeland Security Investigations carried out the search under a warrant secured by the Justice Department. Its public statement did not identify the person whose property was searched or disclose the full scope of the investigation.

Representative Ilhan Omar’s office confirmed the search at her Washington home and condemned the action in a statement issued the same day.

The congresswoman’s office described the search as an abuse of power and accused the administration of using federal law enforcement to target political opponents. It also stated that Omar had done nothing wrong.

Those remarks represent Omar’s position on the search. The publicly identified information cited here does not independently establish the investigation’s purpose or the basis for the warrant.

The Justice Department’s statement described the search as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation but did not publicly detail the evidence under examination.
