Ilhan Omar says US agents seized 17 items in raid designed to ‘freak’ her out

Democrat, in first interview since pre-dawn raid, denies immigration fraud and says I have a legal right to be a member of Congress'

The Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar denied allegations of immigration fraud in a Wednesday appearance on MS Now, her first interview since federal agents raided her residence last week.

Those in Donald Trump's orbit - cabinet officials and rightwing influencers alike - have promoted baseless theories about the Democratic congresswoman, accusing Omar of being in a sham marriage with her brother and fudging details of her immigration paperwork.
