Outrageous Federal Raid on Ilhan Omar: Qualitative Step Toward One-Man Rule

The vindictive raid by the Department of Homeland Security on the home of Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar on October 12, 2026, was a dangerous escalation of Trump’s drive toward one-man rule.

Ilhan Omar (Democrat, Minnesota) is aimed at building a case to strip her of her US citizenship and ultimately deport her.” Protests are needed to demand: ‘End Investigation of Congresswoman Now!’
