Obama defends Ilhan Omar after federal raid on her home as part of immigration fraud investigation

Federal agents from DHS Homeland Security Investigations raided the Washington D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as part of a criminal immigration fraud investigation. Agents seized Omar's phone and personal records, and subpoenas were issued to her relatives. Former President Barack Obama publicly defended Omar, calling the investigation politically motivated and the administration's actions 'appalling.'
