Federal agents searched the home of Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar just weeks before the US midterm elections, triggering a political storm in Washington.

The Justice Department says the search is linked to an ongoing criminal investigation, but no charges have been announced, and the scope of the inquiry remains unclear.

Omar, a longtime critic of Donald Trump, called the raid political intimidation. DW examines whether the operation was a legitimate law enforcement action or a case increasingly shaped by election politics.
