Condemn the HSI Raid on Rep. Omar as Political Persecution

Speak out against the October 12th HSI raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home. A sitting member of Congress had her residence searched at 6 a.m. over immigration paperwork filled out by her father when she was a child. This is not law enforcement — this is the federal government being weaponized against a political opponent. Tom Homan telegraphed this investigation publicly in September. The White House and DHS refused to comment. That is not how legitimate criminal investigations work. That is how political intimidation campaigns work. No president should be able to sic federal agents on elected officials whose politics he dislikes, and every member of Congress — regardless of party — should recognize that precedent as a direct threat to democratic governance. I need you to publicly condemn this raid and push for congressional oversight of how HSI and DOJ are selecting their targets. If this can happen to a sitting congresswoman over decades-old paperwork, it can happen to anyone. Stand up now, before this becomes the new normal.
