Wire reporting: (AP, via ABC News)
Rep. Ilhan Omar said she plans to leave her Washington, D.C., home after federal agents searched it on Oct. 12, telling MS NOW that a now-public address and death threats make it unsafe for her children to visit1,2,9.
Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, said Homeland Security Investigations agents arrived about 6 a.m., surrounded the house, and searched room by room for four to five hours after she asked for and received a warrant2,9.
She estimated 15 to 25 agents took part and said they took 17 items, including phones and notebooks, plus a camera and a Somali phrase book belonging to her husband2,3,9.
The government has not publicly specified a charge; CBS previously reported sources saying investigators were examining immigration paperwork from Omar's childhood completed by her late father2,9.
Omar said she is confident she did nothing wrong and that she has a legal right to remain in Congress1,2.
President Trump has said he had nothing to do with the search; Omar said in the interview that he had everything to do with it2,9.
Star Tribune reported that U.S. border official Tom Homan said on Fox News he was told investigators have a strong case and that deportation could follow a guilty finding; Omar's office has said she did nothing wrong3.
No charges have been announced, and the investigation remains open1,9.
