— Democrats cheered Mar-a-Lago raid in 2022, but now call search of Omar’s home “weaponization”.

Federal agents searched the home of Representative Ilhan Omar as part of a criminal investigation into her immigration history and potential paperwork fraud.

Democratic lawmakers criticized the move as political “weaponization,” sparking comparisons to their support for the 2022 search of Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

The home of Representative Ilhan Omar is searched by federal agents at WASHINGTON D.C. on 10/14/2026.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
