175 House Democrats fire off a letter demanding the Trump administration halt its federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar's immigration history, arguing the probe amounts to election interference with her re-election just one week away. The letter, led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal, blasts DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing them of weaponizing law enforcement against a sitting member of Congress. Federal agents executed a search warrant on Omar's D.C. home on Oct. 12, seizing phones and notebooks as part of a probe into whether Omar or her father lied about her birth year on immigration paperwork when her family fled Somalia in the late 1990s. The core question: if Omar was 18 or older when her father obtained citizenship — not 17 as previously claimed — she would not have automatically qualified for citizenship through him and would have needed to file her own application. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer has called for Omar to be jailed and deported if the allegations are proven true. Story here:
