Federal Agents Search Ilhan Omar's Home in Criminal Probe
Federal agents searched Representative Ilhan Omar's Washington home on Monday as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, the Department of Justice said.
Video from the scene showed officers wearing jackets marked Homeland Security Investigations at the residence.
The investigation is said to centre on immigration paperwork submitted by Omar's late father when she was a child, according to sources.
The search came months after President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social in January that the Justice Department was investigating Omar.
Omar said she would 'not be silenced' and called the raid the latest escalation in what she described as an intimidation campaign by Trump.
Top Democrats condemned the search as deeply disturbing, and its timing within 60 days of the midterm elections raised questions about the Justice Department's historical reluctance to take overt investigative steps involving political candidates so close to an election.
Saudi Arabia Extends Riyadh Airport Closure After Houthi Attacks
Saudi Arabia kept King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh closed after a suspected Houthi missile attack on Saturday killed 12 people and wounded more than 300, the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation said.
The dead included four Saudi citizens and nationals of Bangladesh, Palestine, the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Sudan, authorities said, adding that some of the injured were in critical condition.
The airport had already been targeted several times this week, including a Thursday strike that killed three people and damaged a plane, and was hit again within two days.
The Houthis warned people to avoid Saudi airports and claimed attacks over the weekend killed 13 people and targeted two airports and oil facilities.
The Saudi-led coalition vowed to retaliate, and President Donald Trump said the United States could join Saudi strikes against the Houthis.
The United Nations and the European Union condemned the attack.
Zelenskyy Disputes Trump's Claim of Russia-Ukraine Energy Ceasefire
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that Russia was still striking Ukrainian energy facilities after President Donald Trump announced an 'energy ceasefire' between Russia and Ukraine.
Trump said Sunday the ceasefire was 'effective immediately,' but Zelenskyy said the deal was 'news to me,' and Ukrainian officials reported that a thermal power plant in Kharkiv was hit at least twice within hours of the announcement.
Moscow did not confirm the ceasefire; the Kremlin said it would consider only a one-day truce for an election.
The announcement also drew criticism over whether it would aid Russia's war finances amid diesel shortages and rising consumer costs.
