Federal agents searched Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home on Monday morning as part of a criminal investigation, according to people familiar with the matter.

The search was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations agents, said the people, who were not authorized to publicly discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity. More details about the investigation were not immediately clear.

        I think I was wrong, and it was just a warrant and not an indictment. I was wrong my bad.

        It should have needed an indictment, but it’s a moot point really as indictments were meant as a check against unjust prosecution, but have been changed into a tool of prosecutors.

      Indictments are not public, they are secret, and something like this needs an indictment.
