Oof, that quote aging like milk in the sun. Honestly though, paperwork her dad filled out when she was a kid? Feels messy either way.
Omar raid outrage goes from bad to worse when internet notices her past 6-word claim: 'Couldn't agree more'
Reactions immediately started pouring in after federal authorities raided the Washington, D.C., home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., with many on social media pointing to a previous claim from Omar that "no one" is above the law.
"Rather than issue our own statement, we'll defer to Rep. Omar," the Minnesota Republican Party posted on X. "She said it best back in 2023, when the subject of a criminal investigation was someone else."
"We couldn't agree more, Congresswoman. We're sure you still feel the same way now that it's your front door. Minnesotans will be watching closely, and so will we."
"No one is above the law," the Trump War Room account posted on X. "It was an authorized search warrant approved by a federal judge as part of a criminal investigation," conservative influencer LibsofTikTok posted on X. "No one is above the law."
"Ilhan Omar was right," Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X. "Nobody is above the law."
"No one is above the law," Charlie Kirk Show executive producer Andrew Kolvet posted on X. "(And etting [sic] lectured by a Somali about the rule of law is rich. Not as rich as Rep. Omar was before she revised her financial statements, but rich.)"
"So much for ‘no one is above the law,’" conservative commentator Viva Frei posted on X. CAUGHT ON CAMERA: SQUAD DEM SQUIRMS WHEN PRESSED ON VANCE DOJ FRAUD PROBE
Omar released a response to the raid accusing the Trump administration of improperly targeting her. "I’m ok," Omar wrote on X hours after the search commenced. "Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement."
"For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns," she continued. "This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced."
Fox News Digital reached out to Omar’s office for comment. "Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investgations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation," a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The DOJ later added that the investigation was "criminal" in nature.

Omar’s home was raided by agents with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) investigation unit in the early Monday morning hours, Fox News Digital first reported, in a search that stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child. Omar has been under fire for months and faced a myriad of controversies during her time in Congress, most recently, her financial disclosures have come into focus, and questions have been raised by top officials about her path to citizenship as well. Many on social media were quick to point to a previous comment from Omar where she declared that "no one is above the law" after Trump was indicted in a hush money case that conservatives argued was based on flimsy evidence and a political prosecution.

Ok this one's got my jaw on the floor, a whole crowd chanting that is a lot. Where's everybody landing on it?
Trump rally crowd chants 'deport' as president rips Ilhan Omar after federal raid
And Ohio crowd chanted "deport" as President Donald Trump blasted Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., during a campaign rally speech on Monday night.
"She's a disaster. She comes in from a country without laws, without police, without military. All they do is shoot each other, and she comes into our country and she says, 'I have a constitutional right,'" Trump joked. "She's got a constitutional right. She's telling us about the Constitution and she's coming from one of the worst countries anywhere on the planet."
He then targeted "savage Somali gang members" who opened fire at a Minnesota high school's homecoming event last week, going on to reference the FBI's arrest of another Somali immigrant who was allegedly planning an ISIS-style attack on the Mall of America. FORMER MN STATE TROOPER TEARS INTO DEMS AS SOMALI GANG VIOLENCE TERRORIZES MINNESOTA: ‘WHERE IS ILHAN OMAR?’
"This is not what we want in this country. We don't want this," Trump said as the crowd started to chant "deport."
"They come from a part of the world that only knows how to kill each other. All they do is kill each other in the streets, and they come into the United States of America and they tell us how to run our country," he added.

Two choices" always makes me suspicious, there's usually a third one nobody wants to pay for. Curious where you all land on this.
DHS exposes dilemma behind SCOTUS deportation fight: ‘We have two choices’
The Supreme Court temporarily cleared the Trump administration to continue its third-country deportation policy this week, as DHS’ top lawyer mounts a public defense of an immigration authority the administration says previous presidents largely left dormant. DHS has increasingly used so-called "third-country" removals when a removable alien cannot be returned to their home country or that country refuses to take them back — part of what agency General Counsel James Percival describes as a broader Trump strategy of reviving immigration authorities already on the books.
TRUMP’S SPECIAL STRATEGY TO DEPORT ILLEGALS GIVES HIM ANOTHER TOOL FOR ENFORCEMENT
The justices on Tuesday stayed a lower-court judgment restricting DHS’s policy, allowing the administration’s guidance to remain in effect while the Court considers the case on the merits. Arguments are set for December over whether agency procedures comply with federal immigration law, due process and safeguards against torture. The case does not squarely challenge DHS’s underlying authority to conduct third-country removals, but rather the procedures it must follow beforehand. "It’s in the statute expressly that we can do this," he said. "If you go back and read most of the immigration laws, there's a lot of really good tools in there that people just haven't used."
The third-country provision was included in a major immigration reform package passed by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996: the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). "A lot of people in government sort of treat their authority like fine china," Percival remarked. "They're afraid if they ever actually use it, someone will take it away. And if you've ever owned fine china, it's like you can find yourself at the end of your life and you were so afraid you would break it you never used it."
TRUMP’S FIGHT OVER RARELY USED 18TH-CENTURY DEPORTATION LAW LIVES ON IN LATEST COURT CLASH
But Percival’s strategy has not come without blowback from human rights advocates, who pointed most recently to allegations that deportees were beaten by authorities in Equatorial Guinea, a tiny nation on Africa’s Atlantic coast that has been under the control of President Teodoro Obiang since 1979. Obiang's government received $7.5 million from Washington as part of an agreement with Malabo to accept third-country deportations. "I’d rather live in the United States than Equatorial Guinea too, but I’m an American citizen and I haven’t killed anybody," Percival said. The detention issue traces in part to the Supreme Court’s 2001 decision in a case involving a stateless legal resident whom the government ordered deported due to his criminal record. Kestutis Zadvydas was born to Lithuanian parents in a German displaced- persons camp, but neither Lithuania nor Germany would accept him. The court held that six months of post-removal detention is presumptively reasonable, after which continued detention can be challenged if removal is not reasonably foreseeable. Percival is making that case publicly through his "Daily Deportee" series on X, highlighting criminal deportees whose home countries will not accept them. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER
"If the person is a child rapist and serves 20 years, we have two choices: Find a third country — or let the child rapist go live in an American community," he said, adding that the effort is intended to shape public understanding of the issue and highlight its stakes. Percival cited Burmese national Kyaw Mya, whose home country won’t take him back. Percival said another case he plans to feature involves a migrant who committed a violent crime, was not removed by the Bush administrati

"Imagine going to a country and saying, hey, we've got a guy, he's not your guy, and he's a rapist, but can he please live there?" Percival told Fox News Digital. "That's not an easy ask.

Honestly did not expect to see a win like this today, feels like someone finally read the fourth amendment out loud.
Federal judge ties ICE agents' hands with ruling on warrantless Southern California arrests
A federal judge with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued a preliminary injunction to block the U.S.
"Mere presence within the United States in violation of United States immigration law is not, by itself, sufficient to conclude that a person is likely to escape before a warrant for arrest can be obtained," the judge's order notes. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California encompasses the following counties: Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. ANGEL DAD REBUKES DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS OVER SANCTUARY POLICIES AFTER DAUGHTER KILLED BY TWICE-DEPORTED FELON
"This ruling is one of the most important decisions to date in the community’s effort to end the federal government’s cruel and illegal practice of abducting people and separating them from their families," ACLU Foundation of Southern California senior staff attorney Mayra Joachin declared in a statement. "By requiring immigration agents to follow the law’s requirement to make escape risk determinations before they can arrest someone without a warrant, this court order should put an end to hundreds — if not more — of unlawful arrests that continue throughout Southern California. We will closely monitor compliance with this court order, and expect the federal government to abide by it," Joachin added. MAMDANI BLASTS FEDS FOR WAGING 'CAMPAIGN OF VIOLENCE AND TERROR' AGAINST NYC'S IMMIGRANTS
The Department of Homeland Security provided Fox News Digital with the following statement on Thursday: "ICE has authority for lawful arrests where authorized under 8 USC 1357. Law enforcement officers use 'reasonable suspicion' to investigate immigration status and probable cause to make arrests consistent with the statute and the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has already vindicated us on these practices."
