据美国司法部发言人及一位知情人士透露，联邦官员于周一早些时候对明尼苏达州联邦众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔位于华盛顿地区的住所执行了搜查令。奥马尔一直是唐纳德·特朗普政府持续抨击的目标。
美国司法部周一在一份声明中表示，国土安全调查局（国土安全部负责刑事调查的分支部门）的调查人员“执行了由司法部获取的、经司法机关批准的搜查令”。
“此次执法行动是 ongoing 联邦刑事调查的一部分，”司法部发言人说道。
声明未提及该调查的具体内容。美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）已联系国土安全部和奥马尔置评。
奥马尔目前正在寻求连任，而搜查令是在中期选举仅数周前执行的。
尽管当局未说明此次搜查的缘由，但政府官员此前曾暗示她正面临调查。
白宫边境事务专员汤姆·霍曼上月在福克斯新闻频道节目中表示，有关奥马尔“存在一些状况”，随后补充道：“但我无法透露相关细节。”
霍曼周一上午在福克斯新闻频道节目中证实了搜查令已被执行，但未提供其他信息。
“调查的具体细节，我认为应该交由托德·布兰奇或马克韦恩·马林来说明，”他说道，“我不想抢先对正在进行的调查发表评论。”

周一早些时候，国土安全部官员在众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔华盛顿特区住所的调查现场待命。
奥马尔出生于索马里，在该国内战最激烈的时期长大。她在青少年时期逃往美国，后来成为美国公民。她于2018年首次当选国会议员，并成为“国会进步小组”（Squad）的成员，该团体由多名少数族裔女性议员组成，以推动进步事业而闻名。
自进入国会以来，她一直是种族主义恶语攻击的目标，其中包括特朗普的攻击。特朗普去年曾称奥马尔是“垃圾”，并表示索马里人“应该回到他们的原籍国”。
她位于明尼苏达州的选区今年早些时候成为大规模移民执法行动的目标，该行动引发了抗议者与移民当局之间的激烈冲突，并导致两名抗议政府移民政策的美国公民遭枪击身亡。
包括国土安全部部长马林在内的政府高级官员指责奥马尔与兄长结婚，以帮助其获得美国公民身份，但他们并未提供任何证据支持这一指控。
霍曼上月在福克斯新闻频道节目中谈及奥马尔时表示：“如果有人违反了移民法规、存在婚姻欺诈或类似行为，无论他是国会议员与否，没有人能凌驾于法律之上。”
当被问及这是否意味着正对奥马尔展开公开调查时，霍曼回应道：“我可以确认移民海关执法局（ICE）正在——正如我数月前所说，这件事已经被报道过，需要进行调查。”
在距离选举如此之近的阶段，司法部对一名竞选公职的人员采取如此激进的调查步骤实属罕见。明尼苏达州的投票工作已全面展开，据该州务卿的数据，已有超过12.7万人提前投票。
在往年，司法部会在选举前60天谨慎行事，避免进行可能不利于某一候选人的搜查或指控。司法部政策还禁止检察官和调查人员选择调查时机以影响选举。
一位熟悉调查情况的消息人士周一告诉CNN，鉴于选举临近，司法部高级领导层经过深思熟虑后批准了此次搜查，最终由一名联邦法官批准了搜查令。
此外，当调查涉及国会议员时，司法部还有特殊政策要求获得额外批准，而美国宪法对议员与立法工作相关的文件和通讯提供了额外保护。

Federal officers carry out search at Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s DC-area home

Federal officers early on Monday executed a search warrant at the DC-area home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota congresswoman who has been the persistent target of ire from President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a Justice Department spokesperson and a source familiar with the matter.
The Department of Justice said in a statement on Monday that investigators from Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security that handles criminal investigations, “executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice.”
“This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation,” a DOJ spokesperson said.
The statement did not indicate what the investigation entailed. CNN has reached out to DHS and Omar for comment.
Omar is currently running for reelection and the search warrant was executed only weeks before the midterms.
While authorities have not said what prompted the search, administration officials have previously indicated that she was facing an investigation.
White House Border Czar Tom Homan said on Fox News last month that “things are going on” in relation to Omar, before adding: “But I can’t give the specifics of what’s happening.”
Speaking to Fox on Monday morning, Homan confirmed the search warrant was executed, but provided no other information.
“The specifics of the investigation, I think I need to turn that over to Todd Blanche or Markwayne Mullin,” he said. “I don’t want to get ahead of them commenting on an ongoing investigation.”

Omar was born in Somalia and grew up at the peak of that country’s civil war. She fled to the US as a teenager and later became a US citizen. She was first elected to Congress in 2018 and became part of the “Squad,” a group of female women of color congresswomen known for pushing for progressive causes.
Since joining Congress, she has been the target of racist vitriol, including from Trump, who called Omar “garbage” last year and said Somalis should “go back to where they came from.”
Her home district in Minnesota was the target of an expansive immigration-enforcement campaign earlier this year that led to violent clashes between protesters and immigration authorities and the fatal shootings of two US citizens who were protesting the administration’s immigration surge.
Top administration officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Mullin, have accused Omar of marrying her brother to help bring him into the United States. They have provided no proof of this claim.
Homan said on Fox News last month, referencing Omar, that if “someone committed immigration violation, someone committed marriage fraud, or anything like that, regardless if they’re a congressman or not, no one’s above the law.”
Asked specifically whether that means there was an open investigation into Omar, Homan responded: “I’m confirming that ICE is — yeah, like I said months ago, that is something that’s been reported and needs to be looked at.”
It is unusual for the Justice Department to take such an aggressive investigative step toward a person running for office so close to an election. Voting is well underway in Minnesota, with more than 127,000 people having already voted, according to data from the secretary of state.
In prior years, the department has treaded cautiously for the 60-day period before an election day to not make searches or levy charges that would disadvantage a candidate. Department policy also bars prosecutors and investigative agents from selecting timing in an investigation so that it would influence an election.
Top Justice Department leadership signed off on the search after thorough deliberations given the proximity to the election, and a federal judge ultimately approved it, a source familiar with the investigation told CNN on Monday.
The Justice Department also has special policies requiring additional approvals when investigations involve a member of Congress, and the Constitution provides additional protections for members around papers and communications that relate to their legislative work.
