在奥马尔的住所遭突袭后，联邦政府正对其展开两项调查，一项涉及她的移民经历，另一项针对其财务状况。
NEW 您现在可以收听福克斯新闻的文章了！
前总统巴拉克·奥巴马周日在社交媒体上引发轩然大波，他在多项针对明尼苏达州民主党众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔的移民身份和财务状况的联邦调查期间发文声援她。
“美国民主的一项基本原则是，政府不能仅仅因为个人的政治信仰或言论就有选择地针对他们，”奥巴马写道。“但特朗普政府恰恰在对明尼苏达州的伊尔汉·奥马尔众议员做这样的事。”
这位前总统在这篇长文中进一步解释称，奥马尔的处境“令人震惊”，并暗示她面临调查的原因是她批评了特朗普政府。
“想想这一点，”奥巴马说。“一名遵纪守法的民选官员只因敢于批评总统，就遭到了联邦政府的全力打压。”

奥巴马补充道：“任何总统或任何政府愿意参与如此公然的恐吓行为，这一事实理应激怒所有美国人，无论他们对奥马尔众议员的政治观点持何种看法。”
奥巴马的帖文浏览量超过500万次，很快遭到保守派人士抨击，其中许多人直指他执政时期发生的政治针对性行动，包括美国国税局（IRS）针对茶党团体的调查，以及针对时任总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普竞选团队的“跨火飓风”调查。
“这不可能是真的，”保守派评论员、前联邦调查局副局长丹·邦吉诺在X平台上发帖称。“这个 petty tyrant（原文如此） 教训我们‘美国民主’，就像一个尖叫的五岁小孩在教训别人要自控。坐下吧总统先生，所有人都知道你到底是什么货色。”
“想想这个一手炮制俄罗斯勾结骗局的人有多厚颜无耻，他和他的走狗、杀手们一起催生了上百万起恶毒的‘调查’和迫害，让联邦政府的‘全力’压在了‘整个反对党’身上，”《联邦党人》资深撰稿人本杰明·温加滕在X平台上发帖称。
“我说，这家伙不是窃听过特朗普大厦吗？”美国实验中心政策研究员比尔·格拉恩在X平台上发帖称。

“这位最初的社区组织者急着为他的门徒之一辩护，”保守派评论员迪内什·德苏扎在X平台上发帖称。“他们两人都属于一个蓄意计划，通过铲除美国的西方和基督教根源来‘去殖民化’美国。”
“就是这个家伙，他的IRS针对过茶党团体，”保守派影响者冈瑟·伊格尔曼在X平台上发帖称。“省省你的说教吧，巴拉克。”
“没有哪位总统比奥巴马更热衷于调查所谓的‘政敌’，”政治评论员马修·布罗德斯基在X平台上发帖称。“当然，如果你支持阿卜杜勒·埃尔·赛义德，你就会支持伊尔汉·奥马尔。奥巴马是美国政坛中穆斯林兄弟会（以及伊朗政权）的最初支持者。我们至今仍在应对这些后果。”
白宫周日也在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中驳斥了奥巴马的言论。
“与乔·拜登不同，特朗普总统没有将司法部武器化来对付政治对手，”白宫发言人劳伦·比斯说。“该部门专注于恢复法治，保护美国人的安全。”

特朗普否认与此次调查有关，此前他告诉记者，此事应由司法部处理。
福克斯新闻数字频道联系了奥巴马的办公室征求评论。
多位消息人士此前告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，调查人员正在核实奥马尔或她的父亲在数十年前她加入美国国籍时是否在移民文件上存在欺诈行为。福克斯新闻数字频道是首个报道联邦特工上周突袭奥马尔华盛顿住所的媒体。
此外，华盛顿特区联邦检察官让妮娜·皮尔罗宣布，其办公室正在调查奥马尔的财务披露文件，这些文件此前曾受到公众监督和国会 oversight（原文如此），但从未被官方机构调查过。
奥马尔近日在社交媒体上为自己辩护。
“特朗普领导的国土安全部的这次突袭是对权力的无耻滥用，也是联邦执法部门被武器化以打击政治敌人的前所未有的升级，”奥马尔的办公室在一份声明中说。
“十年来，唐纳德·特朗普一直用煽动性言论毫不留情地针对伊尔汉·奥马尔众议员，多次将她置于风口浪尖。现在，这些攻击升级为毫无意义的联邦突袭。这位众议员没有做错任何事。任何总统都不应动用联邦政府的权力来恐吓政治对手。”

Obama’s lengthy reaction to Omar investigation triggers instant backlash: ‘Spare me’
October 19, 2026 9:34am EDT / Fox News
Critics pointed to political targeting during Obama’s presidency, including the IRS going after Tea Party groups

Rep. Ilhan Omar is the subject of two federal investigations, one focused on her immigration history and another on her finances, after a raid at her home.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former President Barack Obama sparked an online firestorm on Sunday after posting his support for Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., amid multiple federal investigations into her immigration status and finances.
“It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say,” Obama wrote. “But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.”
The former president went on to explain in the lengthy post that the Omar situation is “appalling” and suggested the reason she is facing an investigation is that she is a critic of the Trump administration.
“Think about that,” Obama said. “The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president.”

Obama added, “The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views.”
Obama’s post, viewed over 5 million times, was quickly blasted by conservatives, many of whom pointed to the political targeting that occurred during his administration, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) going after Tea Party groups and the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into then-candidate Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
“This cannot be real,” conservative commentator and former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted on X. “This petty tyrant lecturing us about ‘American democracy’ is like being lectured by a screaming five-year-old about self-control. Sit down Mr. President, everyone knows who you really are.”
“Think about the utter gall of the man behind the Russian collusion hoax, and who, along with his henchmen and hitmen, helped bloom a million poisonous ‘probes’ and persecutions whereby the ‘full weight of the federal government’ was ‘brought down’ on the ENTIRETY OF THE OPPOSING POLITICAL PARTY,” Federalist senior contributor Benjamin Weingarten posted on X.
“Say, didn’t this guy bug Trump Tower?” Center of the American Experiment policy fellow Bill Glahn posted on X.

“The original community organizer rushes to the defense of one of his protégés,” conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza posted on X. “Both of them are part of a deliberate scheme to ‘decolonize’ America by uprooting its western and Christian roots.”
“This is the same guy whose IRS went after Tea Party groups,” conservative influencer Gunther Eagleman posted on X. “Spare me the lecture, Barack.”
“No one investigated more perceived ‘enemies’ of the administration than Obama did,” political commentator Matthew Brodsky posted on X. “Of course, if you support Abdul El Sayed, you’d support Ilhan Omar. Obama was the original booster of the Muslim Brotherhood (and the regime in Iran) in US politics. We continue to deal with those repercussions.”
The White House also pushed back on Obama’s comments in a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday.
“Unlike Joe Biden, President Trump has not weaponized the Department of Justice against his political foes,” White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis said. “The Department is focused on restoring law and order and keeping Americans safe.”

Trump has denied involvement in the investigation, previously telling reporters that the matter was up to the Justice Department.
Fox News Digital reached out to Obama’s office for comment.
Sources previously told Fox News Digital that investigators are examining whether Omar or her father committed fraud on immigration paperwork when she became a U.S. citizen decades ago. Fox News Digital was first to report that Omar’s Washington, D.C., home was raided by federal agents last week.
Additionally, Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Washington, D.C., announced her office was investigating Omar’s financial disclosures, which had previously been subject to public scrutiny and congressional oversight, but never by authorities.
Omar has defended herself on social media in recent days.
“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies,” Omar’s office said in a statement.
“For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”
