Omar lawyers challenge federal search of her home as unlawful

Rep. Ilhan Omar's attorneys have challenged the legality of a federal search of her Washington-area home, demanding the return of seized property.

• Federal agents executed a search warrant Monday at Omar's Washington-area home in an immigration fraud probe over possible false statements and conspiracy.
• Omar's attorneys demanded the return of seized property and preservation of recordings, calling the investigation politically motivated.
• The attorneys said investigators did not read Omar her Speech or Debate Clause rights and prevented her from contacting counsel for over an hour.
• The Justice Department rejected the allegations, with a spokesperson calling them false claims and inaccurate information.
