Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog.

Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar said she will “not be silenced” and called a search of her Washington home part of President Donald Trump’s “intimidation” campaign.

Democratic representative Omar, an outspoken critic of the president, said she was being targeted as one of the Republican’s “political enemies”.

It comes as Trump targeted the congresswoman during a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, last night. He said Somalia, where Omar was born, is “one of the worst countries ⁠anywhere on the planet”.

He said:

She comes from one of the worst countries ⁠anywhere on the planet. What a mess they have done - Somalia.

He urged supporters to vote Republican “if you want to stop Ohio from being plundered, ransacked and destroyed like Minnesota’s being destroyed”. In response, the crowd of Republican supporters chanted: “Deport, deport.”

US authorities conducted a predawn raid of Omar’s home in Washington, DC, on Monday as part of an ongoing investigation, the Justice Department said.

A person familiar with the investigation said it is ⁠related to alleged immigration fraud, and part of ⁠the probe concerns the Somali-born lawmaker’s immigration paperwork filled out ​by her late father when she was a child.

Omar wrote on social media that the US government is being weaponized to target a political enemy of the president.

“For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns,” she said. “This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.”

In a statement, US House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and other members of the party’s leadership in the chamber said the raid was “deeply disturbing and raises serious questions” about the weaponization of the federal government against Trump’s enemies.
