"There is something about the timing [of the Ilhan Omar raid] that might hint at what the government may actually be looking at." @jsolomonReports has a solid theory on why federal investigators raided Omar's home so close to an election: "My suspicion is that only recently did someone in the Trump administration go back and look at the file... And sometimes criminal cases don't follow the clock of an election, particularly if Ilhan Omar is not the target of the investigation. One possibility here is that another family member is the target of the criminal investigation. She's a witness, therefore raiding her isn't affecting her election under the manual. She's not the target. But whatever evidence they find could lead to an ancillary action by the Justice Department. That is, let's suppose that she committed immigration fraud—and I'm not saying she did, but if she did—in an earlier time frame outside the statute of limitations, there is no statute of limitations for being deported or denaturalized. And so it could very well be that what's going on here is they're gathering evidence of a denaturalization proceeding, which is not a criminal proceeding, which the U.S. Attorney's Manual does not require that 60-day window before elections not to do actions."
