Trump's DOJ vs. Ilhan Omar

Trump is sending federal agents after his critics. Tell Congress to condemn the raid on Rep. Omar's home.

SIGN NOW: Trump is sending armed federal agents after his critics. Every member of Congress must condemn the raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, Donald Trump just sent federal agents to raid the home of one of his fiercest critics: Rep. Ilhan Omar. [1] For over a decade, Trump has targeted Rep. Omar. Now, he has deployed Department of Homeland Security agents to her home to intimidate her and her family. Her response to this violation from the very same department that killed two of her constituents in Minneapolis was clear, and we're right there with her: "I will not be silenced." [2] This is what happens when Trump staffs our government with cronies and sycophants. We warned that Trump’s personal lawyer Todd Blanche – now in charge of the Justice Department – would continue weaponizing it against Trump’s political opponents. Common Cause members like you generated over 250,000 petition signatures and calls urging Congress to reject Blanche – but lawmakers rubber-stamped his nomination anyways, and now we're all paying the price. If members of Congress stay quiet as one of their colleagues is targeted three weeks before an election, Trump and Blanche will take that as permission to keep going. Every member, from both parties, needs to speak up – loudly and publicly. Add your name: I stand with Rep. Ilhan Omar. Every member of Congress must call out Trump's attempts to criminalize opposing him >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, this isn’t the first time Trump has used the power of the federal government against his opponents to make an example of them. His agents forced Sen. Alex Padilla to the ground and handcuffed him. [3] They handcuffed New York City Comptroller Brad Lander at an immigration court. [4] And his Justice Department charged Rep. LaMonica McIver for doing oversight over an immigration detention center. [5] And after spending months painting a target on Somali Minnesotans, he's sending federal agents to intimidate the leader who represents many of them in Congress. Trump wants to convince us that questioning authority comes with a price. By targeting high-profile leaders in public view, he wants to send a chilling message down the line. Tell Congress: Weaponizing law enforcement to silence critics of the regime has no place in America. Demand that every member condemn the raid on Rep. Omar's home >> Thanks for all you do, The team at Common Cause [1] https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/ap-report-federal-agents-search-rep-ilhan-omars-home-as-part-of-a-criminal-investigation [2] https://www.ms.now/news/ilhan-omar-house-search-federal-agents-doj [3] https://www.kqed.org/news/12043957/california-sen-alex-padilla-forced-to-ground-handcuffed-by-agents-at-dhs-briefing [4] https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/17/new-york-city-comptroller-arrested-by-ice-agents-outside-immigration-court [5] https://ourcommoncause.substack.com/p/whats-happening-to-congresswoman Common Cause is a leader in fights that matter at the local, state, and national level.
