Immigration agents seized Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's personal documents and devices.

NPR's Luke Garrett reports that Omar was home during the search.

Representative Omar's phone, personal computer, passport, and notebooks were all taken by federal agents on Monday, according to a person familiar with the case but not authorized to share details publicly.

Homeland Security Investigation agents searched her DC home as part of what the Justice Department calls a federal criminal investigation.

Since Monday, members of Omar's family have been subpoenaed in a case that centers on immigration fraud allegations.

Omar has long denied these claims and calls the search of her DC home political targeting.
