Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told MS NOW Wednesday night that she believes the raid on her home was to "intimidate and scare people" away from voting in the midterm elections.

Omar's home in Washington, D.C., was raided by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) last Monday in connection to an investigation into potential immigration fraud. Authorities are probing whether Omar or her father lied on paperwork that helped her gain citizenship. Border czar Tom Homan has said that if the allegations are proven, Omar could be denaturalized.

Omar, who has largely avoided public scrutiny since the raid, gave her first interview on the subject on "All In with Chris Hayes" and suggested that the decision to investigate her was a last-ditch effort by President Donald Trump to appeal to right-wing influencers.
