Federal agents raided the Washington, DC-area residence of far-left Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.

Fox News Digital reported exclusively that the pre-dawn raid is part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, documents filled out by her late father when she was a child.

Multiple agents wearing HSI jackets were observed outside the residence in the early hours.

It can be recalled that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told conservative media host Benny Johnson on Thursday night that Ilhan Omar did indeed marry her brother and could be deported.

Secretary Mullin confirmed that radical Somali immigrant Omar could be deported during their conversation on the floor of the the RNC National Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas.

A DOJ spokesperson stated:

“Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation.”

The confirmation represents a significant escalation in a controversy that has followed the Minnesota Democrat for years.

This comes weeks after White House border czar Tom Homan publicly confirmed in mid-September that Omar was the subject of an ongoing “criminal” investigation.

Homan has emphasized that no one is above the law and that denaturalization remains possible in proven cases of immigration fraud.

Omar previously dismissed the probe, telling a reporter that Homan had been “saying some dumb sh*t” and denying she was under investigation or had been contacted by authorities.

This is a major escalation in a case that has dogged Omar for years. Allegations that she married her biological brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, in 2009 to secure his immigration status have circulated since at least 2016, supported by reporting on family names, timelines, and sworn statements. Omar has long denied the claims, calling them “disgusting,” and has insisted she is not under investigation.

The Gateway Pundit has extensively covered Omar’s background, including reporting that her father, Nur Said (also known as Nur Omar Mohamed), was a top propaganda official in Somalia’s genocidal Siad Barre regime before the family entered the U.S. under circumstances that have drawn scrutiny.

House Republicans, including Rep. Nancy Mace, previously sought to subpoena the relevant immigration records; those efforts were blocked. Vice President JD Vance has also said the administration is examining the allegations.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is considering another run for the White House in 2028, but even her own husband reportedly thinks she should stay out of the race.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Doug Emhoff has privately told several people that he would prefer his wife not launch another presidential campaign.

His reservations come as Harris quietly lays the groundwork for a possible third attempt at the presidency, despite her crushing defeat in 2024.

The report also revealed that some major Democratic donors have personally warned Harris that another presidential campaign would be a long shot.

Harris has been meeting with wealthy donors, hiring political staff and traveling to battleground states ahead of November’s midterm elections.

However, her political ambitions are reportedly causing unease among Democrats who believe the party needs a fresh face rather than another attempt by its defeated 2024 nominee.

Unlike in 2024, when Harris inherited the Democratic nomination following Joe Biden’s withdrawal without facing a competitive primary, she would likely have to fight her way through a crowded field of contenders.

Harris herself has refused to rule out another campaign.

“I have not decided if I’m going to run again,” she told an NAACP gathering in Michigan last month.

“I do sincerely believe ’28 won’t matter if we don’t get through ’26.”

Emhoff’s reported reluctance follows the personal strain of Harris’s previous campaign.

In her memoir, 107 Days, Harris admitted her political ambitions had taken a heavy toll on their marriage.

She recalled an argument during the final weeks of the 2024 campaign in which Emhoff told her, “We can’t turn on each other.”

Since his wife was kicked out of the White House, Emhoff has returned to practicing law in Los Angeles, while the couple has purchased an $8 million mansion in Malibu.

Harris also maintains an active political schedule.

She has attended private Democratic fundraisers in California and campaigned for candidates, including far-left Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed.

Look how miserable Abdul looks next to Kamala.

Also what the heck is she saying?

She is also expected to campaign for Democratic candidates in Nevada and Georgia before the midterms.

According to the latest RealClearPolitics polling average, Harris remains the runaway favorite at 26 percent.

She holds an average 12-point lead over California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is widely expected to run.

Glen Powell has starred in a number of major roles in his entertainment career.

From action blockbuster “Tom Gun: Maverick” to romantic comedy “Anyone But You,” the 37-year-old actor has quickly made a name for himself, and has picked up quite a few fans along the way.

One secret to his success has been his avoidance of politics — a topic which has sunk the reputations of many actors and distracted audiences from their work.

Powell said in an interview with Esquire that “over time, I realized that politics divide people.”

“People trying to prove their point — for me, it’s the worst version of a conversation. I genuinely do not like the discourse,” he described.

Glen Powell is staying quiet on politics in interviews because “over time I realized that politics divide people.”

“People trying to prove their point — for me, it’s the worst version of a conversation. I genuinely do not like the discourse. It’s not as healthy as it once was. [Engaging in politics] is not presently possible. I applaud people for jumping into those things and fighting for what they believe in. If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. For me, my calling is elsewhere.” (via Esquire)

“It’s not as healthy as it once was.”

Powell added that engaging in politics is “not presently possible” for him.

“I applaud people for jumping into those things and fighting for what they believe in,” he continued.

“If I were a political person, I would be talking about it. For me, my calling is elsewhere.”

While Powell has not tipped his hand regarding his own political beliefs, he actually has substantial Republican bona fides.

Powell’s mother, Cyndy Powell, served in the Reagan administration’s Treasury Department.

His father even took the Powell last name when he and Cyndy got married, since the Powell family was influential in Texas politics.

But the profile from Esquire noted that the family has also faced their hard times, with both parents getting diagnosed with cancer when Powell was 24.

The family also did not have substantial sums of money, forcing Powell to be incredibly persistent to make it in the entertainment world.

Powell received criticism from the left for staying out of the political fray, but many defended his position.

Brittany Hugoboom, the founder of the conservative Evie Magazine, concluded on social media that Powell is “right” for “staying quiet on politics.”

People are upset at Glen Powell for staying quiet on politics but he’s right.

It’s so divisive. People are so unhinged.

And people aren’t even reading his Esquire cover story. They’re so busy calling him privileged when he literally talks about how he grew up poor and couldn’t help his parents when they both got cancer. That’s why he had the desire to make money. That’s called perseverance.

Skydance is going to disrupt Hollywood so we have to stop with the insane politics. When the Rock got political, all it did was backfire on him and make him less liked. Jennifer Lawrence recognized this. She gets it.

The average person wants to watch a talented person be talented. You want to watch someone in a film and get lost in the story. Celebrities used to be mysterious and that’s why we were fascinated by them.

The average person wants love. They want to be healthy. They want to be safe. Human nature is the same and has been for centuries. Just because someone has a different view on how we get there, it doesn’t make them evil.

“They’re so busy calling him privileged when he literally talks about how he grew up poor and couldn’t help his parents when they both got cancer. That’s why he had the desire to make money. That’s called perseverance,” Hugoboom reacted.

She also noted how other stars — such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — only saw their political takes “backfire” on them and their careers.

“The average person wants to watch a talented person be talented. You want to watch someone in a film and get lost in the story. Celebrities used to be mysterious and that’s why we were fascinated by them,” she continued.

“The average person wants love. They want to be healthy. They want to be safe. Human nature is the same and has been for centuries. Just because someone has a different view on how we get there, it doesn’t make them evil.”

Why the New White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is a huge blessing to us all.

President Trump announced he had found his new White House Press Secretary, and she was Katie Zacharia.  Katie is an attorney and a mother of four.  She spent time in China and appears to be very conservative.

He announced his pick, and Ms. Zacharia responded.

Thank you to President Trump for the distinguished privilege of serving as White House Press Secretary.

Serving President Trump and the American people at this critical 250-year mark is the honor of a lifetime. President Trump has shown America that we can be great again, and he works to effectuate that greatness every single day. His confidence is a true privilege, and his leadership is a blessing to this country.

The work ahead is to continue delivering strong results for our Country and communicating to the American people the major wins that this Administration is making every single day. I look forward to working with the White House press corps, and with reporters across the country, to get that record out. Following the fabulous Karoline Leavitt is a high standard, and one worth meeting.

God bless President Trump, and God bless America.

What people don’t know is that we are lucky to have Ms. Zacharia.

Katie Zacharia was almost aborted.

30 minutes before her scheduled abortion appointment, her 19-year-old biological mother received a call from a Christian counselor urging her to place Katie for adoption instead.

She was just selected to be the new White House Press Secretary.

God can use anyone.

The mental health hospital, where James Talarico was allegedly treated during his nearly two-week absence from the campaign trail, has come out denying that Talarico was ever at the facility. 

This comes after the facility allegedly violated HIPAA privacy laws when an employee reportedly disclosed to reporters that he was at the facility.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, an employee at the Lindner Center of HOPE in Mason, Ohio, allegedly confirmed on Saturday during a recorded phone call that Talarico had been “just discharged” from the facility.

However, Talarico’s team denied the claim, saying “Talarico was home in Austin, Texas, recovering from the flu.”

Talarico also ran to multiple outlets for interviews on Sunday and came out, denying the claims and notably changing his previous account of his doctor's visits.

"I just went to my primary care physician, but it wasn't anything worse than, you know, a nasty case of the flu," Talarico said on Sunday after previously claiming that he went to an urgent care facility in Dallas. We have contacted the Talarico campaign, asking why his story changed and whether they would be willing to release records from the doctor's visits in the interest of transparency, but we have not heard back yet.

"That's not true," he said of the claim that he was in a mental hospital. "I just had the flu, and I feel much better. But it's a good reminder that you can't believe everything you read on the internet."

WATCH:

Now, the Lindner Center HOPE has also come out denying that James Talarico was ever there.

"Representative James Talarico has never received treatment from Lindner Center of Hope," they said in a statement late Sunday.

Typically, a mental health facility cannot confirm or deny whether a specific person has been treated there due to HIPAA.

Additionally, earlier leftist influencer Brian Krassenstein called the Lindner Center of Hope, and an employee said, "We would never disclose, confirm, or deny who our patients are here." She added that the "marketing team is aware" of the rumors going around after another employee allegedly said that Talarico was admitted to the facility.

Asked to deny the earlier claim made by an employee, the woman simply responded, "We would not disclose any patient information."

Customers who enjoy Chick-fil-A can still expect to hear “My Pleasure” from a human rather than a robot for the foreseeable future.

Chick-fil-A CEO Andrew Cathy said that the company will not incorporate artificial intelligence ordering at their restaurants, CNBC reported on Oct. 4.

While the fast food chain will explore AI integrations for other components of their work, they have no plans to add AI voice ordering in their drive-thrus, unlike many of their competitors.

“From our experience, we really want that hospitality to be human to human,” Cathy described in an interview with CNBC.

“We’re not gonna substitute that interaction with technology, because we feel like that hospitality is so important to create that warm environment for consumers.”

Cathy reflected on how Chick-fil-A, which has maintained its tradition of closing on Sundays, is seeking to balance innovation with longtime practices centered on customer and employee experience.

“I look at driving this business like driving a race car — there’s a reason that the windshield’s bigger than the rearview mirror,” Cathy said.

“It’s important for the rear view to be grounded on where you are, and there are things that we think about our purpose, our mission, that won’t change, but everything else we have to be able to evolve and change.”

CNBC noted that the American Customer Satisfaction Index has ranked Chick-fil-A as the leader in the fast food industry with respect to customer satisfaction for more than a decade.

Cathy described the approach to technology as “human plus.”

“We think about all these new things into the future, about how will people want to receive food in the future?” he noted.

“As you think about drone delivery and all the other kind of things that could be coming, it’s a fun time in the industry, to think about all the possibilities of what we can do to make a better experience for our guests.”

Other fast food chains are pioneering new AI integrations in their drive-thrus even as Chick-fil-A resists the trend.

McDonald’s launched a technology called ArchIQ to help with drive-thrus, automated inventory tracking, and connected equipment such as computer vision, per a Sept. 25 report from Restaurant Dive.

The company expects ArchIQ to reduce human labor hours and operational complexity, meaning that employees can focus more on customer experience.
