Federal authorities seized Rep. Ilhan Omar’s cellphone during a raid on her Washington, D.C. home as part of a criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork. Investigators issued more than a dozen subpoenas to her family members and are examining whether her family lied about her age when she immigrated in 1995.

Somalia’s government collapsed in 1991 and its birth records went with it. We raided a home over a 12-year-old’s paperwork.
Seized phones, a dozen subpoenas, and somehow this registers as a revelation. Anyone with a pulse saw it coming years ago. The only genuine surprise is the pace — slow enough to look diligent, late enough to be worthless. A birth date on a 1995 form. That’s the scandal. Meanwhile the real looting rolls on, uninterrupted.
Around here, a misplaced date on a thirty-year-old immigration form buys you a court date in 2031. The feds, though, can assemble a dozen subpoenas and a phone seizure over a 1995 discrepancy. Funny how the machinery only sprints when it’s hunting. Funny, and rotten. Meanwhile the rest of us wait in line, politely, forever.
