    Not sure what that’s going to gain her… Though I believe having a bunch of FBI Peckerwoods roaming through her home is very violating…

          Will they? It’s important to remember, the admin are basically influencers. They think in news cycles, and are extremely sensitive to the reaction they’re getting

          They’ll might push the legal side further if they don’t get a big reaction… Steve Miller is a sick fuck and his nipples get hard deporting anyone, especially if it’s cruel. But after the failed ice invasion, Trump and Co aren’t letting him lead anything high profile

          As this drops out of the news cycle, they’re going to move onto the next performative vice signal. Trump will get bored, and this will go way on the back burner. The Trump sycophants will look for the next thing to get Grandpa to care about them for a minute, and the people with political ambitions behind Trump won’t touch this with a 10 foot pole if Trump isn’t spearheading it

          I highly doubt they’ll keep up a police harassment campaign against Omar, because that’s just not how they function. The leadership are literally television people, and it wouldn’t make for good content

        This was my first thought as well. I wouldn’t trust my furniture or really anything either, though. Shit could be as small as a crumb with tech these days

          I’m reminded of that X-Files episode where Mulder tears his entire apartment to shreds and finds one tiny bug inside his electrical outlet by the window.

          We really have no idea just how camouflaged or small these things can be nowadays.

            The really fun ones are when they don’t have any physical bug at all, like laser microphones, or using microwave imaging (EM, not the appliance) to watch people through the wall. There are x-ray systems entirely contained in the back of a box truck, too.

        Yeah this has to be part of it. A raid like this isn’t just a raid, it also signals that any protection of her by the law from others has been withdrawn. So any asshole with a gun could (and according to the stale Cheeto should) cause her problems. Being effectively doxxed by the government isn’t a great position from an opsec standpoint.
