观看:特工出现在美国国会议员伊汗·奥马尔家门外 美国移民官员周一上午搜查了明尼苏达州众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔的住所,作为刑事调查的一部分。
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents "executed a judicially authorised search warrant" for the home in the Washington, DC area, a US justice department spokesperson told the BBC.
美国司法部发言人告诉BBC,国土安全调查局(HSI)特工"执行了司法授权的搜查令",搜查了华盛顿特区地区的这所住宅。
The search "is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation", the spokesperson said, but no further details were given.
发言人表示,此次搜查"是正在进行的联邦刑事调查的一部分",但未透露更多细节。
US Congress is currently out of session and it is unclear if Omar was at the home. Omar, a Democrat and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, described the search as "an attempt to target political enemies and weaponise federal law enforcement".
美国国会目前休会,目前尚不清楚奥马尔是否在家中。 奥马尔是民主党人,也是唐纳德·特朗普总统的直言不讳批评者,他将这次搜寻描述为"试图针对政治敌人并武器化联邦执法部门"。
HSI agents loading a box outside the residence "For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns," Omar said in a statement.
HSI特工在住宅外装载一个箱子 奥马尔在一份声明中说:"十年来,特朗普一直用毫无根据的谎言和抹黑运动针对我。"
"This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
"这只是他政治恐吓行动的最新升级。
I will not be silenced." Her communications director Jacklyn Rogers called the raid "an outrageous abuse of power" by the Trump administration. "The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong."
我不会被噤声。" 她的通讯主管杰克琳·罗杰斯称这次突袭是特朗普政府"令人愤慨的权力滥用"。 "这位女议员没有做错任何事。"
The nature of the criminal investigation remains unclear. A BBC crew saw several agents at the home, some carrying boxes to a van.
刑事调查的性质尚不明确。 BBC摄制组看到几名特工在家中,有些人正把箱子搬到面包车上。
News of the search was first reported by Fox News, which has said the investigation is about immigration paperwork filed by her late father when Omar was a child.
搜查消息最初由福克斯新闻报道,该台称调查涉及她已故父亲在奥马尔孩童时期提交的移民文件。
The timing of Monday's raid - 22 days before the November midterm elections which will decide the balance of power in Congress for the next two years - has raised concerns from Democrats who have rallied behind Omar. The justice department has a longstanding policy of refraining from most enforcement action that is "likely to raise an issue or the perception" it was being brought for the purpose of affecting any election or disadvantage a candidate.
周一突袭的时机——距离11月中期选举还有22天,该选举将决定未来两年国会的权力平衡——这引发了支持奥马尔的民主党人对此表示担忧。 司法部长期以来一直有一项政策,避免对那些"可能提出问题或产生影响选举或不利候选人形象"的执法行动进行。
The US House Democratic Party leadership said in a statement that Omar had long been targeted with "vile personal attacks and baseless accusations" by Trump.
美国众议院民主党领导层在一份声明中表示,奥马尔长期以来一直受到特朗普"恶劣的人身攻击和毫无根据的指控"的针对。
"Now, less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a duly elected Member of Congress and her family," it said.
"现在,距离中期选举还有不到30天,他的暴力大规模驱逐机器已经降临到一位正式当选的国会议员及其家人的家中,"它说。
Omar's immigration records have been scrutinised in the past by Republicans.

Last month, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told a conservative podcaster "something is going to happen", making allegations of marital fraud against Omar. Separately, the White House border tsar Tom Homan told Fox News that Omar was being investigated for unspecified immigration violations.
上个月,国土安全部部长马克韦恩*穆林(Markwayne Mullin)告诉一位保守的播客"将要发生一些事情",对奥马尔提出了婚姻欺诈的指控。 另外,白宫边境沙皇汤姆霍曼告诉福克斯新闻,奥马尔因未指明的移民违规行为而受到调查。
Omar denied these allegations last month.

"I will say it again so it's as clear as possible: I'm not at all worried about these investigations, because they are complete shams," she said in a campaign fundraising email, an archive of which has been seen by the BBC.

She and Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib were the first Muslim women elected to Congress.
