跟进：Omar律师致函司法部要求立即归还搜查扣押物品 司法部发言人驳斥函件「充斥虚假指控」

华盛顿——据美联社报道，众议员 Ilhan Omar 的律师于10月16日致函司法部，要求立即归还联邦人员本周在其华盛顿住处搜查时扣押的物品，并要求保存搜查期间的全部音视频记录。律师 Amy Jeffress 与 Joshua Matz 在函中称，这次源于移民欺诈调查的搜查「既无正当理由、也不合法」，并写道：「没有任何合法依据表明她违反了任何有关其公民身份的法律。」

函件称，这项调查是「针对总统主要国会批评者之一的报复性、政治动机刑事调查，侵犯 Omar 议员的宪法权利，并威胁三权分立」。函件还对搜查的执行程序提出质疑，称 Omar 方面未按法官要求事先取得搜查令副本，搜查开始后一段时间内未能联系律师。

司法部发言人 Emily Covington 周五晚回应称，Omar 辩护团队的函件「充斥着虚假指控与不实之处」，并表示：「我们的律师与执法伙伴遵守了所有法院命令与法律义务，一如既往。」司法部未表示是否会归还扣押物品。

前情回顾：联邦人员10月12日清晨持联邦治安法官批准的搜查令搜查 Omar 在华盛顿的住处，扣押其手机；据美联社报道，调查人员已发出十余份大陪审团传票，包括致其部分亲属。国土安全部长 Markwayne Mullin 此前表示，当局同日执行了多份搜查令，案件预计提交大陪审团（本站10月17日已报道）。Omar 的律师称，她于2000年合法归化为美国公民。此次搜查距中期选举数周，Omar 名列选票之上。

Rep. Omar's Lawyers Demand Return of Items Seized in Search; DOJ Calls Letter 'Riddled With False Allegations'

WASHINGTON — Lawyers for Rep. Ilhan Omar wrote to the Justice Department on October 16 demanding the immediate return of items seized when federal agents searched her Washington home this week, and asking that all audio and video recordings of the search be preserved, the Associated Press reported. Attorneys Amy Jeffress and Joshua Matz called the search, part of an immigration fraud investigation, 'neither justified nor lawful,' writing that there was 'no legal basis suggesting that she violated any law regarding her citizenship.'

The letter described the investigation as a retaliatory, politically motivated criminal probe against one of the president's chief congressional critics, and questioned how the search was carried out. Justice Department spokesperson Emily Covington responded Friday evening that the letter was 'riddled with false allegations and inaccuracies,' adding: 'Our attorneys and law enforcement partners have complied with all court orders and legal obligations, as we always do.' The department did not say whether it would return the seized items.

Federal agents searched Omar's Washington home early on October 12 under a warrant approved by a federal magistrate judge, seizing her phone. Investigators have issued more than a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including to some of her relatives, according to the AP. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has said multiple warrants were executed the same day and that the case is expected to go before a grand jury. Omar's lawyers say she was lawfully naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2000.
