Feds search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home in immigration probe

What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the search itself and frame it as part of an immigration-related federal investigation, with NBC News, Axios, CBS News, the New York Times and The Hill all leading on that basic fact. The main split is tone and emphasis: Reason, The Atlantic, the Washington Post and the Guardian foreground political intimidation or campaign timing, while Fox News most prominently shifts to Omar’s finances and related scrutiny. CBS News is the only outlet here to note, in its extract, that sources tie the inquiry to paperwork from when Omar was a child.
