Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a search warrant at Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., home early Monday, carting boxes out of the residence in full view of reporters. The Justice Department called it part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. A sitting member of Congress just had her house searched by federal agents 22 days before midterm elections that decide control of the chamber she serves in.

Sources told CBS News the probe centers on immigration paperwork filed by Omar’s late father when she was a child, with investigators looking at potential false statements and immigration fraud. The warrant was judicially authorized. The Justice Department consulted its Public Integrity section, and Attorney General Todd Blanche was aware of the search before it happened.

Omar said she is “ok” and described the raid as an attempt to “target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.” House Democratic leaders called it “deeply disturbing.” President Donald Trump said he had ”nothing to do with” the investigation, then called Omar a “terrible person” in the same breath.

What’s actually alleged remains murky. The specific charges under investigation haven’t been officially confirmed—warrant details have surfaced only through a New York Times report relayed by Reason, which cites false statements, immigration paperwork fraud, conspiracy and whether Omar derived citizenship from a father who may have been ineligible for naturalization. Reason also notes that senior officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, have publicly asserted her guilt. Omar denies everything.

No charges have been filed. It’s unclear when the investigation began, or whether Omar was home when agents arrived. Justice Department policy discourages enforcement actions that appear timed to influence an election—a norm that, at three weeks out, is now the whole argument.

Six Ukrainian energy facilities were hit by Russian strikes within hours of President Donald Trump announcing Sunday that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to an energy ceasefire “effective immediately,” Volodymyr Zelensky said. Thirty-three people were injured, according to Zelensky. So much for immediately.

The damage stacked up fast. Grid operator Ukrenergo reported new power cuts in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia, plus rationing in parts of the country, and Ukrinform reported blackouts in Izyum. Kyiv's mayor said a drone struck a 25-story residential building, killing one person and injuring 11. All of those figures come from Ukrainian officials; the exact sequence of the six strikes, and whether Ukraine hit anything in the same window, hasn't been established.

Here’s the part Trump skipped: Russia never publicly agreed to anything. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said only that “contacts are continuing,” and Sergey Lavrov said Ukraine doesn't deserve the “respite,” BBC News reported. Asked Monday how he knew both sides signed on, Trump told reporters they agreed ”because I said you agree,” claimed violations on both sides and said Vladimir Putin wants a deal more than Zelensky does.

This isn’t great. Americans are falling behind on their bills at a rate we haven’t seen in years. New York Fed data show the share of seriously delinquent auto loan balances hit a record high this year, and nearly 13% of credit card balances are seriously past due—close to the 2010 peak. Mortgage delinquencies are at a six-year high. Student loan delinquencies spiked once pandemic-era protections lapsed.

The broader picture is worse. The Fed's Survey of Consumer Finances found nearly 20% of households were late on a debt payment in 2025, up from roughly 12% in 2022, CBS News reports. The math is unglamorous: wage growth is lagging inflation, so the same paycheck covers less, and the gap goes on a card.

More than half of consumers told the University of Michigan they plan to cut spending—which is how a personal squeeze becomes an economic one. Nearly one in 10 U.S. households spent more than 40% of their income on debt repayment in 2025, the highest level since 2010, according to the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances. Hang in there.
