联邦调查人员已向代表伊尔汉·奥马尔的亲属发出传票,据知情人士透露,她正面临一项包括审查其移民史在内的刑事调查。

Federal investigators have issued subpoenas to the relatives of Representative Ilhan Omar, who is facing a criminal probe that includes a review of her immigration history, according to a person familiar with the matter.

知情人士称,这些传票由司法部签发,该人士要求匿名,因其谈及正在进行的调查。目前尚不清楚传票旨在获取何种信息,这些传票此前曾被《纽约时报》报道。司法部未能立即回应置评请求。

The subpoenas were issued by the Justice Department, according to the person, who asked to remain anonymous speaking about an ongoing investigation. It wasn’t clear what information is being sought by the subpoenas, which were reported earlier by the New York Times. The Justice Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

周一,国土安全部的联邦特工搜查了位于华盛顿地区、属于奥马尔的住宅。奥马尔是明尼苏达州的民主党籍众议员。

On Monday, federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security searched the Washington-area home belonging to Omar, a Minnesota Democrat.

奥马尔多次否认有不当行为的指控,称这些指控虚假且出于政治动机。奥马尔是唐纳德·特朗普总统的直言不讳的批评者,并经常成为其攻击的目标。

The congresswoman has repeatedly denied allegations of wrongdoing, calling them false and politically motivated. Omar is an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump and has frequently been the target of his attacks.

奥马尔的传播主管杰克林·罗杰斯在周一的一份声明中表示:“特朗普的国土安全部进行的这次突袭是对权力的 outrageous 滥用,也是联邦执法武器化以针对政治对手的前所未有的升级。”奥马尔出生于索马里,8岁时随家人逃离该国的内战。她在肯尼亚的难民营度过了四年,随后于1995年抵达美国,并于1997年定居明尼阿波利斯。

Jacklyn Rogers, Omar’s communications director, said in a statement on Monday the “raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies.”Born in Somalia, Omar fled the country’s civil war with her family at age 8. She spent four years in a refugee camp in Kenya before arriving in the US in 1995 and settling in Minneapolis in 1997.
