Omar’s Sister Questioned After DHS Raid on Washington Home | JQJO

Federal investigators questioned Sahra Noor, older sister of Representative Ilhan Omar, following a Homeland Security Investigations raid on Omar’s Washington, D.C. residence. The raid, conducted on October twelfth, 2026, was part of an immigration fraud probe into whether Omar or her father falsified citizenship documents. Noor voluntarily spoke with agents after the search, and her book tour stop in Minnesota was canceled amid the fallout. Omar’s personal belongings were seized, and her attorneys demanded the return of some property. The investigation has prompted calls for denaturalization if allegations are proven.

A Guardian investigation found that Louisiana’s justice of the peace courts may violate tenants’ constitutional rights by allowing eviction fees to boost judges’ incomes.

In a case in Baton Rouge, Marchana Watts, who earned $20 an hour as an insurance analyst, presented receipts proving she had paid $950 in rent for a year and a half.

The judge, Tracy Batieste, reportedly ignored her evidence and instead focused on a court fee, instructing the trailer‑park manager to pay.

The judge accepted a $100 bill and told Watts she had 24 hours to move.

Louisiana’s 390 part‑time justices of the peace handle thousands of evictions each year, earning income directly from court fees that can exceed $150 per case.

Advocates argue that the fee‑based compensation creates a conflict of interest that incentivizes judges to favor landlords and expedite evictions.

Bradley Benton, a former legal‑aid attorney, said landlords prefer justice of the peace courts because they are faster, cheaper, and easier to win against tenants.

In one suburban court, eviction fees helped a part‑time judge earn more than $400,000 last year, surpassing the chief justice of the United States.

Ever since the pandemic, grocery prices have been out of whack. COVID‑related lockdowns forced people to eat at home more often, and in April two thousand twenty grocery prices took their biggest leap in decades, increasing two point six percent from the month earlier. Then, in two thousand twenty‑two, food prices began another upward swing as Americans with cash on hand returned to stores in large numbers and retailers struggled to meet the pent‑ed demand. The food system faced other shocks that year, including a severe avian flu outbreak and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Grocery prices rose eleven point four percent in two thousand twenty‑two alone. That period of dramatic food inflation slowed down in two thousand twenty‑three, though prices generally haven't returned to previous levels. Instead, grocery costs have continued to rise, just at a slower rate, roughly in line with overall inflation.
