I mean that was the point. It was obviously for intimidation and it worked. So... Mission accomplished....

I would worry they bugged my home if I was her. I'm not sure the move is over intimidation, but lack of trust/security in the current place.
Yup, this current administration would 100% take a page out of Nixon’s playbook and plant listening devices everywhere.
Right, she shouldve stayed and remained in fear of her home being invaded again. Or firebombed by brainwashed MAGA cunts.
What even would a search be good for? Lets just play with the scenario here, and assume they have good intentions. They don't, but now we're in make-believe-land for a second. The dipsshits think she did something wrong years ago filing paperwork wrong or whatever the excuse is. Who would keep the proof of their wrongdoings for years afterwards? "I better save these documents forever, that could undeniably get me deported due to my wrongdoings".
Even under the most generous of circumstances, raiding her home makes no sense.
I think it's worse than that. She immigrated to the USA at 12 and naturalized at 17. She doesn't have any reason to be searched under the pre-tenses they've given. She was a minor when she immigrated and a minor when she was naturalized.
They want to: 1) Intimidate her and 2) Find some unrelated "gotcha" to remove her from Congress.
They are currently looking into such a gotcha. One of the avenues is that they want to find some sort of criminal conspiracy in her father's status, revoke it posthumasly, then strip her citizenship over a technicality.
Then she’s not eligible for congress again until she’s been a citizen for 7 years. Assuming they don’t immediately send her to some unrelated country the minute it’s been stripped.
I hope the Dems win, and have the balls to actually stop this shit. Or we’re all even more fucked than now.
It makes no sense because they don't have good intentions. If you assume they have bad intentions, then the search is obviously part of their method of intimidation and harassment of a political opponent and makes perfect sense from their twisted and disgusting perspective.

Why is it so hard for people to go along with a hypothetical?
Probably a good idea also because I wouldn't trust any longer that the DHS or FBI wouldn't plant listening devices during the raid, based on some unconstitutional legal theory in a memo written by a first year MAGA law student using ChatGPT.
Yep, and if watching "doge" was any indication, the younger and the dumber and the less qualified and less experienced the person, the more authority they will give them.
A big chunk of this administration openly worships Richard Nixon and they're not terribly creative, of course they're planting listening devices everywhere
Also once a trumplet gets inside, the effluvia is impossible to expunge.
That is especially important for any ladies reading this.
