Feds search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home, French supermarket cyberattack, Asian chip selloff, Pope Leo to hospital, Brewers up 2-0
Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington home in what the Justice Department calls an ongoing criminal investigation; a cyberattack hit refrigeration in hundreds of French supermarkets; South Korea's Kospi fell more than 5% in a chip selloff; Pope Leo XIV enters a Rome hospital for lung nodule surgery; and the Brewers took a 2-0 NLCS lead over the Dodgers.
Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Justice Department at the Washington, D.C.-area home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Monday morning. The DOJ said the action is "part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation." Sources told CBS News and ABC News the probe concerns Omar's immigration paperwork from her childhood. Omar has not been charged with a crime and denies wrongdoing. Supporters gathered at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis on Monday evening. Omar is up for reelection on Nov. 3.
The Justice Department and Republicans sayThe DOJ says the warrant was judicially authorized and is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said "Nobody is above the law." President Trump said he "had nothing to do with" the search and that it is "really up to the DOJ."
Omar and Democrats sayOmar called it "an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement" and said "I will not be silenced." Gov. Tim Walz and House Democratic leaders said it raises serious questions about using federal power against political opponents weeks before an election.
A cyberattack remotely triggered forced defrosting of refrigeration systems in hundreds of French supermarkets, spoiling food and causing fires at some stores. Intermarché and its Netto brand had at least 300 shops targeted, Coopérative U more than 100, and Carrefour 80. Paris prosecutors opened an investigation into a "large-scale" attack. France's cybersecurity agency identified a vulnerability in software from Danish company Danfoss, which said most affected equipment was outdated and no longer received updates.
South Korea's Kospi fell more than 5% on Tuesday, after dropping more than 7% at one point, as chipmakers sold off on worries about the AI boom and reports of advances by Chinese memory chipmaker CXMT. Samsung Electronics fell 7.4% and SK Hynix about 10%. Japan's Nikkei 225 also fell. On Monday, Nvidia, AMD, Micron and Broadcom all declined on Wall Street.
Pope Leo XIV is being admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital late Tuesday morning to have a lung nodule removed. The nodule was found during regular checks, and the pope said it was found at an early stage. The Vatican says the surgery will require about a week in the hospital and has canceled his audiences through Oct. 20. A trip to Peru, Argentina and Uruguay is planned for Nov. 6–17.
The Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 in Game 2 of the NLCS in Milwaukee on Monday to lead the best-of-seven series 2-0. William Contreras hit a tying home run and drove in the go-ahead run, and four Brewers relievers retired the last 15 Dodgers batters in order. Game 3 is Wednesday in Los Angeles.
