The feds raid Ilhan Omar's home, Pope Leo shares a serious health update, and Trump's new press secretary prepares to take the podium. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Monday, October 12th, and this is Evening Wire. Federal agents searched Ilhan Omar's house this morning. Immigration reporter Ginny Ter has the story. A Justice Department spokesman confirmed that Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant on the home of Ilhan Omar. The home of Ilhan Omar was an ongoing criminal investigation. Multiple outlets are reporting that the search stems from a criminal fraud investigation into Omar's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father after her family immigrated from Somalia in 1995. Last month, border czar Tom Homan confirmed Homeland Security was investigating Omar amid allegations that she married her brother in 2009 to commit immigration fraud. Omar responded in a statement on X calling the raid an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. She added, I will not be silenced. Trump announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, but how well is it sticking? Foreign affairs reporter Cassia Kiva has the latest. Russia struck Ukrainian energy infrastructure overnight and into Monday, despite President Trump's announcement that Moscow and Kiev had agreed to halt attacks on energy sites. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that strikes hit at least six targets, including a power plant in Kharkiv, a gas production facility, and a civilian gas station. Zelensky said Ukraine has refrained from striking Russian energy infrastructure since Trump announced the ceasefire on Sunday, calling it a potential first step toward ending the war. But the Kremlin has not confirmed the agreement, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov saying Monday that, quote, contacts are ongoing. Iran-backed Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh again on Sunday. The Houthis have hit the airport four times in the past week, five days, and killed over a dozen people, including a U.S. citizen. Hundreds of others have been wounded. President Trump has condemned the attacks, but so far declined to say whether or not the U.S. will intervene. Here's the president over the weekend. Look, the Saudis are good fighters, but I think the attack was a terrible thing. Saudi Arabia has closed down the airport and flights in and out of the kingdom have been redirected. Meanwhile, Saudi forces have been working with the Yemeni government to take back control of Yemen's Red Sea coast, which the Houthis have used to target Saudi oil tankers. Pope Leo is going into surgery this week to remove a nodule from his lung. He announced this planned surgery during a blessing at St. Peter's Square. Vatican officials say the nodule was discovered during routine tests, and the Pope is expecting a week-long recovery. Pope Leo is remaining active in the lead-up to his surgery, presiding over six audiences today alone, including one with the head of U.S. military chaplains. Texas Senate candidate James Tallarico went multiple weeks without a public appearance, leaving many wondering, where did he go? Contributor Tim Pearce is here with more. Democratic Senate candidate James Tallarico is back on the trail in Texas after a nearly two-week absence in the campaign's final days. Tallarico told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth that he was at home with a bad case of the flu. It wasn't anything worse than a nasty case of the flu. And so I was in bed and, you know, drinking lots of liquids. Unfortunately, the campaign made me work from home, so I didn't even get full days off. But, you know, didn't want to be out on the trail and didn't want to get anyone else sick. Tallarico's sudden disappearance prompted some rumors that he had suffered a mental breakdown in the middle of the campaign. His campaign and the facility where he was said to have received treatment denied the allegations. He was asked about those reports over the weekend. That's not true. I just had the flu and I feel much better. But it's a good reminder that you can't believe everything you read on the Internet.

The UK's prime minister has come out with a new statement on the attempted terror attack at a U.S. airbase. Andy Burnham says Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps almost certainly directed the suspected terror plot, which targeted a U.S.-run airbase in England. Burnham said, quote, we will not tolerate these threats on our soil, and vowed to crack down on Iran's use of criminal networks and target their funding. Thirty-five countries, including the U.S., condemned Tehran's hostile activities in a joint statement. Seven men have been arrested but let go on bail, and none have been charged yet. For its part, Iran denies involvement. Anti-ICE agitators attacked and threatened law enforcement in Salem, Oregon over the weekend. Video posted by the Post Millennial showed a man with a bat knock off the passenger side mirror of one ICE van. In another clip, several drivers appeared to use their cars to try to block an ICE vehicle from leaving a parking lot. The ICE officer had to use his vehicle to push through the others while protesters screamed for ICE to get out. Agents were forced to deploy tear gas to push the crowd back. Here's what some of that sounded like. It doesn't f*** up. It doesn't f*** you. It doesn't f*** up. Salem officials came down on ICE after the clash. Salem Mayor-elect Vanessa Nordyke accused ICE officers of driving recklessly and said the federal presence has undermined the city's ability to enforce its own laws. President Trump's new press secretary is set to take the podium for the first time this week. Trump confirmed in a Sunday post on Truth Social that Katie Zachariah will start the job on Monday. And host her first press conference tomorrow at 9.30 a.m. Eastern. Zachariah, a 41-year-old mother of four, is leaving her post as senior communications advisor at Trump Media and Technology Group to become the 37th White House press secretary. After her selection was announced, she called the role, quote, the honor of a lifetime and said she looked forward to working with the White House press corps. Trump told reporters he expects she'll be terrific. And finally, and possibly the most important news of the day, all eyes are on Northern California's campaign for a new world record, including one that hopes to set a new world record. The current record comes from England, weighing in at a knee-buckling 2,857 pounds. What? Horticulture teacher Travis Ginger out of Minnesota, however, thinks he has it beat.
