Surveillance powers built for terror always get turned inward - every expansion has a quiet second act against journalists, organizers, and elected officials who dissent. The raid on Omar's home is the receipt, not the exception.

The surveillance state built for the war on terror never gets dismantled, it just changes targets. Every tool normalized under counterterrorism is now pointed at dissenters and elected officials. The raid on Omar's home is what that pipeline produces.
