Federal Agents Search Ilhan Omar’s D.C.-Area Home in Ongoing Criminal InvestigationFederal agents from Homeland Security Investigations conducted a pre-dawn search of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in the Washington, D.C., area early Monday as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation, according to multiple reports.
Fox News Digital first reported the development, citing a source familiar with the matter. The outlet said the search stemmed from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born Minnesota congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child. Two sources close to the investigation reportedly confirmed details of the probe last week, following earlier public comments by White House border czar Tom Homan that Omar was the subject of an ongoing “criminal” investigation.
The Department of Justice confirmed the action in a statement: “Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation.” HSI is the principal investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security. Agents in HSI jackets were reported outside the residence in the early hours.
Associated Press and Reuters also reported that agents searched the home as part of a criminal investigation, citing people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing case. The Justice Department and Omar’s office did not immediately provide further comment in the initial reports. Details beyond the existence of the warrant and investigation remain limited.
Omar, who represents Minnesota’s 5th District and was first elected in 2018, has long been a frequent target of criticism from President Donald Trump and some Republicans, including rhetoric directed at the Somali American community in Minnesota. Past allegations concerning her immigration history and personal life have circulated for years without resulting in public charges; she has previously denied wrongdoing and said she was unaware of any investigation when asked in September. The current matter is described as developing, with no charges announced. 17GEN4.com
