Home Search Conducted by Homeland Security Investigations
Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed a judicially authorized search warrant at the Washington, D.C., residence of Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) early Monday morning. The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed that the enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation, but provided no further details about the scope or findings of the raid.
Investigation Background
Sources familiar with the matter say the search is linked to a criminal fraud probe concerning Omar’s immigration paperwork, which was reportedly completed by her late father when she was a child. The investigation was first referenced publicly by Border Security “czar” Tom Homan in mid-September, when he indicated that the congresswoman was the subject of a continuing criminal investigation. No additional specifics about the alleged fraud have been released.
Official Government Statements
Tom Homan, the senior official overseeing border enforcement, previously described the probe as “ongoing” but did not elaborate on the allegations.
