Homeland Security raids Rep. Ilhan Omar's D.C. home

Federal Search of Ilhan Omar’s Home

Fox’s LiveNOW reported that federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington home early in the morning under a court-authorized warrant. The search began around 6 a.m. and involved Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice. A DHS spokesperson described it as part of an ongoing federal investigation.

Sources cited by Fox and the Associated Press said the criminal investigation concerns Omar’s immigration documents, reportedly completed by her late father when she was a child. The broadcast did not establish further details about the allegations or what agents may have taken from the home. Live footage showed officials still at the scene roughly two hours after the search began.

The report also noted that Tom Homan said in September that a criminal investigation involving Omar was underway. HSI’s broader investigative responsibilities include cross-border crime and other national-security threats.
