Ilhan Omar Faces Two Federal Investigations Amid Turbulent Week

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has become the subject of two federal investigations, marking a tumultuous period for the progressive lawmaker. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents executed a search warrant on her Washington, D.C. home early Monday morning as part of a criminal probe into her immigration status. A day later, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Washington, D.C., announced it was investigating her financial disclosures.

Immigration Fraud Probe

The HSI raid, which sources told Fox News Digital is examining whether Omar or her father committed fraud related to her U.S. citizenship application, involved agents spending several hours at her residence. Her personal cell phone, computers, and passport were reportedly seized. The Wall Street Journal reported that the investigation aims to build a case for stripping Omar of her citizenship. Additionally, a dozen individuals, including family members, have been subpoenaed in connection with this probe.

Former President Donald Trump commented on the raid, stating, "I think she’s a terrible person. Just a complainer. She comes from a country that is ... a non-country, and then she comes over here and she complains about our Constitution." He asserted he had nothing to do with the investigation. Vice President JD Vance echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that the law and facts should guide the investigation, while noting that denaturalizing a sitting member of Congress is possible if warranted.

Omar's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. However, she addressed the raid on social media, calling it "an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies." She accused Trump of escalating his attacks to a "pointless federal raid."

Financial Disclosure Investigation

Separately, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Washington, D.C., is investigating discrepancies in Omar's financial disclosures. In May 2025, Omar reported assets connected to her husband, Tim Mynett's, two businesses – a venture capital firm and a California winery – valued between $6 million and $30 million. This represented a significant increase from her 2023 disclosure, which valued these assets between $15,000 and $51,000.

Specifically, the winery's valuation reportedly jumped from $15,000-$50,000 in 2023 to $1 million-$5 million in 2024, and Rose Lake Capital LLC saw its value rise from $1-$1,000 to $5 million-$25 million.

A watchdog group, the National Legal and Policy Center, filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct regarding these disclosures. Shortly after, Omar amended her 2025 filing, reducing the reported combined assets to between $18,004 and $95,000, attributing the initial figures to an accounting error. Omar has repeatedly stated she is not a millionaire.

In September, the Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5-1 to recommend that the House Ethics Committee dismiss misconduct allegations related to the financial disclosures. However, U.S. Attorney Jeannine Pirro confirmed on Fox News' "America Reports" that her office is now investigating the financial discrepancies.

Omar has not been seen publicly since before the raid on her home.
