The Washington D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar was searched early Monday by Homeland Security Investigations as part of an ongoing federal investigation into the congresswoman's immigration paperwork. A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed that a judicially authorized search warrant was executed by HSI, stating it is an "enforcement action" linked to a "federal investigation."
Sources close to the investigation confirmed details of the probe, which reportedly centers on immigration documents that were completed by Omar's late father when she was a child. This action follows weeks after Border Czar Tom Homan stated that Omar was under a "criminal" investigation.
Rep. Omar, a Somali-born congresswoman, has represented Minnesota's 5th congressional district since 2019. The investigation's focus on her immigration documents raises questions about the veracity of the information provided during her immigration process.
