Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a search warrant at the Minnesota Democrat's Washington home as part of a criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.

Federal agents conducted a pre-dawn search on Monday at the Washington, D.C., home of Representative Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. The Justice Department confirmed the action but provided no further details, while the street near the home was blocked off as agents remained on scene.

Investigation Details

Fox News Digital reported that the search is tied to a fraud investigation into Omar's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child. Last month, border czar Tom Homan confirmed an ongoing criminal probe into the lawmaker, though he declined to offer specifics at the time. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson referred questions about the search to the Justice Department.

Political Context

Vice President JD Vance has previously accused Omar of committing immigration fraud, an allegation she has denied. Vance stated in May that he and a top White House official were trying to figure out how to investigate the congresswoman. President Donald Trump has also specifically demanded that Omar leave the country or be deported, calling on Minnesotans to "fight back" against the state's Somali population just last week.
