Ilhan Omar’s residence raided by DHS: Report

The “ongoing criminal investigation” into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) seems to have escalated Monday morning, as Homeland Security Investigations agents raided her residence in Washington, D.C., Fox News has reported.

Omar was born in Somalia in October 1982, according to her congressional biography. She claimed in a 2018 interview that she became a naturalized U.S. citizen before she turned 18.

Rumors have swirled for nearly a decade that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is Omar’s biological brother and that she married him to help him remain in the U.S.

A few days after Mullin’s comments to Johnson, border czar Tom Homan confirmed the “ongoing criminal investigation” into Omar.

“If someone committed immigration violation, if someone committed marriage fraud or anything like that, regardless if they’re a congressman or not, no one’s above the law,” Homan said September 13.

According to Fox News, multiple people wearing HSI jackets were seen outside Omar’s D.C. residence Monday morning at around 6 a.m. The DHS and the DOJ are both involved in the investigation, Fox said.

A TV broadcast of the report had a slightly different statement: “This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.”

Omar posted a message on X at noon on Monday: “I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.”
