Agents carry out warrant at Minnesota lawmaker Ilhan Omar's Washington house

Federal agents were at Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington residence Monday morning. The operation is tied to a criminal case that remains open.

Warrant confirmed

A Justice Department spokesperson said Homeland Security Investigations executed a court-approved search warrant in the D.C. area that the department had obtained.

Public officials have not released a full list of what they were seeking. People briefed on the matter told Fox News Digital that agents are examining forms Omar's late father completed for immigration purposes while she was still a child.

Prior warnings

Border Czar Tom Homan said weeks earlier that Omar herself was the focus of a criminal inquiry.

She has spent years pushing back on talk about her first marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British citizen. Detractors once claimed the two were brother and sister and that the wedding existed only to help him stay in the country. Omar brands those claims as bigoted lies and insists the union was genuine and her paperwork is lawful.

Other reviews in her past

Past tax returns and financial disclosures have drawn separate scrutiny. In 2019 state campaign watchdogs in Minnesota examined returns she signed with Ahmed Hirsi, who is the father of her children, while her divorce from Elmi was still pending.

Congressional ethics staff later looked at a 2025 disclosure that put assets for Omar and husband Tim Mynett in a range from $6 million to $30 million. That review cleared her.

Open questions

Agents have not said what they took from the house or whether anyone will be charged. Her office had not issued a response when this account was written.
