Federal immigration investigators raided and searched the Washington, D.C., home of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar early this morning. The raid was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). The federal agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, Fox News reported Monday. Federal authorities have not publicly disclosed what specific evidence or materials were recovered during the raid.
The timing of the raid exactly three weeks before the November midterm elections has intensified political tensions.
Omar responded with a statement saying, “I’m ok,” and describing the raid as political intimidation.
“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,” she said.
“I will not be silenced,” Omar added.
Investigation Details
The investigation concerns immigration paperwork completed by Omar’s late father when the family arrived from Somalia in 1995. The raid was conducted after months of scrutiny pursuant to a judicially authorized search warrant.
The investigation began after persistent allegations from political opponents, including President Donald Trump. The rumors suggested that Omar’s family’s historical immigration documents and past marital records involved fraudulent representations.
Specifically, opponents claimed that Omar engaged in a fraudulent marriage with a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 to assist him in bypassing US immigration laws. There are also allegations that Elmi is Omar’s biological brother. However, no evidence presented in court has substantiated this claim and no definitive documentary evidence is available on the record. The recent raid is an attempt by the investigators to locate physical or digital discrepancies, forged identities, or falsified lineage statements.
The DOJ is also examining Omar’s historical financial disclosures. This was prompted by her past reporting errors that mistakenly identified her as a multimillionaire.
Development of the Federal Investigation
In early 2026, the former border official Tom Homan confirmed that authorities were actively reviewing Omar’s historical immigration and naturalization paperwork. In March 2026, Vice President J.D. Vance stated that a White House fraud task force and the Department of Justice were examining the immigration fraud allegations.
In August 2026, records related to Omar were withheld by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. The reason for withholding documents was to ensure that active enforcement proceedings were not impacted.
Omar has consistently denied the allegations and pushed back against the escalating investigation. After Tom Homan’s public comments, Omar told the media that neither she nor her legal team had been notified of an active criminal investigation by DHS. She further stated that federal authorities had not contacted her to request documentation or comment. Omar maintains that the investigation is politically motivated.
Finally!
Good throw her out of the country she hates and send her back to her 4th world country where they all belong.
