Story summary

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raided Rep. Ilhan Omar's home in Washington, D.C., early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into her immigration paperwork filed by her late father when she was a child. The Justice Department confirmed that agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the department and stated this enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation. Omar's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment, nor has the Congresswoman herself addressed the raid publicly. This development follows months of scrutiny and speculation over her immigration status under the Trump administration.
