Story summary

On October 12, 2026, federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raided Rep. Ilhan Omar's home in Washington, D.C., as part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into her immigration paperwork, which was filed by her late father when she was a child. The raid occurred early Monday morning and was authorized by a judicial warrant secured by the Department of Justice (DOJ). Rep. Omar represents Minnesota's 5th Congressional District and is known for being one of the "Squad" of progressive Democrats.

Following the raid, Rep. Omar’s campaign appealed to her supporters via email to donate money to help fight what she described as a politically motivated investigation by President Donald Trump's administration. The controversy surrounding Omar includes financial disclosures that initially showed an overstatement of her husband Tim Mynett's assets and questions about her path to citizenship.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, facing his own DOJ investigation into alleged obstruction of federal immigration enforcement, accused the Trump administration of abusing power against political opponents ahead of upcoming elections.
