On October 12, 2026, federal agents raided the Washington D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork filed by her late father when she was a child. The search warrant was secured by the Department of Justice and executed by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), according to a DOJ spokesperson.
The raid follows earlier probes that began in mid-September, with officials warning potential removal actions if wrongdoing is proven. Omar, who has long faced scrutiny over her immigration status and financial disclosures, has not commented on the raid publicly. The investigation is now expanding to include subpoenas issued to more than a dozen of Omar's relatives and the seizure of her phone in Minnesota.
This development comes amid political tensions as President Trump has previously accused Omar of being connected to fraud rings across Minnesota that have received over $800 million in potentially fraudulent funds from pandemic-era programs. The raid represents a significant escalation in the investigation into Omar, who is up for reelection in November 2026.
"No." — Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed, Sunday, asked if he or his family have any Muslim Brotherhood ties We say: Why did El-Sayed’s half-sister boast that “my family has long been MB” and that in the ’70s her mother was active in the Muslim Brotherhood, chapters of which are US “specially designated global terrorist” groups? And why, when asked about that, has El-Sayed refused to answer?
"[Trump’s deportations are] a systematic effort to try to rid the country of people that don’t look like them." — Hillary Clinton, Tuesday We say: Sorry, Hillary, no one is targeting black or Hispanic US citizens. And the people who are targeted represent nearly every race and nationality.
