Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) early Monday, bringing an ongoing criminal investigation to the doorstep of one of President Donald Trump\u2019s most outspoken congressional opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/feds-raid-home-of-ilhan-omar-as-criminal-probe-expands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Daily Wire<\/a>, the search involves immigration paperwork completed by Omar\u2019s late father when she was a child. The progressive \u201cSquad\u201d member arrived in the United States as a Somali refugee in 1995 and became an American citizen in 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Justice Department confirmed that Homeland Security Investigations executed a court-authorized search warrant as part of an ongoing federal investigation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/10\/12\/ilhan-omar-search-immigration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Axios<\/a> also received confirmation from a DOJ spokesperson that agents conducted the search Monday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ilhan-omar-immigration-raid-washington-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CBS News<\/a> independently confirmed the raid with three sources familiar with the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Follows Homan\u2019s Confirmation Of Investigation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday\u2019s operation follows border czar Tom Homan\u2019s acknowledgment last month that federal investigators were examining allegations of immigration fraud involving Omar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to Fox News in September, Homan declined to disclose investigative details but argued that a lawmaker\u2019s position would not shield her from scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRegardless if they\u2019re a congresswoman or not, no one\u2019s above the law,\u201d Homan said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ice-investigating-rep-ilhan-omar-homan-confirms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Daily Wire\u2019s September reporting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The allegations concern Omar\u2019s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British citizen whom critics have alleged is her biological brother. The couple reportedly separated in 2011 and divorced in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omar has denied the allegation, calling it \u201cabsurd and offensive.\u201d Homan\u2019s confirmation of an investigation did not establish that she committed fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reported scrutiny of documents completed during Omar\u2019s childhood and the allegations surrounding her later marriage involve different periods of her life. Authorities have not publicly explained how those matters relate within the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump\u2019s Earlier Attacks Return To Spotlight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has repeatedly accused Omar of immigration wrongdoing and suggested she should be sent back to Somalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI believe she married her brother, which is totally illegal,\u201d Trump said at a rally earlier this year, according to The Daily Wire. Those remarks preceded Monday\u2019s search and were not a response to the raid.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omar has also denied committing immigration fraud. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/policy\/ilhan-omars-home-is-searched-by-federal-agents-14a79871\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported Monday that she rejected both allegations in an interview earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal immigration investigators raided the Washington, D.C., home of Rep.
