Агенты США провели обыск в доме Ильхан Омар в Вашингтоне и выдали повестки её сестре и другим родственникам в рамках уголовного расследования её иммиграционных бумаг.
Федеральные агенты исполнили судебно санкционированный ордер на обыск в доме представителя Ильхан Омар, демократ от Миннесоты, в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, в понедельник в рамках продолжающегося уголовного расследования её иммиграционных документов, подтвердило Министерство юстиции. Следователи также выдали повестки сестре Омар — Сахре Нур, и другим родственникам, проверяя, были ли сделаны ложные заявления в иммиграционных формах, согласно источникам, знакомым с расследованием.
The New York Times reported that the inquiry includes a review of the naturalization process of Omar’s late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, to determine if any inaccuracies were provided on immigration applications. The scope of the investigation has not been fully disclosed, and a grand jury subpoena does not itself indicate wrongdoing.
Separately, the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library confirmed that in May 2019 Omar’s congressional staff requested a correction to the birth year listed in her biographical entries, changing it from 1981 to 1982. Library staff noted that the original date was based on reference sources without supporting documentation.
Omar has repeatedly denied any immigration misconduct. > "I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement," she wrote on X. > "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. I will not be silenced," she added.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced a separate review of Omar’s financial disclosures, citing significant changes in reported asset values for businesses linked to her husband, Tim Mynett. Omar’s office later amended the filings, stating that the original reports did not properly account for business liabilities. The Office of Congressional Conduct previously recommended that the House Ethics Committee dismiss related misconduct allegations, finding no substantial evidence of false reporting.
President Donald Trump issued a statement on X calling for answers regarding the investigation, and Vice President JD Vance said he had no prior knowledge of the search and would follow the facts if a case exists.
Requests for comment were sent to the Justice Department, Rep. Omar’s office, and the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library.
