Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant at Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., residence as part of probes into her immigration history and recent financial disclosures, while U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced a separate inquiry into the disclosures.
Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations carried out a search warrant at the Washington, D.C., home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Monday morning. The raid is linked to a criminal investigation into whether Omar or her father provided false information on immigration paperwork when she obtained U.S. citizenship. The agents seized Omar's cell phone, computers and passport, and a dozen individuals, including family members, have been subpoenaed.
A day later, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, said her office is examining discrepancies in Omar's 2025 financial disclosure forms, which reported a dramatic increase in assets tied to businesses run by her husband, Tim Mynett. The disclosures showed assets rising from a low-four-figure range in 2023 to multi-million-dollar valuations in 2024, prompting a complaint from the National Legal and Policy Center. Omar later amended the filings, reducing the reported values to under $100,000 and attributing the earlier figures to an accounting error.
President Donald Trump commented that the investigation was focused on Omar, describing her as “crooked” and “a terrible person,” while Vice President JD Vance said the administration would let “the law, the facts drive this” and noted that denaturalizing a sitting member of Congress would only occur if required by law.
Omar’s office did not respond to requests for comment. The congresswoman posted on social media that the raid represented an “outrageous abuse of power” and accused the administration of weaponizing federal law enforcement against political opponents.
