There were indications for years that Rep. Ilhan Omar (Communist-Minnesota) was dirty, legally speaking. And for months now, members of President Trump’s administration up to and including Vice President JD Vance have strongly intimated that the left-wing congresswoman could be facing some federal heat. Well, that day has finally come.
New details are emerging about the federal search of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C.-area home, including reports that agents arrived before sunrise as part of an ongoing criminal investigation involving the Minnesota congresswoman’s immigration history.
Multiple Homeland Security Investigations agents arrived at the residence around 6 a.m. Monday to execute a court-authorized search warrant, according to Fox News Digital. Agents wearing clothing identifying them as HSI personnel were seen outside the property during the operation.
? JUST IN: HSI INVESTIGATORS are on scene RIGHT NOW outside Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home
DOJ is involved.
The raid on her house took place at 6AM, PRE-DAWN: "Federal CRIMINAL investigation" ?
And the entire search even got JUDICIAL approval.
Ilhan Omar is furious, agents have been there for hours!
It’s finally happening. The case is building, and OMAR is under federal criminal investigation. The left will cry "weaponization," but a FEDERAL JUDGE SIGNED OFF ON THIS.
It’s unclear if her Minnesota home is next.
Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed that ICE has an ongoing criminal investigation tied to the immigration fraud allegations against Omar.
JD Vance said months ago that DOJ was looking into it.
For years, the media called this a conspiracy theory. Now a federal judge has signed a search warrant!
Nobody is above the law, NOT even a sitting member of Congress
The truth is coming out! I VOTED FOR THIS RAID

Two sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News that authorities are examining immigration paperwork completed by Omar’s late father when she was a child. The precise nature of the suspected violation has not been publicly disclosed, and federal authorities have not announced criminal charges against Omar.
The Justice Department confirmed that a search had taken place but declined to provide details about what investigators were seeking.
“Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice,” a DOJ spokesperson said. “This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation.”
The operation reportedly continued for several hours Monday morning. According to Fox News, federal agents entered and exited the residence while conducting the search. It was not immediately clear what documents or electronic devices, if any, investigators removed from the property.
Authorities also have not publicly released the search warrant or the affidavit investigators submitted to obtain it. Those documents could eventually provide considerably more information about the investigation, including the suspected offenses and evidence authorities told a federal judge they expected to find.
Monday’s search follows weeks of indications that federal authorities were examining allegations involving Omar. White House border czar Tom Homan confirmed in September that a criminal investigation involving the congresswoman was underway.
“I know things are going on, but I can’t give specifics of what’s happening,” Homan said during a Fox News appearance. Homan stressed that members of Congress are not exempt from federal immigration laws.
“If someone committed an immigration violation, if someone committed marriage fraud or anything like that, regardless if they’re a congressman or not, no one’s above the law,” he said. At the time, however, Homan did not say that Omar had committed either offense.
