Federal agents searched the Washington, DC-area home of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar on Monday as part of a criminal investigation, according to multiple news outlets. The Department of Homeland Security's Homeland Security Investigations unit executed the search under a court-authorized warrant, the Department of Justice confirmed.
The probe reportedly centers on alleged fraud involving Omar's immigration paperwork. Omar, who represents Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, was first elected to the US House of Representatives in 2018 and is recognized for her progressive political stances and criticism of former President Donald Trump. However, the Justice Department has not disclosed further details about the investigation and has not stated whether Omar has been charged with a crime.
