On October 12, 2026, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) conducted an early morning raid on the Washington, D.C., home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota and the first Somali American elected to Congress. The search was authorized by a judicial warrant secured by the Department of Justice as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation into potential immigration fraud involving paperwork filled out for her when she was a child by her late father.
In response, Omar said on October 22 that she cannot continue living in the raided home due to public attention and death threats. She is working on relocating to protect herself and her family. The raid has intensified scrutiny over Omar’s immigration history, with some critics suggesting it is politically motivated, while she maintains her innocence and accuses the administration of targeting her for political reasons.
The investigation reportedly focuses on potential false statements made during her immigration process and possible conspiracy related to her paperwork. Despite this, Omar asserts that she "didn't do anything wrong" and feels confident in her legal right as a U.S. representative.
