Federal Agents Search Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., Home
5 hours ago
Federal agents reportedly searched the Washington, D.C., residence of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar on Monday morning as part of an investigation involving allegations of immigration fraud.
Multiple reports indicate the search is connected to an ongoing federal investigation into Omar's immigration paperwork.
The reported search comes approximately one month after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin publicly discussed an investigation involving the congresswoman during an interview with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson.
During the interview, Mullin said federal authorities were investigating allegations involving a fraudulent immigration scheme.
The allegations against Omar have not been proven, and the existence of an investigation does not establish wrongdoing.
Authorities have not publicly released details about what agents were seeking during the reported search or whether any evidence was collected.
It remains unclear whether Omar will face any charges in connection with the investigation.
