Ilhan Omar Details DC Raid and Denies Immigration-Fraud Allegations
Omar said investigators seized 17 items from her home and that the brother-marriage allegation is untrue.
- Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a search warrant at Representative Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., home on October 12, seizing 17 items including phones, notebooks, and a camera. Omar addressed the raid and long-standing allegations about her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, in a Wednesday interview.
- Investigators are examining whether Omar or her late father misstated her age on 2000 naturalization paperwork when the family arrived from Somalia. Unsubstantiated claims also allege she married Elmi to evade immigration laws, though no evidence has been publicly established.
- During an MS NOW interview, Omar dismissed the allegations as "insane" and replied "Not to my knowledge" when asked if she shared any biological link to Elmi. She recounted federal agents pounding on her doors at 6 a.m. during the search.
- U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro urged a judge to keep warrant materials sealed, arguing the investigation remains active. President Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked Omar, claiming she "could go to jail" due to the ongoing inquiry.
- No criminal charges have been announced against Omar, and her team characterizes the investigation as politically motivated. With less than 30 days until the midterms, authorities continue reviewing evidence as she prepares for reelection.
