Rep. Ilhan Omar's phone seized and relatives subpoenaed in criminal probe, AP source says
- Federal agents executed a search warrant at Representative Ilhan Omar's Washington-area home on Monday, October 12, as part of a criminal investigation into alleged immigration fraud. The Justice Department issued about a dozen subpoenas to her family members three days prior.
- Investigators are examining whether Omar's family misrepresented her age to secure citizenship, specifically whether she was 17 or 18 when her father applied for naturalization. The age question 'seems to be the key focus now,' officials said.
- The probe aligns with a broader administration strategy to 'maximally pursue' denaturalization cases, targeting 250 filings this year. Vice President JD Vance previously alleged, without evidence, that Omar 'definitely committed immigration fraud.'
- Representative Omar characterized the search as a 'campaign of political intimidation,' while President Donald Trump denied prior knowledge of the raid. Trump stated the government was examining her case 'very carefully,' though he repeated attacks on the congresswoman.
- Omar has not been publicly charged with any crime, and the Justice Department continues investigating the matter. Officials have not confirmed whether the immigration probe connects to separate inquiries into the congresswoman's financial disclosures.
