USA Today: Ilhan Omar’s home was searched. What to know about her immigration story
The Justice Department said Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a court-approved warrant in an ongoing criminal probe, and Omar has not been charged.
- Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations executed a court-authorized search warrant at Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington-area home on October 12, the Justice Department said, citing an ongoing federal criminal investigation.
- The search marks an escalation in the Trump administration's long-running clash with the country's first Somali American lawmaker, whom President Donald Trump has frequently held up as a symbol of immigration policies he aims to curb.
- Vice President JD Vance told podcaster Benny Johnson that Omar "definitely committed immigration fraud," while the Justice Department directed lawyers to "maximally pursue" denaturalization cases, aiming for at least 250 filings.
- Condemning the search as an "attempt to target political enemies," Omar said she has not been charged with a crime, though some Republican officials have called for her citizenship to be stripped.
- The enforcement follows the administration's launch of Operation Metro Surge, which deployed nearly 3,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities amid claims linking Minnesota's Somali community to roughly $250 million in fraud.
