HSI Searches Ilhan Omar Home in Federal Immigration Probe

Homeland Security Investigations searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's home in the Washington, D.C., area early Monday as part of an ongoing federal investigation into immigration paperwork submitted when she was a child. The search was conducted under a judicially authorized warrant secured by the Department of Justice.

Fox News Digital reported the investigation centers on immigration documents completed by Omar's late father during her childhood. Sources close to the investigation previously confirmed the probe after Tom Homan said the congresswoman was under a criminal investigation.

A Department of Justice spokesperson described the action as part of a continuing federal inquiry.

"Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation," said a DOJ spokesperson.

The search follows public discussion about the investigation involving the Minnesota Democrat. The sources cited by Fox News Digital did not provide additional details about potential charges or the next steps in the case.

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., also addressed the investigation in an interview with Fox News Digital and argued that Omar should be removed from the United States if allegations were proven.

"Send her home to Somalia," said Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla.

The investigation has drawn attention from lawmakers and commentators as federal officials review the congresswoman's immigration history. No outcome of the investigation was announced in the reports reviewed.
