🔴 Federal agents raided the Washington, D.C., area home of Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar early on the morning of October 12, 2026. According to reports from Fox News and the New York Post, the pre-dawn enforcement action was executed by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) under a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice (DOJ). A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed the search is part of an active, ongoing criminal fraud investigation focusing on immigration paperwork filled out by Omar's late father when she was a child. Separate reports indicate the broader DHS probe encompasses longstanding, disputed allegations regarding her past marriage paperwork.
