The subpoenas seek records on Omar's immigration status, citizenship papers, her late father Nur Omar Mohamed's naturalization and military background, and a May 2019 request by her congressional staff to change her official birth year in Minnesota legislative records from 1981 to 1982. The one year difference is central to whether Omar was a minor under 18 when her father naturalized in 2000, a requirement to derive US citizenship through a parent.
Omar has denied wrongdoing and called Monday's five hour search by Homeland Security Investigations "an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement" ahead of the midterm elections. While House Democrats brace for "more October surprises," according to Axios, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office in Washington is conducting a separate probe into Omar's financial disclosures.
