The disclosures come as current federal investigators seek to build a case to revoke the Minnesota Democrat's US citizenship and deport her to Somalia. Twenty Homeland Security Investigations agents searched Omar's Washington home for more than five hours on Monday, seizing her passport, phone, computers and notebooks, while prosecutors issued more than 15 grand jury subpoenas, including to her sister, Sahra Noor. The inquiry centers on whether Omar or her late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, misstated her birth year as 1982 rather than 1981 on immigration paperwork so she could automatically derive citizenship as a 17 year old minor when he naturalized in 2000.
Omar, who has not been charged or seen publicly since Monday's search, called the investigation "an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement" weeks before the midterm elections, while her husband, Tim Mynett, said he has "no concerns" about the inquiry. Prediction market Polymarket gave Omar a 94% chance of winning reelection and a 5% chance of being deported in 2026. Separately, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office in Washington is investigating Omar's congressional financial disclosures after the reported value of assets tied to Mynett's businesses dropped from as much as $30 million to under $100,000 in amended filings.
