The search warrant lists potential offenses including false statements, fraud in immigration paperwork and conspiracy, the New York Times reported, citing a person familiar with the document. Homeland Security Investigations agents executed the warrant approved by a federal judge as part of an ongoing criminal investigation. Fox News reported that the probe includes immigration paperwork Omar’s late father filed when she was a child. The Justice Department has not publicly disclosed the investigation’s full scope, and no charges against Omar have been announced.
Omar called the search “an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement” and said, “I will not be silenced.” Her spokesperson denied wrongdoing. House Democratic leaders condemned the search, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accused Trump of abusing his power to pursue political opponents weeks before the midterm elections, in which Omar is running for reelection.
