Homeland Security Investigations searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., early Monday, according to a Fox News report published Oct. 12, 2026.
A Justice Department spokesperson told Fox that investigators executed a judicially authorized search warrant obtained by the department as part of an ongoing federal investigation. The statement did not specify what the investigation concerns.
Fox, citing a source familiar with the matter, reported that the inquiry involves alleged fraud related to Omar’s immigration paperwork. The report said the paperwork was completed by her late father when she was a child. It also cited two sources close to the investigation who confirmed details of the probe to Fox on Thursday.
The report noted that border czar Tom Homan said in mid-September that Omar was subject to a criminal investigation. The supplied account does not report any charges, findings of wrongdoing, or response from Omar, and it does not provide further details about the warrant or the materials sought.
The Justice Department’s description confirms a search connected to an ongoing federal investigation, but does not independently confirm the specific focus attributed to the probe by Fox’s sources. The matter was described as developing.
