Agents Search Rep. Ilhan Omar's Home in an Open Criminal Case
A judge sent agents through Ilhan Omar's front door.
Summary
- Early Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, Homeland Security Investigations searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's home in the Washington, D.C. area, Fox News reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. The Associated Press also reported a search as part of a criminal investigation.
- A Justice Department spokesperson told Fox: Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice, as part of an ongoing federal investigation.
- Fox, citing sources close to the case, says the question is immigration paperwork her late father filled out when she was a child. The Justice Department statement did not describe the records. No charges are in the stories.
- Fox has reported that Omar said she had not been made aware of a DHS criminal investigation. That is her account of notice, not a finding that the warrant was improper.
Commentary
Monday morning, agents searched a sitting congresswoman's house. The Justice Department says a judge signed the warrant and the criminal case is still open.
Fox's sources say the paperwork goes back to her father, when she was a child. She has not been charged. That is not a pass. An immigration file was serious enough for a warrant before breakfast.
Comments
A judge signed it. That is the part that matters.
Agents on the walk before breakfast. The immigration file is why I am still reading.
No charge yet. Say that once. Then say the warrant was real.
If the papers were her father's, the agents can still look. Childhood is not a lock on an immigration file.
She says she was not told. A judge still opened that door.
Print the warrant. The question on the table is the immigration paperwork.
