Federal agents searched Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington, D.C., home Monday under a warrant approved by the Justice Department, which described the action as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.
Homeland Security Investigations agents carried out the predawn search, and boxes marked as seized evidence were later removed from the home. The Justice Department did not publicly identify the focus of the investigation, and Omar has not been charged with a crime.
NPR and CNBC, citing people familiar with the case, reported that the investigation involves allegations of immigration fraud and has been underway for years. Some reports said investigators are examining immigration paperwork completed by Omar’s late father when she came to the United States as a child. The New York Post separately reported that authorities are also scrutinizing financial disclosures by Omar and her husband. D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Tuesday that several investigations were underway, including inquiries concerning immigration issues and Omar’s reported net worth.
Omar, who is seeking reelection in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District in the November 3 midterms, called the search an attempt to target political opponents and “weaponize federal law enforcement.” Her office said she had done nothing wrong. Democratic leaders, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, criticized the search and questioned its timing.
President Donald Trump said he had “nothing to do” with the search and that the matter was up to the Justice Department.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Remove Reuters from the attribution for the claim that the investigation has been underway for years. - "NPR, CNBC and Reuters, citing people familiar with the case, reported that the investigation involves allegations of immigration fraud and has been underway for years.": The supplied Reuters report links the investigation to alleged immigration fraud but does not say it has been underway for years, so the sentence overattributes that detail to Reuters.
