Federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant at the Washington, D.C. home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Monday. The raid, part of an ongoing criminal probe into her immigration status, coincided with a separate investigation into her financial disclosures announced by U.S. Attorney Jeannine Pirro the following day.
Sources told Fox News Digital that authorities are scrutinizing whether Omar or her father committed fraud when filling out paperwork for her U.S. citizenship. The Wall Street Journal reported that the goal of this probe is to strip Omar of her citizenship. HSI agents spent several hours at the home and seized Omar's personal cell phone, computers, and passport, according to the Journal. A dozen people, including family members, have been subpoenaed in relation to the investigation.
The second investigation centers on discrepancies in Omar's financial disclosure forms. In May 2025, Omar filed forms for 2024 showing assets between $6 million and $30 million tied to two businesses run by her husband, Tim Mynett: a venture capital firm and a California winery. This represented a sharp increase from her 2023 disclosures, which valued those same assets at between $15,000 and $51,000 total. Specifically, eStCru LLC rose from a reported value of $15,000 to $50,000 in 2023 to $1 million to $5 million in 2024, while Rose Lake Capital LLC jumped from $1 to $1,000 to $5 million to $25 million.
The National Legal and Policy Center filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct in February regarding the spike. Less than a month later, Omar amended her disclosure form, reducing the couple's combined reported assets to between $18,004 and $95,000 and stating the businesses had zero value after accounting for liabilities. Omar attributed the error to an accounting mistake and has repeatedly insisted she is not a millionaire. In September, the Office of Congressional Conduct voted 5-1 to advise the House Ethics Committee to drop the misconduct allegations.
Despite the ethics committee's recommendation, Pirro confirmed on Fox News' "America Reports" that her office is investigating the discrepancies. Critics argued the Monday raid was politically motivated because it occurred three weeks before November's general elections, an accusation the Trump administration has denied.
President Donald Trump commented on the raid Monday, stating he had always found Omar to be "totally crooked" but asserted that had nothing to do with him. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News Digital that the administration intends to let facts drive the case and would take steps only if justice required them. Vance noted that denaturalizing a sitting member of Congress would be unprecedented but stated it would be pursued if the law required it based on the facts.
Omar responded on social media, calling the raid an "outrageous abuse of power" and an escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement against political enemies. Her office did not return multiple requests for comment throughout the week.
