Democratic US Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in the Washington, D.C., area was searched by federal agents on Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, the Associated Press reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Agents from Homeland Security Investigations carried out the search under a judicially authorised warrant, the Justice Department confirmed, without disclosing further details.
The development has renewed attention on Omar’s personal life, including her husband, amid years of attacks from US President Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly alleged that the Minnesota congresswoman married her brother. “I believe she married her brother, which is totally illegal,” Trump said at a May 2026 event.
