Federal probes examine Ilhan Omar's immigration record and disclosed wealth

Federal authorities are conducting at least two investigations involving Rep. Ilhan Omar. One probe, headed by the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office, focuses on possible immigration violations, while a separate inquiry by the Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney’s Office examines whether Omar overstated her assets by tens of millions of dollars on official disclosure statements. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro affirmed the existence of these investigations and noted that a federal judge authorized a search warrant, which Homeland Security Investigations agents executed at Omar’s D.C. residence, removing boxes of evidence.

The immigration investigation has also prompted grand-jury subpoenas to several of Omar’s relatives, including her sister Sahra Noor. Neither Omar’s office nor her sister responded to comment requests. The dual probes underscore heightened scrutiny of the congresswoman’s personal and financial affairs.
