Ilhan Omar declines comment as police raid son's shared apartment

A police search of the residence shared by Adnan Hirsi, the son of Rep. Ilhan Omar, and his roommate Abdulrahman Abdi uncovered multiple firearms and ammunition after a warrant was issued on August 25. The warrant followed a routine traffic stop that revealed Abdi, a felon, possessed a gun, violating the law that bars felons from firearm ownership. While Abdi was arrested on a weapons charge and later released, Omar's son remains uninvolved legally.

When reporters asked Omar about the situation and whether she would advise her son to move, she walked away without responding. The incident has sparked criticism of Omar's proximity to a felon, despite her strong advocacy for stricter gun regulations. Her office has not provided a statement, and the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department has not commented further.
