Minneapolis police seize weapons after raiding home of Ilhan Omar's son
Minneapolis officers entered the apartment shared by Rep. Ilhan Omar's son and his roommate, arresting the roommate and confiscating firearms and ammunition.
According to a statement from the Minneapolis Police Department, officers conducted a search of the apartment where Rep. Ilhan Omar's son, Adnan Omar, lives with his roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi. The raid led to the arrest of Abdi, a repeat offender with ten convictions, after he was cited for driving without insurance and his car was seized. Police also found a firearm and ammunition inside the dwelling and took them into custody.
The department did not indicate that Adnan Omar was charged or implicated in the incident. The case centers on Abdi's alleged weapons violation, while questions remain about any broader investigation. The report noted the seizure of guns and ammo but provided no further detail on potential links to the congresswoman. The incident has drawn political commentary linking the family to other alleged wrongdoing.
Why it matters
The raid ties a member of a U.S. congresswoman's family to a repeat offender and raises questions about weapons possession.
