Ilhan Omar Raid Approved After Feds Seized Sister’s Phone

The raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) home reportedly moved forward after federal law enforcement reviewed a phone seized from the Minnesota congresswoman’s sister, author and health care executive Sahra Noor.

The New York Times reported that Noor’s phone was taken earlier this year as investigators reportedly sought to build a case against Omar for conspiracy to commit immigration fraud — and that text messages sent between members of her family are being used to bolster that case.

Homeland Security agents, the outlet reported, had used those messages to convince a federal judge to sign off on the search warrant that was executed on Monday at Omar’s home in Washington, D.C.

The investigation into Omar and her family — and whether or not they are guilty of immigration fraud — began during former President Joe Biden’s term in the White House but has ramped up in recent weeks as President Donald Trump’s administration has also vowed to investigate whether the Minnesota Democrat is guilty of marriage fraud.

Investigators who searched the congresswoman’s home in Washington, D.C., were reportedly looking for documents that were filled out by Omar and her father when they first came to the United States in an effort to determine whether or not her citizenship is valid.

Omar referred to the search as politically motivated and said it was proof that President Trump was weaponizing the Justice Department against his critics — and has demanded that the items taken from her home during the search be returned to her.

Omar has long claimed that she gained U.S. citizenship at the age of 17 when her father became a naturalized citizen in 2000.

As The Daily Wire previously reported, if Omar was indeed 17 at the time, she could have derived citizenship automatically through her father’s naturalization under the law then in effect, provided she was an unmarried permanent resident under 18 and met the requirements regarding her parents’ status. But questions have been raised about her age, particularly after Omar’s congressional staff had her listed birth year changed from 1981 to 1982 after a political opponent raised questions about it.

Further complicating Omar’s account is the fact that a 2023 search for any record or proof of Omar’s father’s naturalization came up empty, the New York Post reported.

AJ Kern, Omar’s opponent in the 2022 Democratic primary, had requested information about Omar’s father during the campaign — in order to verify the congresswoman’s claims about her own citizenship — and was informed a year later that the record search had failed to locate proof that he had been naturalized, the Post reported.
