The raid of the Somali-born congresswoman’s home started around 6 a.m. with HSI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) leading the operation. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is also involved in the investigation.
“Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation,” a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The DOJ later added that the investigation was “criminal” in nature.
Fox News Digital reached out to a spokesperson for Omar.
Border czar Tom Homan said in mid-September that the progressive congresswoman was subject to an ongoing “criminal” investigation.
HSI is the principal investigative arm of DHS. Its scope includes investigating cross-border crime and global threats, including human trafficking and child sexual exploitation, drug smuggling and cybercrime. HSI plays a major front-line role in America’s counterterrorism operations. (Read more: Fox News, 10/12/2026) (Archive)
