Justice Department Subpoenas Relatives of Representative Omar
Investigators have subpoenaed relatives and carried out a search warrant as they examine possible false statements in the family’s immigration paperwork.
- On Monday, Department of Homeland Security agents searched the Washington home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., removing boxes of documents as part of a federal immigration investigation.
- Federal investigators have spent recent months scrutinizing the family's immigration history, specifically whether her late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, omitted information on citizenship forms, building on a decade-long inquiry that has not resulted in charges.
- Prosecutors issued subpoenas to family members, including one to her sister, Sahra Noor, to gather evidence regarding possible crimes. Grand jury subpoenas do not imply recipients are themselves under investigation.
- Norman L. Eisen, a lawyer who has sued the Trump administration, announced Tuesday that a nonprofit group requested a Hatch Act investigation into whether officials "orchestrated" the search, asserting officials "can't use criminal power to affect an election."
- Trump singled out Omar at a rally Saturday, two days before the search, while Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday he lacked advance knowledge, stating, "If there's a real case there, we're going to follow the facts.
