Key Facts
Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a search warrant at Omar’s home, according to multiple reports.
Fox News reported the raid is part of a criminal investigation of Omar’s immigration paperwork filed by her father when she was a child.
Border czar Tom Homan said last month she was under criminal investigation, without providing details.
Vice President JD Vance also said in May the administration would investigate Omar’s citizenship, referencing the right-wing conspiracy that she married her brother to obtain citizenship, though there is no evidence to support the claim.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
