Ilhan Omar's Sister Questioned in Immigration Fraud Probe After 6 a.m. DC Raid

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 20

Summary

  • Sahra Noor, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s older sister, voluntarily spoke with federal investigators last week after Homeland Security Investigations raided Omar’s Washington home, according to three sources familiar with the case.
  • The probe is examining whether Omar or her father falsified information in her citizenship paperwork, a line of inquiry that officials say could expose the Minnesota Democrat to denaturalization if allegations are proved.
  • Monday’s search warrant led agents to seize Omar’s phone, passport and computer, while the New York Times reported about a dozen people — including relatives — have been subpoenaed.
  • Noor, who lives in Kenya and was in the United States promoting her memoir, canceled an Oct. 15 Minnesota book event that organizers said was due to a family emergency.
  • Omar has called the raid a Trump administration abuse of power, while Vice President JD Vance said the investigation is being driven by facts rather than politics.
