Investigators Interview Ilhan Omar's Sister in Probe of 2000 Citizenship Filing

Summary
Sahra Noor, Rep. Ilhan Omar’s sister, has been interviewed by investigators examining alleged immigration fraud tied to Omar’s citizenship paperwork.
The Justice Department is focusing on whether Omar or her now-deceased father falsely stated her age when she became a U.S. citizen in 2000, potentially claiming she was a minor to ease the process.
That interview follows an October 12 search of Omar’s Washington home, where agents sought documents after the Trump administration pushed for broader access before a magistrate judge narrowed the search.
The probe centers on suspected false statements on government forms and a possible conspiracy, extending scrutiny beyond Omar to family members involved in her immigration history.
