U.S. Seeks to Keep Omar Search Warrant Sealed in 2026 Probe Over Alias Claims

Jeanine Pirro asked a federal court on Wednesday to keep sealed the search warrant tied to the Oct. 12 raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington home, saying investigators are still executing it.
The filing identifies the Minnesota Democrat as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar,” while Fox News reported sources alleging Omar has lived under an alias as investigators examine possible immigration-form fraud.
Omar has not been charged, and her office flatly denied the report, saying “Ilhan Omar is her real name” and again rejecting allegations that she married her brother for immigration purposes.
Federal agents previously seized Omar’s phone and passport and obtained her DNA, according to the report; a former immigration judge said any proven lifelong alias could cast sworn government forms into question.
The case has widened a politically charged fight after Omar accused Trump’s administration of weaponizing federal law enforcement against her, while prosecutors continue to treat the warrant materials as part of an active investigation.
