Ilhan Omar's sister skips book tour event amid week of chaos following raid on progressive's DC home

1 sources →

Sahra Noor, the sister of Representative Ilhan Omar, canceled a scheduled book tour event at the University of Minnesota Rochester citing a 'family emergency.' The cancellation occurred following a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raid on Rep. Omar's Washington, D.C. residence earlier in the week. The raid is reportedly linked to a federal investigation into potential immigration fraud involving citizenship paperwork. Rep. Omar has characterized the investigation as a weaponization of law enforcement, while her sister, currently promoting her memoir, was reportedly subpoenaed in connection with the probe.
