7 sources →

Federal authorities from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed a search warrant at the Washington, D.C. residence of Rep. Ilhan Omar on October 12, 2026. The investigation reportedly concerns Omar's immigration history and paperwork. Her husband, Tim Mynett, publicly stated he has no concerns regarding the probe, emphasizing her status as a child war refugee. The raid occurs three weeks before the 2026 election, prompting criticism from Omar that the investigation is politically motivated. Simultaneously, President Trump has publicly questioned the couple's finances, specifically pointing to a 2024 financial disclosure that was later amended due to reported accounting errors regarding Mynett's business assets.
