Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) Washington, D.C., home has been raided by agents from the Department of Homeland Security, Fox News Digital reported on Monday morning.
“Today in the Washington, D.C. area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice,” a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The statement went on: “This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation.”
It’s not yet known whether Omar was in the home at the time of the raid.
Omar’s disgust toward DHS is no secret. Just this weekend, she posted a screed against the agency after an officer in New York shot a man in his car while his 5-year-old son sat in the vehicle.
“ICE is out of control,” she posted on Saturday. “This week, a five year-old child watched ICE shoot his father. Trump’s rogue agency has shot more than 43 people in two years, murdering eight. There is no reforming this abhorrent agency. Abolish ICE.”
Omar has been a target of President Donald Trump and his allies for years, with MAGA influencers such as Laura Loomer calling on Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to deport Omar just last month.
As news of the raid emerged on Monday, Loomer was among those cheering.
“Immigration officials with DHS raided jihadist Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s home this morning,” Loomer posted on X. “She is being investigated for immigration fraud after marrying her brother. This is what I voted for! Deport her back to Somalia!”

Trump himself has repeatedly said Omar should “get the hell out of our country.”
