Summary

Lawyers for Rep. Ilhan Omar asked federal prosecutors to return items seized this week when Homeland Security Investigations agents searched her Washington home. The search is part of a criminal investigation into her immigration process, which advanced after investigators reviewed family text messages from her sister's seized phone. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said her office is separately investigating Omar's financial disclosures. Omar is challenging the legality of the search.
