Summary
A day after Homeland Security Investigations agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington home as part of a fraud investigation into immigration paperwork her late father filed when she was a child, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said her office is separately investigating Omar's financial disclosures, which showed businesses tied to her husband rising from as much as $51,000 in 2023 to $30 million in 2024. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin had said in September investigators were examining whether Omar's family fraudulently obtained refugee status. Omar called the search political targeting and is fundraising off it.
