Ilhan Omar's D.C. home searched by Homeland Security investigators, sources say

NO BUT ACTUALLY THOUGH, THIS WHOLE THING STARTED BECAUSE OF SOME IMMIGRATION PAPERWORK HER DAD FILED WHEN SHE WAS JUST A KID, WHICH IS APPARENTLY WHY HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATORS WERE AT REP. ILHAN OMAR’S D.C. HOUSE MONDAY MORNING. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS HELPING OUT, AND THEY’RE NOT SAYING MUCH BEYOND THE FACT THAT IT IS AN ONGOING FEDERAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, BUT HSI IS THE UNIT RUNNING THE SEARCH WARRANT. IT’S NOT DEPORTATION STUFF, IT’S CRIMINAL FRAUD INVESTIGATION TERRITORY, AND APPARENTLY BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN ALREADY MENTIONED THERE WAS SOMETHING CRIMINAL HAPPENING BACK IN SEPTEMBER. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED THEY GOT THE WARRANT, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY FOUND YET BECAUSE THEY ARE KEEPING IT ALL SUPER TIGHT. OK SOMEBODY ELSE TALK, MY THROAT HURTS.

SO THE NEWS IS DOING THAT THING AGAIN WHERE HOMELAND SECURITY INVESTIGATIONS SHOWS UP AT A CONGRESSWOMAN’S HOUSE WITH A WARRANT. IT’S REP. ILHAN OMAR, AND THE WHOLE FOCUS IS APPARENTLY ON HER CHILDHOOD IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTS AND PAPERWORK HER LATE FATHER HANDLED YEARS AGO. THE DOJ IS BACKING THE HSI AGENTS ON THIS, AND THEY CALLED IT AN ONGOING FEDERAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO STUFF LIKE FRAUD. IT’S WILD BECAUSE TOM HOMAN PRETTY MUCH HINTED THIS WAS COMING LAST MONTH, BUT NOW THEY ARE ACTUALLY EXECUTING SEARCHES ON HER D.C. HOME. THEY HAVE JURISDICTION OVER FEDERAL OFFENSES, BUT WE ARE ALL JUST WAITING TO SEE WHAT COMES OUT OF IT SINCE OFFICIALS AREN’T GIVING ANY DETAILS BEYOND THE FACT THAT THE INVESTIGATION EXISTS. ANYWAY TELL ME IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING ELSE.

Homeland Security investigators executed a federal search warrant at Rep. Ilhan Omar's D.C. home as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her childhood immigration paperwork.
