Minneapolis police reportedly searched the apartment of Representative Ilhan Omar’s son, Adnan Omar, on Tuesday night after finding a firearm during a traffic stop involving his roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi. Police said Abdi was arrested without incident at a Marquette Avenue address and later faced a weapons charge; reports said guns and ammunition were seized from the home. The case has drawn attention because of the address’s connection to Omar’s son, though the article does not allege that he was arrested or charged.

Abdi, 22, had initially been cited for driving without proof of insurance or a licence before officers found a firearm in the vehicle being impounded, police said. Jail records reportedly show he was released on Wednesday night, while court records cited by the article show previous convictions, including a 2024 felony conviction for fleeing police in a vehicle after an alleged high-speed incident. The report also notes Omar’s previous claim that her son was questioned by immigration agents and released after showing a US passport.
