Ilhan Omar’s sister questioned by feds after dramatic DC home raid

Federal investigators questioned Rep. Ilhan Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, last week after agents searched the Washington home Omar shares with her husband. The interview was part of an immigration fraud investigation concerning whether Omar or her father provided false information on her citizenship paperwork; the case could have significant consequences if allegations are substantiated.

Noor, who lives in Kenya and was visiting the US for a book tour, reportedly spoke voluntarily, though the scope of the interview is unclear. Investigators seized Omar’s phone, passport and computer, and about a dozen people, including relatives, have reportedly received subpoenas. Omar called the raid an abuse of power and denied wrongdoing, while Vice-President JD Vance said the investigation was not politically motivated.
