Federal agents investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar have issued grand jury subpoenas to some of her relatives as part of a criminal inquiry into her family’s immigration history.
A sister of Ms. Omar’s, Sahra Noor, received a subpoena, as did at least one other member of her family circle. On Monday, Department of Homeland Security agents executed a search warrant at Ms. Omar’s home in Washington and carried out boxes of documents.
The investigation focuses in part on whether Ms. Omar’s late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, lied or omitted information in immigration forms before becoming a U.S. citizen. Officials are scouring the family’s history for evidence of fraud and false statements in immigration paperwork.
