Federal authorities seized a cell phone belonging to Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., during a Monday raid on her Washington, D.C., home as part of a criminal fraud investigation into her immigration paperwork.
Omar’s immigration history is facing renewed scrutiny, with investigators issuing more than a dozen subpoenas to her family members following the raid on her residence.
Investigators are examining whether Omar’s family lied about her age when she immigrated to the United States in 1995. Omar became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000. The probe centers on whether the age listed on her application differed from her actual birth date.
She was reported as 17 years old at the time she acquired citizenship, making her eligible to receive citizenship automatically through her father’s naturalization.
Questions surrounding Omar’s age resurfaced after her congressional staff contacted a Minnesota public library months after she took office to request that her birth year in historical records be changed from 1981 to 1982.

Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett, expressed confidence when asked about the investigation into his wife.
„My wife came here when she was 12 years old as a child war refugee,“ Mynett told Fox News Digital this week. „No concerns.“

Authorities are also examining paperwork submitted by Omar’s late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, regarding his application to enter the U.S., investigating whether statements on his filings were untruthful.
Omar has denied any wrongdoing and accused the Trump administration of weaponizing federal law enforcement against political opponents.
„For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back,“ her office said in a statement. „Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.“
In addition to the immigration probe, a separate inquiry is underway regarding Omar’s federal financial disclosures. Officials noted that financial disclosure review is unrelated to the raid on her home.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Omar’s office.
