(Headline USA) Federal authorities investigating Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar seized the Democratic lawmaker’s phone and have issued more than a dozen grand jury subpoenas, including to some of her relatives, according to the Associated Press.
The subpoenas were reportedly issued for a grand jury collecting evidence in Minnesota as federal authorities probe potential fraud in Omar’s immigration paperwork. The investigation led to federal agents searching Omar’s Washington, D.C. home on Monday just weeks before the November midterms, in which Omar is seeking reelection.
The scope of the investigation into Omar is unclear, though Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has suggested that authorities were examining potential crimes related to her family’s immigration paperwork.
Federal investigators are examining how Rep. Ilhan Omar obtained U.S. citizenship, and dozens of her family members have received subpoenas.

On Tuesday, Washington D.C. U.S Attorney Jeanine Pirro said in a Fox News interview that “there are several investigations going on” related to Omar and that her office is also probing issues concerning the lawmaker’s financial disclosures.
“If there was a crime that was committed, it will be prosecuted,” Pirro said.
Omar, in a statement on X, called the search an “attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement.”
Omar, who was first elected to the House in 2018, represents Minnesota’s 5th District, including Minneapolis.
