美国国土安全部调查司周一对众议院议员伊尔汗·奥马尔位于华盛顿特区的住所执行了司法授权搜查令。12美国司法部发言人表示，这一执法行动是正在进行的联邦调查的组成部分。1据报道，特工正在审查奥马尔父亲在她童年时期填写的移民文件。1
奥马尔是明尼苏达州民主党众议院议员，生于索马里，8岁时移居美国。2多年来，特朗普及其盟友多次指控奥马尔通过欺诈获得公民身份，而奥马尔一直否认这些指控。1特朗普曾建议奥马尔应该回到索马里并被驱逐。2奥马尔于2018年首次当选国会议员，目前正为下月的连任竞选而奔走。2
Federal authorities conducted a search of U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar's residence in the Washington, DC area on Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation 12. The Homeland Security Investigations division executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice 1. A Justice Department spokesperson stated: "Today in the Washington, DC area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation" 1.
According to reports, federal agents are reviewing immigration documents completed by Omar's father during her childhood 1. The specific focus of the investigation has not been publicly disclosed 2. The search comes amid longstanding allegations by Trump and his allies that Omar committed fraud to obtain U.S. citizenship—claims she has consistently denied 1. Trump has previously suggested Omar should return to Somalia and be deported, and last week claimed on social media that Minnesota had been "taken over by Somali immigrants" 2.
Omar, a Minnesota Democrat first elected to Congress in 2018, was born in Somalia and fled to the United States at age eight to escape warfare 2. She is currently campaigning for re-election next month 2. In 2019, she and fellow Representative Rashida Tlaib became the first Muslim women elected to Congress 1.
