Partial Execution of Search Warrant on Rep. Ilhan Omar

On October 28, 2026, the Justice Department informed a federal court that the search warrant involving Representative Ilhan Omar is only partially executed. The warrant includes investigations extending to other individuals. This information emerged in a redacted 47-page document responding to news media requests to unseal records linked to Homeland Security Investigations agents’ search of Omar’s residence in Washington, D.C. The search occurred at approximately 6:05 a.m. on October 12.

The document filed on Tuesday indicated that full execution of the warrant is expected shortly. Prosecutors requested advance notice if the court decides to unseal these records. This is because the affidavit contains numerous privacy-related details. If necessary, the prosecution may file an emergency motion to prevent the unsealing order while appealing the decision.

U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche approved the warrant. He confirmed that its timing was not intended to impact any election or favor any political party or candidate. Accusations against Omar have persisted, alleging her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is also her brother. The marriage supposedly aimed to secure immigration benefits. However, Omar consistently denies these claims. Her attorney describes the investigation as “politically motivated.”

This is a developing story; updates will follow as more details emerge.
