Social Media Reaction to Police Raid on Ilhan Omar’s Son’s Home

The home of Adnan Hirsi, son of Rep. Ilhan Omar, was raided by Minneapolis police, leading to a storm on social media. The raid involved the confiscation of guns and ammunition, and the arrest of Hirsi’s roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi, according to Alpha News. Hirsi and his mother, Rep. Omar, were not implicated in any wrongdoing.

The incident drew significant attention online, particularly among right-wing critics. Steve Ferguson, a small business owner with a large following on X, sarcastically posted, “Nothing to see here. Move along.” Benny Johnson, another activist, commented critically, “Not a good look for Ilhan Omar.” An influencer known as “Spitfire” expressed intrigue, stating, “This Omar investigation is getting more interesting by the day.” Columnist Derek Hunter referenced a controversial, unproven theory about Omar’s past marriage, asking, “Anyone shocked that a horrible person would be a horrible mother?”

Comments grew increasingly aggressive, with commentator Gunther Eagleman suggesting deportation for Omar and her family, and opinion columnist Eitan Fischberger linking the raid to broader allegations against Omar and her family. Fischberger noted, “Ilhan Omar: Supports violent jihad. Ilhan’s daughter: Arrested during pro-Hamas campus riots; traveled to Cuba with a CCP-linked group. Ilhan’s son: Home raided by police; guns and ammunition seized.”

Former Trump advisors Corey Lewandowski and Sean Spicer shared the report without comment, highlighting its perceived significance. The details shared included a search warrant executed at the apartment Abdi shared with Hirsi, and the recovery of weapons. Abdi was arrested earlier that day but no wrongdoing was reported against Hirsi.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara declined Fox News Digital’s request for comment. Abdi’s arrest and subsequent booking were confirmed, with his release occurring shortly before midnight the next day.

Rep. Omar, known for her advocacy of gun control, was contacted for comment but no response was reported. Journalist Elizabeth Elkind leads Fox News Digital’s coverage in the political realm, focusing on the House of Representatives.
