Partial Execution of a Search Warrant Related to Ilhan Omar

On October 28, 2026, a report revealed that a search warrant linked to U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar is only partially executed and applies to additional individuals. This was communicated by the Justice Department to a federal court.

Details emerged from a redacted 47-page document opposing the request from news outlets to unseal information regarding Homeland Security Investigations agents’ search of Omar’s Washington residence on October 12 at around 6:05 a.m. The filing stated that the warrant is anticipated to be fully executed soon.

Prosecutors requested prior notice if the court decides to unseal the records. They noted the affidavit contains numerous privacy interests and indicated that they might file an urgent motion to delay the unsealing order pending an appeal.

U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the warrant and confirmed that its timing was not intended to influence any election or favor any candidate or political party, according to the filing.

Omar has consistently faced unfounded allegations that her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is her brother and that their marriage aimed at obtaining immigration benefits. She has repeatedly denied these claims, with her attorney labeling the investigation as politically driven.
