U.S. federal agents have reportedly seized Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s cellphone during a search of her home in Washington, D.C., as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged immigration fraud.
According to reports, investigators have issued more than a dozen subpoenas involving Omar’s relatives as they examine inconsistencies in family immigration documents dating back to 1995.
Omar, who became a U.S. citizen in 2000, has denied any wrongdoing. She has also accused the Trump administration of targeting her for political reasons, raising questions about the investigation and its possible implications for the Minnesota congresswoman.
The probe remains ongoing, and the allegations have not been proven. No finding of guilt has been established against Omar, meaning the investigation should not be interpreted as evidence that she committed a crime.
Further developments could shed more light on the scope of the investigation, the evidence being examined by authorities, and whether additional legal steps will follow.
