Ilhan Omar's sister questioned by feds after dramatic DC home raid
Key Points:
- Rep. Ilhan Omar's older sister, Sahra Noor, was voluntarily questioned by federal investigators last week in connection with an immigration fraud probe targeting the congresswoman, following a raid on Omar's Washington, D.C. residence.
- The investigation, led by Homeland Security Investigations, centers on whether Omar or her father falsified information on her citizenship paperwork, with Omar's phone, passport, and computer seized during the raid.
- Noor canceled a scheduled book tour event amid the investigation fallout, initially citing a family emergency, but it was later revealed she was questioned by authorities.
- Omar has publicly condemned the raid as politically motivated, while Vice President JD Vance stated the probe is not politically driven and emphasized adherence to the law and facts.
- About a dozen people, including Omar’s relatives, have been subpoenaed in the case, and Omar has not made any public appearances since the raid.
