联邦特工今晨搜查众议员奥马尔华盛顿住处 司法部证实执行搜查令
美国国土安全调查局（HSI）特工10月12日凌晨突袭搜查了明尼苏达州联邦众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔（Ilhan Omar）在华盛顿地区的住处。司法部发言人向福克斯新闻证实，这是一次经司法部批准的司法搜查令执行行动，属于正在进行的联邦调查的一部分。
据福克斯新闻数字版率先报道，多名身穿 HSI 夹克的特工于12日凌晨出现在奥马尔位于华盛顿特区的住处外。司法部发言人在声明中说："今天在华盛顿特区地区，国土安全调查局执行了一份由司法部取得的司法授权搜查令。这次执法行动是正在进行的联邦调查的一部分。"
两名接近调查的消息人士告诉福克斯新闻，此次搜查与一项刑事欺诈调查有关，调查对象是奥马尔的移民文书——这些文书由她已故的父亲在她年幼时填写。美联社援引知情人士独立证实，HSI 特工作为刑事调查的一部分搜查了这处住所，但调查细节尚不清楚。
事件发生前约一个月，白宫边境事务主管汤姆·霍曼（Tom Homan）曾于9月中旬公开表示，奥马尔是一项正在进行的"刑事"调查的对象，但未提供细节。奥马尔当时回应称，国土安全部官员并未就任何调查与她联系，并驳斥相关指控出于政治动机。
奥马尔现年44岁，出生于索马里，1995年作为儿童难民抵达美国，2000年成为美国公民，2018年首次当选联邦众议员，代表明尼苏达州第五选区。她是国会进步派"小分队"（the Squad）成员之一。
截至12日上午，奥马尔办公室尚未就此次搜查发表公开声明。国土安全部将置评请求转给了司法部，白宫未提供超出司法部声明之外的细节。
此事正在发展中。
Federal Agents Search Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington-Area Home; DOJ Confirms Judicially Authorized Warrant
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents conducted a predawn search of the Washington-area home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Oct. 12. A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital that agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice as part of an ongoing federal investigation.
Multiple agents wearing HSI jackets were seen outside Omar's Washington, D.C., residence in the early hours of Monday, Fox News Digital first reported. "Today in the Washington, D.C. area, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation," the DOJ spokesperson said.
Two sources close to the investigation told Fox News the search is connected to a criminal fraud inquiry into Omar's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child. The Associated Press, citing people familiar with the matter, separately confirmed that HSI agents searched the home as part of a criminal investigation, though details of the probe were unclear.
About a month earlier, White House border czar Tom Homan said in mid-September that Omar was the subject of an ongoing "criminal" investigation, without providing details. Omar said at the time that Homeland Security officials had not contacted her about any investigation and dismissed the allegations as politically motivated.
Omar, 44, was born in Somalia, arrived in the United States in 1995 as a child refugee, became a U.S. citizen in 2000, and was first elected to the House in 2018 representing Minnesota's 5th district. She is a member of the progressive congressional group known as "the Squad."
As of Monday morning, Omar's office had not issued a public statement on the search. The Department of Homeland Security referred comment requests to the Justice Department, and the White House provided no details beyond the DOJ statement.
