The heat on far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and her family continues to build as more damning information leaks out, including what triggered the raid on her home to begin with.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, federal agents raided the Washington, DC-area residence of Omar early Monday morning as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into her immigration paperwork.
Fox News Digital reported exclusively that the pre-dawn raid was part of an ongoing criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, documents filled out by her late father when she was a child.
According to her website, Ilhan Omar arrived in the United States in March 1995, when she was 12 years old. She came with her family as a Somali refugee after spending approximately four years in a refugee camp in Kenya. She became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000, at age 17.
Multiple agents wearing HSI jackets were observed outside the residence around 6 a.m.
Now, we know exactly the discovery that led to the raid. The New York Times exclusively reported on Saturday that federal officials seized the phone of Omar’s Sister, Sahra Noor, earlier this year.
When they did so, they noticed that the phone contained damning family text messages. Investigators then later used these messages to get a federal judge to authorize the raid on Omar’s home.
