US Representative Ilhan Omar said she intends to move out of her Washington DC residence after federal agents executed a search warrant at the property last week, according to multiple reports on Monday.
The raid was conducted as part of a federal investigation examining allegations related to immigration matters involving the Minnesota Democrat. Details regarding the specific nature of the inquiry remain limited, with federal authorities declining to comment on the operation or its scope.
Omar's decision to relocate comes amid the ongoing investigation. The congresswoman has not released detailed public statements regarding the circumstances surrounding the federal action or the anticipated timeline for her move.
The incident marks another development in a series of controversies surrounding the lawmaker since her election to Congress in 2018. Omar has previously faced criticism from both Republican and Democratic quarters over various statements and policy positions.
Federal officials have not disclosed whether the investigation extends beyond the congressional representative's residence or involves additional parties. The case remains active, according to law enforcement sources.
