Ilhan Omar HSI raid triggered by text message on sister’s phone
NY Post ^ | October 17, 2026 | Gabrielle Fahmy

A family text message on her sister’s phone is what triggered the raid on embattled “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) Washington, DC, home, according to a bombshell report.

Federal investigators seized the phone of Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, earlier this year, as they began looking into whether Somalia-born Omar conspired to commit immigration fraud when she came to the US, three people familiar with the matter told the New York Times.

The text messages were used to secure a federal judge’s approval for Department of Homeland Security agents to raid Omar’s home Monday, when they seized the congresswoman’s phone, passport, notebooks and personal computers.

Noor, who currently lives in Kenya, skipped a scheduled event in Rochester, Thursday, to promote her new book, “Salt in the Snow: A Somali Immigrant Story,” citing a “family emergency” amid the fallout from the raid.

Federal agents also went dumpster diving to collect DNA from Omar’s trash before the raid, sources told NewsNation.

“To me, if they are obviously trying to obtain DNA, then, yes, that is a very easy get, especially if it was discarded even in a trash can,” former FBI special agent Tracy Walder told the outlet.

The evidence is expected to go before a federal grand jury in Minnesota, to determine whether Omar and her family lied when they immigrated to the US in 1995.

The responding text from Omar: “Hey, Sis, Kenya not send me incriminating texts! Thanks”

If the sister was in Kenya, how did they see the message on her phone that “triggered” the raid?

I note the raid confiscated her “passport”, singular.

Is she now in Somalia, with her Somalian passport?

RICO

This is a Somalian Tribal Criminal Organization.
No different than the Italian Mafia from Sicily(Cosa Nostra).

The difference is that the Sicilian Mafia was smarter and better organized.
These Somalians are stupid and sloppy.

Smart criminals do not send text messages to each other on their Smart Phone that they got from Verizon or ATT or TMobil. At least go BUY A BURNER DUMBA$$.

Considering their last name never was OMAR, this should be interesting.

“A Grand Jury in Minneapolistan won’t do anything”

Yep. This is merely an irritation for Omar. She will be sure that people on the right pay when the DSA takes over.

Before he was ARRESTED FOR STEALING $250 MILLION in the 'Feeding Our Future' fraud in Minnesota, Abdikerm Abdelahi Eidleh SENT A TEXT MESSAGE TO Ilhan Omar's STAFFER named Aimee Bock with the headline "ILHAN'S OFFICE".... Ilhan's staffer Aimee Bock was recently SENTENCED TO 41 YEARS IN PRISON !!!!

The above is from my own brief research. I have ALWAYS believed Ilhan Omar is/was the RING LEADER of the Somali fraud in Minnesota and I hope and pray that THIS is what is being investigated and that SHE WILL BE ARRESTED for these crimes. I think the 'immigration violation' thing is a red herring and that the truth of this matter is FAR FAR WORSE.

Just doing a minor correction to my post, Post #10... Instead of “text” it should read “Email”.

A BS story by TDS a-holes at the NYP. The raid was not triggered by a text. They have been investigating this wretched woman for over a year.

LoL - The investigations on Omar were started under the Biden regime and a Biden appointed judge signed the warrants.

For someone who "won't be silenced" - she sure has gone quiet lately.

She also repeatedly claimed "no one is above the law" specifically on the indictment of President Donald Trump in the "hush money" case.

Her husband's companies are also being scrutinized:

"In 2021, Mr. Mynett allegedly promised a D.C.-area investor a 200% return on $300,000 in eStCru, plus interest, but did not repay the funds until sued for fraud in 2023."

Still, I won't believe it until I see her indicted and criminal charges filed against her.

Was there any particular reason you thought we needed to see the exact same story ... two days after the fact?

Search function still works.

One in six residents of India’s large cities lives in a squatter’s camp. Many are home to thousands, one in Delhi close to a million, all on “encroached land.”

Most neighborhoods in India are self-segregated by religion so it isn’t unusual that the most of these homes should be Muhammadan, but the optic makes it look like selective prosecution.
