Federal investigators are reportedly examining DNA evidence as part of a criminal investigation into Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, raising new questions about long-standing allegations surrounding her immigration history and family records.
According to reports from the New York Post and Fox News, authorities have obtained Omar’s DNA and could use the material to investigate allegations that immigration officials were misled. However, investigators have not publicly established that Omar committed immigration fraud, and the precise circumstances surrounding the reported DNA collection remain unclear.
The development comes amid reports of a federal search at Omar’s Washington, D.C., residence and an expanding investigation into documents submitted to immigration authorities years ago.
