Ilhan Omar's turbulent week explained: The dueling probes that threw the Somali-born progressive into chaos

It was a week of legal turmoil for one of America's most recognizable members of Congress.

Early Monday morning, federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the chief investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), executed a search warrant on Washington, D.C. home of Rep.

Ilhan Omar , D-Minn.

The raid was part of an ongoing criminal probe into Omar's immigration status, with sources telling Fox News Digital that authorities are scrutinizing whether she or her father committed fraud when filling out paperwork for her to become a U.S. citizen.

A day later, U.S.

Attorney for the District of Washington, D.C., Jeannine Pirro, announced her office was investigating Omar's financial disclosures , which had previously been subject to public scrutiny and congressional oversight, but never by authorities.

One was was a venture capital firm, and the other a California winery.

Her financial disclosures from the year prior, covering 2023, said those assets were only valued at between $15,000 and $51,000 total.

The now-defunct winery, eStCru LLC, saw its reported valuation jump from between $15,000 and $50,000 in 2023 to between $1 million and $5 million in 2024.

Rose Lake Capital LLC showed an even sharper increase, rising from a reported value of between $1 and $1,000 in 2023 to between $5 million and $25 million the following year.

The massive reported spike in net worth over the one-year span raised eyebrows, leading a watchdog group called the National Legal and Policy Center to file a complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct in February of this year. 'SQUAD' DEM DISMISSES FRAUD PROBE SPECULATION AFTER $29M NET-WORTH DROP Less than a month after the complaint was filed, Omar amended her 2025 disclosure form.
