Representative Ilhan Omar announced she plans to vacate her Washington, D.C., home following a federal search of the property last week.
Federal agents conducted the raid as part of an investigation into alleged immigration fraud, according to officials. The probe and the search of the congresswoman’s residence have been confirmed publicly as occurring last week, though details released about the inquiry have been limited.
Omar’s decision to move out of the home where the search took place comes in the wake of that operation. She has framed the relocation as a response to the events at the property, and the announcement has drawn attention given her position in Congress.
The investigation into alleged immigration fraud remains ongoing. Further information about the scope of the inquiry, any potential charges or a timetable, and the logistics of Omar’s move has not been disclosed by authorities or her office.
