Police Raid Home of Ilhan Omar's Son, Recover Guns and Ammunition: Report
Police executed a search warrant earlier this week at a Minneapolis apartment where the son of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, lives, according to multiple reports.
Law enforcement sources told Alpha News reporter Liz Collin that guns and ammunition were recovered during the search.
According to a report Collin shared on her X page, police did not say whether Omar’s son was arrested or charged in connection with the search, or whether he was suspected of any wrongdoing.
Minneapolis police confirmed to Collin that another man, not Omar’s son, had been arrested earlier Tuesday, she said.
That man was identified as Abdulrahman Abdi, according to Collin’s report.
Abdi, 22, was booked into the Hennepin County Jail on a weapons charge.

During the impound process, officers recovered a firearm from the vehicle, according to the report shared by Collin.
Officers then tracked Abdi to the apartment, and he was eventually booked into the Hennepin County Jail on a weapons charge.
The Minneapolis Police Department said the investigation remains ongoing.
The Daily Mail reported on the incident:
According to court records seen by the Daily Mail, Abdi has been convicted ten times in the past, most of the incidents have been misdemeanors.
Last year he was found to have been speeding and driving despite having his license revoked for a previous offense. In 2024 he was convicted of a felony after officers reported him traveling at 108 miles per hour in St. Paul.
Omar, a far-left Democrat, has represented Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District in the House since 2019.
