Minneapolis police carried out a search warrant Tuesday at an apartment in the city’s north side that is shared by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son, Adnan Hirsi, and his roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi. Officers seized several firearms and ammunition before taking Abdi into custody.
Details of the raid
The warrant, obtained by the Minneapolis Police Department, authorized officers to enter the residence and collect evidence related to alleged illegal activity involving the roommate. After the search, Abdi was arrested on the same day and later released before midnight. Police have not released any further information about the specific allegations against Abdi.
No wrongdoing reported for Hirsi or Rep. Omar
Authorities confirmed that Hirsi was not implicated in any wrongdoing and that the congresswoman herself was not involved in the investigation. The police department declined to comment further when contacted by Fox News Digital.
Public reaction
The incident quickly spread on social media, prompting a wave of commentary from right‑leaning commentators and influencers. Small‑business owner Steve Ferguson, who has a large following on X, posted a brief “Nothing to see here. Move along.” Benny Johnson, a conservative activist, called the situation “not a good look for Ilhan Omar.” Other online personalities, including the influencer known as “Spitfire,” suggested the investigation was becoming more interesting.
Some commentators escalated the criticism, invoking unverified personal attacks and conspiracy theories about Rep. Omar’s family. Former Trump advisors Corey Lewandowski and Sean Spicer also shared the report without additional comment.
Context
Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota’s 5th district, is a vocal advocate for gun‑control measures. The raid comes amid ongoing national debates over public safety, gun ownership, and the conduct of law‑enforcement agencies.
While the investigation focuses on the roommate’s alleged conduct, the incident has reignited partisan criticism of Rep. Omar, with many on the right using the episode to question her judgment and family ties. No charges have been filed against Hirsi, and the police have not indicated any further action will be taken against him.
What’s next?
The Minneapolis Police Department has not announced any further steps in the case. Observers note that the outcome will depend on the evidence gathered during the raid and any subsequent prosecutorial decisions. For now, the focus remains on the legal process surrounding Abdi’s alleged wrongdoing.
