US Justice Department tells court the Ilhan Omar search warrant is still not fully executed and targets 'other individuals'

The DOJ has told a federal court that the search warrant targeting Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota remains only partially executed and deliberately extends to "other individuals" beyond Omar herself. Attorney General Todd Blanche personally signed off the warrant and stated its October 12 timing was not intended to influence any election. The filing runs to 47 redacted pages and warns the affidavit is "chock full of privacy interests," with prosecutors signalling they could seek an emergency motion to block any unsealing.

The DOJ says it "expects the warrant will be fully executed in short order," suggesting further searches or actions are imminent.

Omar has repeatedly denied long-running allegations that she committed immigration fraud by marrying her alleged brother Ahmed Nur Said Elmi; her lawyer calls the probe "politically motivated."

At a Minnesota rally this week, streamer Hasan Piker appeared to concede some paperwork irregularity, telling supporters: 'A paperwork violation does not require deportation.'
