MINNEAPOLIS — Contrary to several rapidly circulating social-media claims, police did not raid a home belonging to U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar.
According to the authorities, Minneapolis police executed a search warrant Tuesday night, August 25, 2026, at an apartment reportedly occupied by Omar’s adult son, Adnan Hirsi, and his roommate, Abdulrahman Tulle Abdi, 22.
Authorities reportedly recovered firearms and ammunition from the apartment. Neither Rep. Omar nor Hirsi has been arrested, charged or publicly identified as a suspect.
The investigation reportedly began earlier Tuesday with a traffic stop in the 200 block of 11th Street South in Minneapolis. According to a Minneapolis Police Department account reproduced in the original report by Alpha News reporter Liz Collin.
Officers identified the driver as Abdulrahman Tulle Abdi and cited him for driving after cancellation and failing to provide proof of insurance. Police released Abdi at the scene while arranging to impound the vehicle.
During the impound process, officers reportedly discovered a firearm inside the vehicle. Investigators subsequently located Abdi at an apartment on Marquette Avenue, where police said he was arrested without incident.
He was then booked into the Hennepin County Jail on a weapons-related allegation. Fox News independently confirmed that Minneapolis police arrested and booked Abdi shortly after noon on August 25.
Multiple law-enforcement sources told Collin that officers also executed a search warrant at the Marquette Avenue apartment Tuesday night.
Those sources said firearms and ammunition were recovered from the residence. Police have not publicly disclosed the precise number or types of weapons, the quantity of ammunition, where each item was located inside the apartment, or who allegedly owned or controlled the recovered property.
Abdi was released shortly before midnight on August 26, according to jail information reviewed by Fox News. Release from jail does not necessarily mean that an investigation has ended or that charges will not be filed.
It may mean that prosecutors had not filed a formal complaint within the applicable detention period, that Abdi was released under conditions, or that investigators were continuing to examine the evidence.
No publicly accessible criminal complaint arising from the August 25 arrest had been located when this story was prepared.
Adnan Hirsi was not identified as the person stopped in the vehicle and was not the person Minneapolis police said they arrested. Authorities have not accused Hirsi of owning or possessing the firearm reportedly discovered in Abdi’s vehicle, nor have they publicly attributed any weapon recovered from the apartment to him.
The same distinction applies to his mother: Rep. Ilhan Omar was not present in the reported police narrative, her personal residence was not identified as the search location, and she has not been implicated in the alleged weapons offense.
The distinction became blurred as the story spread online. Some posts described the property as “Ilhan Omar’s home” or an “Omar family home,” while the available reporting describes it only as an apartment where her son reportedly lived with Abdi.
Former Trump advisers Corey Lewandowski and Sean Spicer, commentator Benny Johnson, columnist Derek Hunter, activist Gunther Eagleman, businessman Steve Ferguson, commentator Eitan Fischberger and an account identified as Spitfire were among those who shared or commented on the developing story.
Their political reactions are not evidence that Omar or her son committed an offense.
Rep. Omar’s congressional office had not issued a public statement about the apartment search at the time of publication. Fox News said it requested comment from her office, while the Minneapolis Police Department declined to provide Fox with additional details.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara has not been reported as making a personal public statement about the case. The underlying investigation reportedly remains open.
Search warrants ordinarily require a judge to find probable cause that evidence of a crime is likely to be discovered at the location identified in the application.
A warrant authorizes a search; it does not establish the guilt of every occupant. Moreover, possession cases frequently turn on who owned a weapon, who knew it was present, where it was found and whether the person exercised control over it.
Until police reports, the warrant materials, an inventory of seized property or a prosecutor’s complaint are released, those questions remain unresolved.
