Ilhan Omar won a fifth term in the U.S. House as federal investigators continue probing her immigration and citizenship records, three weeks after searching her home.
- On October 12, investigators searched Omar's Washington home under a Justice Department warrant, seizing her phone, computer, and passport.
- Omar defeated Republican John Nagle in Minnesota's Fifth District on Tuesday, as Democrats took House control with 219 seats.
- Media reports state authorities are weighing stripping Omar's U.S. citizenship if the probe finds it was obtained unlawfully.
- Omar denies any violation and calls the investigation a political campaign targeting her opposition to Trump.
