Police executed a search warrant at an apartment tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son, seized guns and ammunition, and arrested his roommate on a weapons charge, according to multiple reports.

Story Highlights

  • Police executed a search warrant at a Minneapolis apartment connected to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son.
  • Officers seized guns and ammunition during the operation, according to published reports.
  • Roommate Abdulrahman Abdi was arrested and booked on a weapons charge, then released the next night.
  • Reports say Omar’s son was not arrested or accused of wrongdoing in the incident.

Warrant Search Links Apartment, Firearms Seizure, And Arrest

Reports say Minneapolis police executed a search warrant Tuesday night at an apartment identified as the residence of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s adult son, where his roommate also lived. Those accounts state officers recovered guns and ammunition from the location during the operation. The same coverage ties the search to the arrest of the roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi, on a weapons-related offense. These details come from multiple outlets that describe the same sequence of events and outcomes.

Published reports further state that officers booked Abdi into the Hennepin County Jail just after midday and released him the following night. The reporting describes a weapons charge as the basis for the booking. One account adds that a traffic stop earlier that day led to the discovery of a firearm, with the warrant served later that evening, though the exact statutory charge code is not shown in the coverage reviewed.

What We Know About Who Lived At The Apartment

Coverage from several outlets identifies the apartment as the home of Adnan Hirsi, Rep. Omar’s son, and says Abdi was his roommate at the time. The reports clearly separate the two men. They state that Omar’s son was not arrested and was not accused of any crime in connection with the search or the seized items. That distinction appears consistently across outlets that carried the story during the same news cycle.

The relationship between the apartment and the search is presented in the reports as warrant-based, not a casual entry. Outlets cite law enforcement sources and contemporaneous information to describe the operation as a planned search that resulted in the recovery of firearms and ammunition. While the stories align on key facts, they do not publish the underlying affidavit or inventory list, and they describe the specific charge only in general terms.

Timeline And Open Procedural Details

Reports suggest a two-part timeline: a daytime arrest of Abdi tied to a weapons issue after a traffic stop, and a nighttime search warrant at the shared apartment. Those write-ups say guns and ammunition were recovered during the warranted search. They also note that Abdi was booked the same day and released the next evening. The coverage does not include the formal complaint, the warrant return, or the seized-property inventory that would fix the exact timing and statute cited.

Outlets that followed the story emphasized clear lines of accountability and public safety. They reported what police actions occurred and what was recovered, while also stating that Omar’s son was not implicated. That matters for readers who value law and order, equal treatment, and facts over spin. Arrests and warrants must meet the law, and firearms laws must be enforced. The reports describe both enforcement and due process at work in Minneapolis this week.
