Minneapolis police executed a search warrant at an apartment linked to the son of U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, recovering firearms and ammunition and arresting his roommate on a weapons-related charge. The incident has drawn attention due to the connection to the Minnesota congresswoman, though authorities have not implicated her or her son, Adnan Hirsi, in any wrongdoing.

According to the Minneapolis Police Department, the investigation began earlier that day when officers conducted a traffic stop in the 200 block of 11th Street South. The driver, identified as 22-year-old Abdulrahman Abdi, was cited for driving after cancellation and failing to provide proof of insurance. He was released at the scene, but his vehicle was impounded. During the impound process, officers discovered a firearm inside the car.

Officers executed a search warrant at the apartment that evening, recovering additional guns and ammunition. Abdi was arrested without incident and booked into the Hennepin County...
