In an interview broadcast on October 21, 2026, Rep. Ilhan Omar stated that she can no longer live in her Washington, D.C., home and must move due to safety concerns and death threats after a federal search made her address public.
According to reporting from NBC News, CBS News, and The Guardian, Rep. Ilhan Omar explained during a televised interview with MS NOW that she would have to relocate from her Washington, D.C., residence following an October 12, 2026, search by federal Homeland Security Investigations agents. Omar noted that the search made her address public, which, combined with ongoing death threats, made it unsafe for her and her family to continue living there. These sources confirm the statement was made as described.
