Minneapolis police executed a search warrant at an apartment where Adnan Hirsi, the son of US Representative Ilhan Omar, lives. During the search, guns and ammunition were recovered from the property. Hirsi's roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi, was arrested by the Minneapolis Police Department on weapons charges.

Disagreement on confirmation of residence

The Hindustan Times reported that it could not independently confirm Adnan Hirsi's residence or his links to Abdulrahman Abdi. However, Alpha News, a Minnesota-based outlet, reported that police carried out the raid at the apartment where Hirsi lives with Abdi, citing law enforcement sources who indicated Hirsi lived there.

  • The Hindustan Times led with the report of a police raid on an apartment linked to Ilhan Omar's son, Adnan Hirsi, and the arrest of his roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi, over alleged gun recovery. The outlet stated it could not independently confirm Hirsi's residence or his connection to Abdi. It also noted that Ilhan Omar is often a target of conservative social media, making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake news about her.
