Ilhan Omar, lives. - Guns and ammunition were recovered from the apartment. - Abdulrahman Abdi, Hirsi's roommate, was arrested on weapons charges. - The Hindustan Times could not independently confirm Hirsi's residence or his links to Abdi. 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. ## What the coverage left out None of the right-rated reports below mention that the Hindustan Times could not independently confirm Adnan Hirsi's residence or his links to Abdulrahman Abdi. ## Who covered it Shares of the 16 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 6% (1) - Right: 94% (15) 1 of 17 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Most recently checked 2026-08-28T01:15:40.595Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left No separate framing summary. ### Centre - 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. ### Right - Reports from right-rated outlets consistently stated that Minneapolis police raided the apartment where Ilhan Omar's son, Adnan Hirsi, lives, recovering guns and ammunition. They reported the arrest of his roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi, on weapons charges. Several outlets, including The Gateway Pundit and WND, used phrases like 'Crime family' or highlighted that the incident was 'not a good look' for Omar. The Gateway Pundit included a tweet from Liz Collin of Alpha News, stating that multiple law enforcement sources confirmed the search warrant execution and the recovery of firearms and ammunition. PJ Media noted that the arrested roommate had '10 convictions'. ## Factuality profile of the covering outlets These are published factuality ratings of the outlets, not a verdict on whether this story or its claims are true. - veryLow: 1 - low: 6 - mixed: 9 - unknown: 1 ## Verification scope This page compares coverage and scores the source reporting.
