Minneapolis 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 Snapshot
- Police executed a search warrant at an apartment linked to Ilhan Omar’s son.
- Officers seized guns and ammunition during the operation, reports say.
- Roommate Abdulrahman Abdi was arrested and booked on a weapons charge.
- Reports say Omar’s son was not arrested or accused of wrongdoing.
What Police Did And What Was Found
Minneapolis police executed a search warrant at a Minneapolis apartment where reports say Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son, Adnan Hirsi, lives with a roommate. During the search, officers seized guns and ammunition, according to multiple outlets that cited law enforcement sources. The action was described as a warrant-based search, not an informal entry. The Minneapolis Police Department’s public statements in those reports did not detail the warrant or the items, but the accounts aligned on the recovery of weapons.
Separate reporting states officers arrested Abdulrahman Abdi, who is described as Hirsi’s roommate at the apartment. Jail records cited by outlets say Abdi was booked on a weapons charge and released the following night. One account says the arrest followed a sequence that included a traffic stop earlier that day, with the apartment search taking place later that evening; exact charge codes were not provided in the coverage summarized by those outlets.
Who Was Arrested And Who Was Not
Coverage across several outlets drew a clear line between the two men. Reports tie the search location to Hirsi, Rep. Omar’s son, but say he was not arrested and was not accused of wrongdoing in connection with the police action. The arrest involved his reported roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi, on a weapons-related booking, according to the cited accounts. Outlets repeated that distinction to avoid suggesting Hirsi faced charges or that he was the target of the recovered guns and ammunition.
The connection between Hirsi and the apartment is described in the reports as a roommate arrangement. The stories do not publish a lease or utility record, and police did not provide those details in public statements cited by the outlets. Still, the outlets align on the claim that Abdi shared the apartment with Hirsi and that the warrant-based search happened there, where officers recovered firearms and ammunition.
Why This Story Drew Fast Attention
The incident hit several pressure points at once: a public figure’s family, a police search, and guns. Those elements tend to spread quickly online and on talk shows, even when official paperwork is not yet public. Media-law analysis shows that high-profile political stories often harden into set narratives before courts or records fill in the gaps, which can fuel partisan spin and public mistrust of basic facts. That pattern helps explain the rapid spotlight on this case.

Minneapolis has also faced intense scrutiny over search warrants in recent years, especially after the 2022 killing of Amir Locke during a no-knock raid. That history led to policy changes and ongoing legal actions, keeping local attention high on how and when police execute warrants. Against that backdrop, a warrant-based search that reportedly turned up guns at an apartment tied to a prominent lawmaker’s son was bound to draw strong reactions and close follow-up reporting.
