Federal investigators questioned Rep Ilhan Omar's sister Sahra Noor following a raid on Omar's Washington home as part of an immigration fraud probe.

Federal investigators questioned Rep Ilhan Omar's sister Sahra Noor in connection with an immigration fraud probe into the congresswoman, according to Fox News. The questioning followed a raid by Homeland Security Investigations on Omar's Washington home early on Monday morning.

Noor voluntarily spoke with investigators, though the scope of the conversation is unclear. Like Omar, Noor fled civil war in Somalia as a child. She currently lives in Kenya but has been in the United States promoting her book, 'Salt in the Snow: A Somali Immigrant Story'. Fox News reports that Noor canceled a scheduled book tour event in Minnesota last week, with a local bookstore initially citing a family emergency before the questioning by federal investigators became known.
