Police in Minneapolis reportedly raided the apartment of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son and seized firearms before arresting his roommate.
Law enforcement sources told Alpha News that a search warrant was carried out at the home of Omar's son Adnan on Tuesday night.
According to the outlet, they recovered guns and ammunition from the home and arrested his roommate Abdulrahman Abdi, 22.
Earlier that day, the city's police department said in a statement to the Daily Mail that they conducted a traffic stop and cited Abdi for no proof of insurance and no license.
The department said that Abdi was released at the scene and the vehicle was in the process of being impounded when a firearm was found inside.
Officers later tracked Abdi to an address on Marquette Ave where they said they arrested him 'without incident.'
Abdi was later booked into Hennepin County Jail on a weapons charge before being released on Wednesday night, records show.
According to court records seen by the Daily Mail, Abdi has been convicted ten times in the past, most of the incidents have been misdemeanors.
Last year he was found to have been speeding and driving despite having his license revoked for a previous offense.
In 2024 he was convicted of a felony after officers reported him traveling at 108 miles per hour in St. Paul.
A statement of probable cause said he was behind the wheel of a Jeep Grand Cherokee and was speeding alongside a Dodge Durango.
He pleaded guilty to fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle and was sentenced to one day inside Dakota County Jail.
According to a sentencing order, he was also placed on supervised probation for two years.
