The raid on Ilhan Omar's home was triggered by information discovered on a seized phone belonging to Omar's sister, according to the New York Times.

The report comes as new reporting by NewsNation reveals that feds were dumpster-diving at Omar's home, presumably to obtain DNA evidence.

Federal investigators are reportedly reviewing family text messages that implicate Rep. Omar.

"The messages were obtained from a phone that officials seized earlier this year from one of Ms. Omar’s sisters, Sahra Noor," the New York Times reported.

Whatever they discovered on the phone was used to get a federal judge to authorize a search of Omar's home.

The investigation will find out if Omar and her family members lied on immigration paperwork to get into the United States.

NewsNation also reports that federal agents collected Omar's garbage.

Former federal prosecutor Shan Wu says the move is confusing but could be to determine Omar's own relationship to her family, including claims she married her brother.

"If we’re looking at DNA, it’s like a whodunnit: ‘Were they there?’ And it’s kind of hard to figure out how the fraud investigation would figure into that type of evidence," said Wu.
