Overview
- Police say officers stopped Abdulrahman Abdi for no proof of insurance and no license and released him at the scene before finding a firearm in his impounded vehicle.
- Officers tracked Abdi to an address on Marquette Avenue and arrested him without incident, and he was booked into Hennepin County Jail on a weapons charge before later being released.
- Local outlet Alpha News reported a Tuesday-night search warrant at an apartment it tied to Ilhan Omar’s son and said guns and ammunition were recovered, but multiple outlets note that Adnan Hirsi’s residency there has not been independently verified.
- There is no allegation or reporting that Ilhan Omar’s son was arrested or charged, and neither Omar nor her former partner Ahmed Hirsi has publicly commented on the matter.
- Court and booking records show Abdi has prior bookings mostly for driving-related misdemeanors and a 2024 felony conviction for high-speed driving, and outlets caution coverage of Omar’s family is prone to unverified claims.
