Social media is in a frenzy over a report that police raided the home of Rep. Ilhan Omar's son over allegations against his roommate.
Minneapolis police raided the home of Adnan Hirsi earlier this week and confiscated guns and ammunition before arresting his roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi, Alpha News reported.
Hirsi, Omar's son, has not been implicated in any wrongdoing, nor was the congresswoman implicated in the incident.

But the report's mention that the suspect shares an apartment with the progressive lawmaker's son was enough to make her right-wing critics on social media erupt.
"Nothing to see here. Move along," Steve Ferguson, a small business owner with nearly 300,000 followers on X, posted.

Right-wing activist Benny Johnson wrote, "Not a good look for Ilhan Omar."
Online influencer "Spitfire" wrote on the site, "This Omar investigation is getting more interesting by the day."
"Anyone shocked that a horrible person would be a horrible mother? What do you expect from someone who marries their brother?" Townhall columnist Derek Hunter wrote, referencing an unproven online conspiracy theory that Omar previously was married to her brother, which she has denied.

"Ilhan Omar: Supports violent jihad. Ilhan's daughter: Arrested during pro-Hamas campus riots; traveled to Cuba with a CCP-linked group. Ilhan's son: Home raided by police; guns and ammunition seized," Eitan Fischberger, a former staff sergeant in the Israeli military and a current opinion columnist, wrote.
The report itself was also shared without comment by former Trump advisors Corey Lewandowski and Sean Spicer.
The report said a search warrant was executed Tuesday at the home Abdi shares with Hirsi, and that guns and ammunition were recovered. Abdi was reportedly arrested earlier in the day. No wrongdoing by Hirsi was reported.

The Minneapolis Police Department declined to comment when reached by Fox News Digital.
Fox News Digital did confirm that Abdi was arrested by Minneapolis police and booked just after noon on Tuesday. He was released just before midnight the next day, records show.
