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.
Commentator Gunther Eagleman called to "deport Ilhan Omar and her family."
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.
Omar is a staunch advocate for gun control. Fox News Digital reached out to her office for comment on the incident.
