Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed that federal agents executed multiple search warrants on the same day they searched Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar’s Washington residence. In a podcast interview, Mullin described the investigation as a "strong case" and indicated that a judge authorized the enforcement action.

PitchBook‑NVCA data shows AI startups captured eighty‑two point seven percent of five‑one‑five point eight billion dollars in U.S. venture deal value through the third quarter of twenty‑six.
