Kim Aris says ‘hearing her voice again means more than words can express’ amid loosening of detention restrictions
The son of Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi has been allowed to speak to the detained former democratic leader for the first time in more than five years.
“Today, I was finally able to speak with my mother, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, after more than five years. Hearing her voice again means more than words can express,” Kim Aris said in a post on Facebook on Thursday.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told MS NOW Wednesday night that she believes the raid on her home was to "intimidate and scare people" away from voting in the midterm elections.
Omar's home in Washington, D.C., was raided by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) last Monday in connection to an investigation into potential immigration fraud. Authorities are probing whether Omar or her father lied on paperwork that helped her gain citizenship. Border czar Tom Homan has said that if the allegations are proven, Omar could be denaturalized.
Omar, who has largely avoided public scrutiny since the raid, gave her first interview on the subject on "All In with Chris Hayes" and suggested that the decision to investigate her was a last-ditch effort by President Donald Trump to appeal to right-wing influencers.
"I think they were like starting to lose faith that these were empty promises, and they had to do something, I believe, to say, 'Hey, look, we raided her house. You know, now you can feel comfortable that we are doing something,'" Omar said. "I think ... whether it’s Metro Surge, whether it is the voter rolls that they’re looking at, whether it’s the door knocks that you just spoke of, that is all to show these people that they’re doing something and to save face."
"Because they made this huge promise that there was somehow this massive ... sort of undocumented people that were voting in American elections and that there is something that they need to go and fix."
"And so they, you know, they’re going to try to gin up this sort of frenzy," she added. "And, I think ultimately their goal is to intimidate and scare people from wanting to participate and vote."
Despite that, Omar insisted that the raid had likely inspired people to vote in spite of the president.
"As I was driving up here today, we were getting calls that people, you know, are just like, there’s a massive line at early voting sites. And a lot of our staff that are, you know, helping people drive to go vote are saying, you know, ‘We don’t have the capacity to keep up with the requests that we’re getting of people who need assistance to get to the early voting site.’ I think it’s doing the opposite," Omar said.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
Prior to Tuesday night via a campaign video, Omar had not been seen publicly since before the raid on her home, which was first reported by Fox News Digital last week. Her husband, Tim Mynett, has been seen outside the residence walking their dog.
Additionally, Fox News Digital has spotted a campaign aide bringing in food and both of her daughters arriving at the home two days apart.
Trump warned Tuesday from the Oval Office that Omar could be jailed if the allegations against her are true.
"Well, she could be. She could also go to jail," Trump said. "You know, they keep talking about deportation. No, she could go to jail."

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Rep. Ilhan Omar could face jail in addition to deportation, calling the Minnesota Democrat "a disgrace to our country" as she faces a federal investigation into allegations involving her citizenship.
Trump made the remarks inside the Oval Office during his fraud incentive program announcement, responding to FOX Business correspondent Edward Lawrence’s question about whether a problem with Omar’s age could lead to her deportation.
"Well, she could be. She could also go to jail," Trump said. "You know, they keep talking about deportation. No, she could go to jail."
His comments come after border czar Tom Homan said Omar could lose her citizenship and be deported if investigators prove immigration fraud. Federal agents searched her Washington, D.C., home Oct. 12, seizing her cellphone and other possessions.
The investigation centers on allegations that Omar or her father misrepresented her birth year on immigration paperwork. The disputed timeline concerns whether she was a minor when her father became a U.S. citizen in 2000 and qualified for citizenship through him, or was already 18 and needed to apply separately.
Omar has denied wrongdoing. She and other Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., have denounced the investigation as political persecution targeting a prominent Trump critic ahead of the midterm elections.
Speaking Saturday on "The Big Weekend Show," Homan said the outcome would depend on the evidence.
"Of course, if you lie during the naturalization process, there is a process to denaturalize somebody. We’ve done it before," Homan said. "And certainly, if the evidence points that way, that could happen."
Homan said Omar would be held to the same standards as anyone else, while declining to discuss the specifics of investigators’ findings.
"I’m not going to get ahead of the bureau or HSI, but I’ve been told they have a strong case, and we’ll let the evidence lead where it leads," he said.
During Tuesday’s exchange, Trump also attacked Omar’s criticism of the United States, questioning why she sought to tell Americans how to run the country after coming from Somalia.
"Then she comes over here, and she says that she wants to tell us how to run America," Trump said. "She wants to tell us how to run the United States of America."
He also criticized her assertions of constitutional rights and called her election to Congress "amazing."
Federal investigators are hoping to use DNA collected from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to prove that she committed immigration fraud, a new report suggests.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. has not been seen in public since a pre-dawn raid of her Washington, D.C. residence last week — but Fox News Digital spotted her daughters descending on the home in recent days.
Isra Hirsi pulled black sedan into the driveway of the home under the cover of darkness Saturday night and stepped out of the vehicle carrying a bag with both hands. She walked directly into the front door of the same home that was swarmed by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents a week prior.
"What's your problem?" Hirsi said to Fox News Digital after getting out of her car.
Just two days later, a young teenage girl believed to be Omar's second daughter also was seen entering the home with a woman that appeared to be her caretaker.
The daughters arrived on the scene roughly a week after the house was raided by federal agents. Omar also has a son who is the only immediate family member of Omar's that Fox News Digital has not seen arrive at their home in D.C., since the federal search where her phone and passport were reportedly seized.
The same night Omar's eldest daughter was captured entering the home, U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) — whose jurisdiction is typically limited to U.S. Capitol building and grounds, but extends to protecting members of Congress and their families — showed up on the congresswoman's street.
Omar shares her three children with Ahmed Hirsi, who she ceremonially married in 2002 and legally married in 2018. During the time before her legal marriage to Hirsi, she was legally married to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who is allegedly her brother, from 2009 until 2017 — during which time Omar's youngest daughter was born. She married political consultant Tim Mynett in 2020.
Throughout the week after the raid, Mynett has emerged from the home intermittently, mostly to walk the family’s Golden Labrador Retriever dog, Teddy. He has defended his wife to Fox News Digital, saying he has "no concerns" about the investigation.
He also snapped when asked about unsubstantiated rumors that the congresswoman had fled the country. "You guys are annoying the hell out of the neighbors around here, man," said Mynett.
Omar's eldest daughter, Isra Hirsi, is controversial in her own right.
The 23-year-old activist and graduate of Barnard College — a Columbia University affiliate — was arrested at Columbia and later suspended from the school in 2024 after participating in the school’s now-infamous anti-Israel tent encampment, which lasted for two weeks until it was dispersed by NYPD.
She also co-founded the U.S. Climate Strike in 2019, part of a global movement that organized student walkouts of class as they demanded the passage of the far-left Green New Deal and a switch to 100% renewable energy.
Despite its name, the group didn’t stop at advocating for "green" energy policies. It also demanded universal healthcare, student debt relief, stronger union organization and advocated for giving land back to Native Americans.
Hirsi has also railed against capitalism publicly on social media.
Omar's sister, Sahra Noor, did not show up for a scheduled stop on her book tour in Minnesota last week due to a "family emergency," according to the book store hosting the event.
Omar’s home was raided by HSI, the chief investigatory body of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), at around 6:00 a.m., last Monday.
Sources confirmed to Fox News Digital that the agency executed a search warrant in relation to an immigration fraud probe. Specifically, investigators are probing whether the congresswoman and/or her father falsified information when filling out her citizenship paperwork.
Border Czar Tom Homan revealed over the weekend that if the allegations are proven, they could lead to Omar’s denaturalization.
The New York Times reported that about a dozen people, including Omar’s relatives, have been subpoenaed in the case.
Omar has not responded to repeated requests for comment from Fox News Digital, but she has reacted publicly to the raid on social media.
"This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies," she said in a statement posted to X hours after the raid. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies."
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital last Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance said the investigation is not politically motivated.
"We don't want to be like the Biden administration. We never want to be like that — where they would allow the law to go after their political opponents," he said.
"We really want to let the law, the facts drive this," he continued. "And if justice requires something else be done, then, of course, we'll take a step when we have to."
El exvicepresidente de la Generalitat, Oriol Junqueras, ha celebrado que el Tribunal Supremo ha aplicado la amnistía y ha asegurado que la decisión pone de manifiesto que “nunca tendría que haber existido una represión absolutamente injusta”. El líder republicano ha sostenido que, si se actuó de esa manera, fue porque “nos han tenido y nos tienen mucho miedo”. La ministra portavoz del Gobierno, Elma Saiz, se ha pronunciado sobre la decisión del Tribunal Supremo de aplicar la ley de amnistía a los condenados por el procés, entre los que se encuentran el exvicepresidente catalán Oriol Junqueras y el exconsejero Raül Romeva. “La ley de amnistía es plenamente constitucional y no podemos sino celebrar su aplicación en su totalidad”, ha afirmado Saiz. Además, el Consejo de Ministros ha aprobado un paquete de medidas de carácter social. Entre ellas figura una inversión de 45 millones de euros para crear 2.000 nuevas plazas en residencias universitarias de Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Andalucía, Castilla y León, la Comunidad Valenciana y Cataluña, con el objetivo de impulsar alojamientos asequibles para estudiantes. Por otro lado, el líder del PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, ha confirmado que el PP y Vox están negociando para encontrar una fórmula en la que los ultras no concurran a la Cámara alta el 29-N, con la vista en lograr una mayoría más holgada frente a la coalición de PSOE y Frente Amplio. “Sería un error facilitar al sanchismo el control”, ha explicado en una entrevista en Cadena Cope.
