Evidence Found of Marriage to Her Brother: Ilhan Omar in Trouble

According to a report in the US, a previous federal investigation allegedly found evidence that Ilhan Omar married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, in 2009, with the aim of arranging immigration documents for him. A source close to Elmi Hirsi, Omar's ex-husband, said that Hirsi explained that the marriage to Elmi was purely legal, while his marriage to Omar was an Islamic religious one. The article also raises ambiguity regarding Omar's date of birth, which may affect her eligibility for US citizenship. The Trump administration has filed nearly two hundred denaturalization cases since January 2025. The article relies primarily on hearsay and does not include Omar's response.
