Immigration fraud is a federal crime. Serious prison time. Hefty fines. Deportation. The government doesn’t mess around – unless, apparently, you happen to be a Democrat member of Congress with a protective media shield and 170 colleagues willing to run interference for you.
For years, Rep. Ilhan Omar has faced persistent allegations that her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was a fraudulent arrangement designed to get him a green card. She’s denied wrongdoing. Her allies have dismissed the accusations as racist smears. But a newly surfaced detail from Elmi himself just obliterated whatever was left of their defense.
From Breitbart News:
The man Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) wed in 2009 – who also appears to be her own brother – identifies as gay.
The man’s name is Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. He and Omar wed in 2009 and remained married until 2017. The evidence piling up that he is her brother is more alarming by the day. The evidence that the marriage was a sham to win him a green card is even more alarming.
So – does this finally prove Omar married her brother?
Let’s walk through it. Elmi, now a doctoral researcher at the University of Bristol in England, described himself as “a gay man of the East African diaspora” in an academic paper published this past August. His own words. In writing. For a university publication. Not exactly something you toss out casually.
Which raises the rather unavoidable question: why would a gay man enter into a heterosexual marriage with a woman who was simultaneously married to another man under Islamic law? Romance wasn’t the motivation here. Something else was.
The evidence keeps piling up
The New York Post reported that a friend of Omar’s former husband Ahmed Hirsi claimed Hirsi told him directly – Elmi was Omar’s brother from London. The legal marriage was arranged to secure immigration papers. Period.
Elmi lived with Omar for just two of their eight married years. Then he bolted back to England rather than provide documentation proving the union was legitimate. Within Minnesota’s Somali community, the whole arrangement was reportedly an open secret. Nobody was fooled.
And Omar’s own response when asked this month whether Elmi could be her brother? “Not to my knowledge.” That’s not a denial. That’s a dodge – and a lazy one at that.
Where’s the accountability?
DHS agents raided Omar’s D.C. home earlier this month. Federal investigators are actively examining possible immigration fraud. Good. It’s about time.
Yet 170 House Democrats have demanded the DOJ drop the entire investigation. Before it’s even finished. Remarkable. Imagine demanding a judge dismiss a case because you don’t like where the evidence points.
Meanwhile, the journalists at PowerLine who broke this story nearly a decade ago were branded racists and conspiracy theorists – by the very newsrooms that couldn’t be bothered to investigate it themselves. CNN didn’t touch it. The New York Times ignored it. Local Minnesota media looked the other way. Brave, all of them.
The circumstantial case against Omar is now staggering. Elmi’s own published words have demolished the last plausible argument that this was a genuine marriage. Whether he is biologically her brother remains unproven in a court of law. But the fraud question? That’s effectively settled.
One congresswoman gaming the system is bad enough. Every institution that spent a decade covering for her is worse.
Key Takeaways
- Omar’s ex-husband publicly identifies as gay, gutting any claim their marriage was legitimate.
- Multiple witnesses and mounting evidence suggest Elmi is Omar’s biological brother.
- Over 170 House Democrats demanded the DOJ kill its investigation before reaching conclusions.
- Legacy media buried this story for a decade and smeared the journalists who actually reported it.
