Now, even the Minneapolis Star Tribune, a major newspaper in Minnesota, is questioning whether Omar illegally married her own brother for immigration benefits. A state probe of campaign finance violations showed that Rep. Ilhan Omar filed federal taxes in 2014 and 2015 with her current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, while legally married to but separated from Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, allegedly her own brother. New investigative documents released by a state agency have given fresh life to lingering questions about the marital history of Rep. Ilhan Omar and whether she once married a man — her biological brother — to skirt immigration laws.
Star Tribune New investigative documents released by a state agency have given fresh life to lingering questions about the marital history of Rep. Ilhan Omar and whether she once married a man — possibly her own brother — to skirt immigration laws.
Omar has denied the allegations in the past, dismissing them as “baseless rumors” first raised in an online Somali politics forum and championed by conservative bloggers during her 2016 campaign for the Minnesota House. But she said little then or since about Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the former husband who swept into her life in 2009 before a 2011 separation.
The questions surfaced again this month in a state probe of campaign finance violations showing that Omar filed federal taxes in 2014 and 2015 with her current husband, Ahmed Hirsi, while she was still legally married to but separated from Elmi.
The new documents also detail the Omar campaign’s efforts to keep the story of her marriage to Elmi out of the press, arguing that detailed coverage would legitimize the accusations and invade her privacy.
Since the recent findings of the campaign finance board that discovered Omar had improperly used campaign money to pay a lawyer to fix her tax filings, the Star Tribune searched public records — but could neither conclusively confirm nor rebut the allegation that he is Omar’s sibling.
Sent a list of questions and a request to talk to her siblings and father, Omar declined to do so. Hirsi did not reply to multiple calls, texts and e-mails. Social media posts indicate Elmi is in Africa. He did not respond to multiple e-mails.
In 2016, a writer on SomaliSpot.com published verified photos and Minnesota state records suggesting that Rep. Omar is a serial felon and fraudster. Since then, the additional evidence discovered to back these claims — and the absence of contradictory evidence — are almost as remarkable as Minnesota media’s refusal to lift a finger investigating her for two years.
DC Clothesline Immediately after being elected to her current seat in 2016, Omar faced allegations — soon backed by a remarkable amount of evidence — that she had married her own brother in 2009. (They officially divorced in December 2017.)
The motivation for the marriage [to her brother] remains unclear. However, the totality of the evidence points to possible immigration fraud and student loan fraud. As this implicates Rep. Omar in multiple state and federal felonies, I have contacted the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota to submit all other information uncovered during our investigation.
Back in August 2016, Scott Johnson of Powerline revealed that when Ilhan Omar married her brother Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009, she was still married to Ahmed Hirsi, whom she’d married in 2002 and with whom she had three children. Johnson wrote: “Inputting the name Ilhan Omar, I have confirmed both marriages as noted in the Somalispot post via the online Minnesota Official Marriage System….”
Now, David Steinberg of PJ Media has found “exclusive” new evidence — from official archived high school records and corroborating sources — that strongly supports the claim that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is Ilhan Omar’s brother.
According to official student enrollment records archived by St. Paul Public Schools and the state of Minnesota, an “Ahmed N. Elmi” was enrolled as a senior in the Class of 2003 at Arlington Senior High School in St. Paul, MN, from September 6, 2002, until June 10, 2003. He graduated and received a diploma.
Omar declined to make her tax and immigration records available for this report.
What is known is that Omar, at the age of 19, sought a legal marriage license with Hirsi in Minnesota. Though they had three children together, they would not legally marry until January, 2018, after she had been in the Minnesota Legislature for a year and had dissolved the marriage in 2017 with Elmi.
After reaching what Omar called “an impasse in our life together,” she and Hirsi split for a period in 2008. They had two children at the time.
In February 2009, public records show that Omar legally married Elmi, who she has identified as a “British citizen.” The relationship was brief. Omar said it ended in 2011, when she reconciled with Hirsi. While Omar said she and Elmi had divorced in 2011 “in our faith tradition,” they would not legally divorce until December, 2017 — a month before she got legally married to Hirsi.
In her 2017 divorce, Omar attested that she had no contact with Elmi after their 2011 separation. Conservative activists say photos and other social media posted by Omar and Elmi on Instagram and Facebook suggest Omar may not be telling the truth.
One image featured on AlphaNewsMN depicts an Instagram photo purportedly posted by Elmi on June 12, 2012, the day after Omar gave birth to her third child. It shows a close-up picture of Elmi holding a newborn child the website says is Omar’s, based on accompanying text that ostensibly refers to the baby girl as “nieces.” That and other Instagram photos have since been removed.
Siblings who petition for a U.S. visa for a noncitizen sibling have typically had to wait more than a dozen years to obtain the document, according to the U.S. State Department. Applications for a spouse carry a minimal waiting period, but Minnetonka-based immigration lawyer Steven Thal said examples of siblings fraudulently marrying to gain immigration benefits are nearly unheard of compared to cases of strangers marrying to get green cards.
Omar’s relatives could also clear the air, but they have remained silent about her marriage to Elmi. She declined to make her family available for this story.
What’s clear from the recently released documents of the campaign finance board is that the young upstart’s campaign was unprepared for any potential blowback from the questions surrounding Omar’s marriage to Elmi, first reported in 2016 on Somalispot.com, an online public affairs forum.
Next News Network’s Gary Franchi has this new report, showing a Rebel Media reporter confronting Omar about the ongoing allegations.
Glenn Beck took an in-depth look at the Ilhan Omar immigration/marriage fraud allegations and the media’s reluctance to over it:
Ilhan goes off on a Christian woman testifying to Congress about her work, teaching kids, helping kids, love, etc. Ilhan says it’s not “love” that helped the Christian woman succeed; but we need “radcal love” to provide “basic rights for humans. That’s the godly thing to do . . . . we can’t ‘pray’ our problems away.” She’s jealous of someone who “gets the strap for her bootstraps.” Omar goes OFF. She looks like a little witch; & souns like a shrew. Filthy pig.

So she slept with him for how many years? So gross. This women is a dog. Isn’t this a crime? Shouldn’t she have to step down from her seat?
She should, but no one is ordering her to do so.
Both Omar siblings have that wild eyed, crazy look. Seeing the bro is back in Africa, it was maybe all for nothing. Regardless, this fraud should result in anullment of her citizenship, thus out of Congress, out of the US!
This Omar is getting major free exposure. She became famous, bad or god reputation!
She does not care. She is Muslim, that means she has no shame. She is here for one reason, which is promote the satanic Islam with ALL means. AND we fall in the trap. I would ignore her as NO BODY, because she is, like her supporter Obama zeft.
there is also the multiple birth dates 1981 or 82 what is she hiding by changing birth years
It looks like the woman with the black full hijab is making duck lips in the photo with the arrows pointing at the brother.
Meanwhile, all over the world, Islam erased the histories of the countries it invades. Now, “a Minnesota city council unanimously dropped the Pledge of Allegiance from its meetings over fears it’s racist and could hurt the feelings of people afraid of Donald Trump.
The move by St. Louis Park officials, in Rep. Ilhan Omar’s congressional district, is part of the city’s ‘racial equality initiative.'”

Note that when Omar is questioned she has a HUGE SMILE on her face. That’s because Omar is supremely confident that as a Muslim, she is ALLOWED to commit many crimes and will not be PUNISHED.
Traitor Omar’s allies are powerful and in high places of power.
Not for long, vote all out Republican so we can take down this trash. If the politicians won’t do it we will have to. I’m ready.
Their “faith tradition” of sharia terrorism allows any and all manner of fraud upon the mushrikoon infidels.
Off topic.
Russia’s Prime Minister Putin has been wickedly and unjustly condemned and demonized by British and other Western leaders.
Unlike EVIL Western leaders, Putin strongly believes in protecting NON Muslim women and children from CRUEL, BARBARIC Muslim rapist fiends.
Putin would NEVER allow Muslims to gang rape, torture and force into prostitution and SEX SLAVERY non Muslim Russian girls as RABID HATERS of NON Muslim CHILDREN, Traitor UK PM May and other ruthless British leaders have.

Putin says western Liberalism means migrants can ‘kill and rape with impunity’
Vladimir Putin slammed Western attitudes to gay rights, immigration and multiculturalism as has boasted that liberalism in Europe was “obsolete”.
The Russian leader said Europe prioritised migrants’ rights so much it mean they could “kill, plunder and rape with impunity” in attack on Western Liberalism which he said had “outlived its purpose”.
In a wide-ranging interview the bullish Russian premier hit out at the decision to allow millions of migrants into the EU.
Mr Putin spoke to the Financial Times as the G20 summit in Osaka got underway…….
I like Putin; & the fact that the Left is so in hate with him makes me like him even more.
