A member of the Somali community in Minneapolis who says they are a friend of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has gone on the record to claim that Omar married her brother to get him the papers he needed to go to school in the U.S.

“Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi,” The Daily Mail reported.
