The Ilhan Omar Case Just Got A Lot Uglier

Ilhan Omar was asked if she married her own brother. 

Her answer was — wait for it — “Not to my knowledge.”

I’m pretty sure the answer there should be “No.”

Unless it’s yes.

How do you marry your brother without your knowledge? Are we doing Oedipus Rex here? 

Omar is a habitual liar. If you look at her family history, it is pretty clear why that is and what she has done. 

There’s an ongoing investigation into her immigration status. We believe there are some documents that have emerged that shed new light on exactly what the federal government is investigating. 

Why is all of this important?

Because there are people in the United States who have taken advantage of the system. They’ve taken advantage of the system by engaging in fraud. They’ve taken advantage of the system by importing foreign ideologies into the United States, and then militarizing American self-hatred against the United States. 

Omar’s at the top of this list. 

It all ties together: lying to gain entry; lying to maintain status; lying to gain entry to Congress; lying in order to destroy the United States. 

That is what Ilhan Omar has always been about. This is a woman who wrote a letter to a judge trying to get a lesser prison sentence for a man trying to join ISIS. 

She says, “not to my knowledge,” because the evidence suggests she was very likely married to her brother to gain him immigration status.

But immigration fraud, or at least questions about immigration fraud, seems to run in her family. 

Ilhan Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, in either 1981 or 1982; we don’t actually know her real birthday. According to her page on the Minnesota House of Representatives website, the year was 1981. 

Apparently, her father was a high-ranking military colonel under the Marxist military dictatorship of Siad Barre, which runs counter to his refugee status under U.S. law. That’s because if you fled and you were a member of a dictatorship that engaged in human rights violations, we don’t give you refugee status, which may explain why her last name was Omar when she came to the United States.

In 1991, when she was either 9 or 10 — depending on which date we are using for her birth — she and her family relocated to Kenya during the Somali Civil War. In 1995, she and her family received refugee status and immigrated to the United States; first to Arlington, Virginia, and then to Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Omar may not have entered under her true lineage. Her father’s surname is Elmi, not Omar. Why would she use a name like Omar? 

According to Scott Johnson of Power Line, the allegation is that some members of her family went to the U.K. and used the name Elmi. The rest of the family that went to the United States used the name Omar to use that family’s refugee status to gain their own.

Here’s problem number one: Did she come here through her father and her parents, and when she came here, was her dad using an assumed name or a different family name? 

In 2000, Omar became a naturalized U.S. citizen through her father’s citizenship process. Allegedly, she was 17. If she was born in 1981 and was 18, she would not have been eligible for naturalization via her dad’s naturalization.

Now to her marital issues. So in 2002, she was in a religious union with Ahmed Hirsi. They didn’t have a civil marriage; thus, according to American civil law, they weren’t married.

According to religious law, they were. They had a couple of kids. In 2008, she underwent a Muslim separation from Ahmed Hirsi. The next year she had a civil marriage with Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in Minnesota. You may recall that her original name was likely Elmi. 

Now you may say, wait a second. You just said she married a dude named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. And now you’re also telling me that her last name was actually Elmi?

Correct. 

So Elmi filed a marriage-based petition to gain permanent U.S. residency. When federal immigration authorities asked for evidence that he should actually gain citizenship via his marriage, Elmi withdrew his petition. 

It looks as though they were trying to sneak one in. They were trying to get away with it. 

In 2012, while she was still in a civil marriage with Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who is very likely her brother, she reconciled with Ahmed Hirsi, and they had a third child. She legally divorced from Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2017.

That same year, she submitted an affidavit stating she had not contacted Elmi since 2011, but 2014 and 2015 social media interactions and contacts in London would render her affidavit perjury.

In 2012, Elmi posted a picture of himself holding his baby niece: this would be one day after Omar’s daughter was born. He captioned it, “Nieces fresh out of the vagina.” So that would be her registered husband under American law calling the baby his niece. 

In 2018, Omar was legally remarried to Ahmed Hirsi in Minnesota. And then she was elected to Congress. Shortly after taking office, she corrected her birth year to 1982 to backfill the fact that, allegedly, she’s been lying on all of her passports and immigration forms since she tried to gain citizenship illegally via her father.

If you’re wondering why she said, “Not to my knowledge,” it’s because, to her knowledge, she was likely married to her brother.

There are a bunch of different questions that are getting conflated: 1) Did she come over with her family legally in the first place? 2) Did she gain her citizenship legally because she was allegedly of age of majority at the time that she was claiming minor status to gain citizenship via her dad? 3) Did she marry her brother in order to try to gain citizenship status for her brother? 4) What sort of fraud was she engaging in when she was allegedly engaged in bigamous relationships, because she was legally married to one guy, but then she was religiously married to this other guy without divorcing the first guy legally? 

You might think that this is part and parcel of a person who hates the United States, is perfectly willing to abuse literally all of its systems for personal benefit and for familial benefit, and then turn around and undermine the United States.

All of which Ilhan Omar is. 

That is what she represents: a strain of American immigration that never should have been allowed in the country in the first place. 

Now she’s asking for donations. 

She apparently reported on her taxes that she was worth $30 million, then revised it down to less than $100,000. Which is it? 

She says now that she’s living paycheck to paycheck. 

She’s a victim, you see. She’s a victim of American society. 

This story is important for a couple of reasons. 

The first is the use of immigration in order to get people into the country who should not be here. The second is lying on behalf of a radical anti-American political perspective, which she also does. 

And we are seeing the consequences of this in America.
