A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama dismissed a lawsuit by the Trump administration seeking a delay in certifying the Senate election if a Democrat scheme to confuse voters costs incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) the victory. 
Judge Sharon Gleason <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/28861752-us-v-alaska-2026-11091-order-dismissing-action/">dismissed</a> a suit on Sunday from the Justice Department that argued that the Alaska Senate election should not be certified if it could be determined voters who meant to cast their ballots for the incumbent went for the so-called independent candidate named Dan J. Sullivan, dubbed &#8220;Decoy Dan&#8221; by Republicans. 
Gleason argued that the Justice Department did not propose a plan for determining which voters meant to support the incumbent, not the second Sullivan. 
“The United States provides no workable plan as to how it proposes to segregate ballots cast for Daniel J. Sullivan on Election Day and then conduct a court-ordered unspecified &#8216;investigation&#8217; of those ballots in a manner that would preserve voter secrecy,” she wrote. 
“Clearly, if this Court were to order that certain ballots will be segregated and subject to a future and as yet unspecified investigation by law enforcement, it would likely result in voter ‘confusion and consequent incentive to remain away from the polls.’ Such late-breaking changes to the election rules are strongly disfavored,” she added.

A report from The New York Times revealed last week that Democrat operatives, including staff of Democrat candidate Mary Peltola, were involved in an effort to recruit the second Sullivan. The purported effort would siphon away voters from the incumbent in Alaska’s convoluted ranked-choice voting system. 
The Trump administration promised to continue fighting and already filed an appeal. 
“Alaskan voters deserve a fair election, not to be misled in an attempt to rig outcomes,&#8221; said Justice Department spokeswoman Kiersten Pels.
The original suit from the Justice Department argued that the integrity of the election would be violated if voters are drawn away from Sullivan by &#8220;Decoy Dan.&#8221; 
“Should Alaska certify any electoral results tainted by the inclusion on the ballot of Daniel J. Sullivan — whose candidacy, Defendant Beecher found, is ‘for the purpose of confusing or misleading voters and compromising the fairness of the ballot’  — the State and its officers will fail in its obligation to protect the integrity of its election,” the suit said. “The United States accordingly brings this lawsuit to protect the integrity of the 2026 Senate election in Alaska.”
Peltola has denied any knowledge of the efforts to recruit Dan J. Sullivan to run for office. 
“I just want to clear the air,” she said last week. “I knew nothing about any other candidate on the ballot except for me and the incumbent. That is all I have ever known about. I am not interested in tricking voters.”

A private jet slammed into the ground in a massive fireball near a mobile home park in South Florida on Sunday, with all nine people onboard killed in the crash.
The $2 million Learjet 60 also hit trees and power lines as it went down around 1:00 p.m. ET, some people nearby described the crash as sounding &#8220;like a missile,&#8221; The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/11/01/us-news/2m-learjet-60-crashes-near-palm-beach-florida/">reported</a>. The jet crashed in Greenacres, Palm Beach County, around eight miles southwest of President Donald Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago estate.
Nine people were aboard the Learjet that was destined for the Bahamas after taking off from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/palm-beach-plane-crash-ffdee609e7916ff7fcd178d2b8e69b39">Associated Press</a>. It remains unclear how the jet crashed or if anyone on the ground was killed or injured.
Air traffic control audio released Sunday evening paints a terrifying picture of the final moments aboard the private jet. The recording captures the crew frantically warning controllers that the aircraft was rapidly losing control. The final transmission was chilling: “Holy f*ck, we’re out of time!” 
 Moments earlier, the pilot had reported moderate turbulence and “light, clear ice that is manageable.” But the situation quickly deteriorated, with a crew member issuing a mayday call and reporting a descent of 20,000 feet per minute.
“Declaring emergency! We’re descending 20,000 feet per minute! … We’re going to crash into the ground,” she said, before screaming. 
 As the aircraft plunged toward the ground, an air traffic controller could be heard desperately trying to reassure the crew: “I’m here with you, talk to me.” After the crew member said they were &#8220;out of time,&#8221; the controller made one final attempt, asking, “How do you hear?” There was no response.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that everyone on the jet was killed and said the Federal Aviation Administration &#8220;is sending a team to the scene to support the @NTSB&#8217;s investigation.
&#8220;Please join me in praying for the families and loved ones of those we lost — @FAANews &amp; @USDOT are closely monitoring this crash and will share updates as we learn more,&#8221; Duffy said.
The jet appeared to crash in a busy road, where it left a large crater. A camera from a vehicle driving on the road shows the jet hitting the ground nose-first. The jet descended 35,000 feet in just 60 seconds.
A pilot who lives in South Florida and heard the crash told The Daily Wire that it appears either the jet malfunctioned, causing the pilot to lose control or there was a loss of cabin pressure, leading to the pilot becoming incapacitated.

President Donald Trump praised Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) for her &#8220;bravery&#8221; after the congresswoman pulled her support from fellow Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in the race for the open Senate seat in Michigan.
&#8220;Wow, this is BIG!&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117542639036452664">wrote</a> Sunday afternoon. &#8220;Congresswoman Haley Stevens, a Highly Respected Democrat, who narrowly lost in the Primary to Abdul Mohamed El-Sayed, and who has been breathlessly wined and dined by the Dumocrats to help in their Michigan Campaign for the United States Senate against Mike Rogers, has just ENDORSED Mike Rogers for Senate!&#8221;
&#8220;Her following is huge, and the level of respect from the People of Michigan, especially our African American and Jewish populations, is virtually unparalleled,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;Haley said what few people are willing to say. She showed great and almost unprecedented loyalty to the Great People of Michigan with what she did. It’s a thing called bravery, and few people have it like just displayed by Congresswoman Haley Stevens!&#8221;
Stevens&#8217; shock endorsement comes just two days before voters decide who will be the next U.S. senator from Michigan, a state that will play a vital role in determining which party controls the upper chamber for the second half of Trump&#8217;s term. Stevens narrowly lost the Democrat primary against El-Sayed in August and initially endorsed her Democrat challenger in the general election before pulling that endorsement and backing Rogers on Sunday.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/election-hub?utm_campaign=midterms&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE MIDTERM HUB</a>
“Hey Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S., Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,” Stevens began. “And he’s right. And that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign. I do not stand with Hasan Piker.”
The Democrat congresswoman flipped her endorsement to Rogers after expressing disgust with El-Sayed’s ties to America-hating communist streamer Hasan Piker. She also blasted El-Sayed after he ran a campaign ad featuring commentator Tucker Carlson.
Democrats across the country expressed outrage after Stevens flipped her endorsement.
“This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. “Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors.”
The Michigan Democrat Party said that Stevens&#8217; decision seeks to &#8220;divide our party and undermine our momentum.&#8221; Members of Stevens’ staff also resigned en masse after she backed Rogers, with her former Chief of Staff Justin German saying her staff was &#8220;shocked and heartbroken.&#8221;
On Sunday afternoon, El-Sayed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/el-sayed-begs-reporters-not-to-ask-about-haley-stevens-shock-endorsement-of-mike-rogers?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=El-Sayed+Begs+Reporters+Not+To+Ask+About+Haley+Stevens%E2%80%99+Shock+Endorsement+Of+Mike+Rogers">begged</a> reporters to ask about “issues the people in my state are facing” and not about Stevens&#8217; endorsement of Rogers.
“If you want to ask me questions about some intrigue and about two folks who aren’t here right now,” he said, speaking of Stevens and Rogers. “I’m gonna be less interested in answering them. Just putting it out there.”

Michigan Democrat Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed urged reporters to focus their questions on anything other than his fellow Democrat Haley Stevens issuing a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/haley-stevens-was-supposed-to-campaign-with-el-sayed-where-she-showed-up-speaks-volumes">surprise endorsement</a> of Republican nominee Mike Rogers on Sunday, just two days before voters go to the polls.
El-Sayed spoke to reporters outside a church Sunday afternoon alongside Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and a group of black supporters as the leftist Muslim attempts to make last-minute inroads with Detroit&#8217;s large black voting bloc before the election. Before taking questions, El-Sayed begged reporters to ask about &#8220;issues the people in my state are facing&#8221; and not about Stevens, who released a video statement earlier on Sunday endorsing Rogers and ripping El-Sayed&#8217;s &#8220;hate.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m not in the business of driving clicks for you,&#8221; El-Sayed said. &#8220;I&#8217;m in the business of trying to solve problems for people in my state, so if you want to ask questions about the issues that the people in my state are facing, I am happy to answer them.&#8221;
&#8220;If you want to ask me questions about some intrigue and about two folks who aren&#8217;t here right now,&#8221; he added, speaking of Stevens and Rogers. &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna be less interested in answering them. Just putting it out there.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/election-hub?utm_campaign=midterms&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE MIDTERM HUB</a>
El-Sayed then took his first question from leftist commentator Don Lemon, who floated a softball question for the Democrat, asking, &#8220;Why is this day so important to you?&#8221; When another reporter asked El-Sayed about Stevens&#8217; endorsement, he shot back, saying it doesn&#8217;t matter and that he &#8220;doesn&#8217;t think about Haley Stevens.&#8221;
“I’m a lot more focused on the 9,999,998 [Michiganders] that are not the ones you guys are talking about,&#8221; he added.
Stevens, who narrowly lost the Democrat primary to El-Sayed in August, issued her shocking endorsement of Rogers on Sunday after initially backing El-Sayed in the general election. The Democrat congresswoman flipped her endorsement to Rogers after expressing disgust with El-Sayed&#8217;s ties to America-hating communist streamer Hasan Piker. She also blasted El-Sayed after he ran a campaign ad featuring commentator Tucker Carlson.
Stevens had planned to campaign with El-Sayed but said on Sunday that El-Sayed &#8220;made very clear that I was not welcome in his campaign, that he didn’t need me there.&#8221;
&#8220;My vote for Senate is going to be with Mike Rogers,&#8221; Stevens added. &#8220;We have to stand with country, we can’t stand with hate, we can&#8217;t stand with Hasan Piker&#8230; I stood with my party and I was booed off the stage.&#8221;
Stevens has also expressed concern that El-Sayed has failed to reach out to black voters. On Sunday, El-Sayed appeared with Rep. Clyburn, whom Democrats often rely on to gin up support for the party&#8217;s candidates ahead of important elections. El-Sayed struggled in heavily black counties in the primary election against Stevens.

El-Sayed Begs Reporters Not To Ask About Haley Stevens’ Shock Endorsement Of Mike Rogers

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/haley-stevens-was-supposed-to-campaign-with-el-sayed-where-she-showed-up-speaks-volumes">crossed party lines</a> on Sunday to endorse former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) for Michigan&#8217;s open U.S. Senate seat, and a number on the Left have already made it clear that they are not okay.
&#8220;Abdul [El-Sayed] made very clear that I was not welcome in his campaign, that he didn’t need me there, that he didn’t want me there. &#8230; My vote for Senate is going to be with Mike Rogers,&#8221; Stevens said. &#8220;We have to stand with country, we can’t stand with hate, we can&#8217;t stand with Hasan Piker&#8230; I stood with my party and I was booed off the stage.&#8221;
Stevens has expressed disgust with El-Sayed&#8217;s close ties to America-hating communist streamer Hasan Piker and criticized a recent ad released by El-Sayed that features commentator Tucker Carlson.
&#8220;This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens,&#8221; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. &#8220;Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors.&#8221;
Leftist Mehdi Hasan <a href="https://x.com/mehdirhasan/status/2116959181412630940">took to X</a> after Stevens&#8217; endorsement to call her a &#8220;traitor&#8221; to the party, claiming that anyone who&#8217;d supported her in the past should re-evaluate everything.

&#8220;She’s clearly a disturbed, deranged, dishonest woman (less than 48 hours ago she was swearing to the NYT she was backing Abdul) but the bigger question to ask is: how on earth did the Dem establishment put her forward as their candidate? A complete traitor to their party and now an enabler of Trump? There needs to be a lot of soul-searching among centrist former Stevens supporters. Schumer needs to say something for a start!&#8221; he claimed.
Members of Stevens&#8217; own staff resigned en masse, and her former Chief of Staff Justin German released a statement on their behalf swearing loyalty to the Democrat nominee — Abdul El-Sayed — and saying that they were &#8220;heartbroken&#8221; by her decision.

Stevens lost to El-Sayed in Michigan&#8217;s Democrat Senate primary, and initially suggested she would back the leftist candidate in the general election. In the last several weeks, however, Stevens has voiced growing concern over El-Sayed — in particular because of an ad that blamed the American affordability crisis on U.S. funding for Israel.
The ad in question, which was initially made for The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur&#8217;s ill-fated presidential run in 2024, claimed that if American families could not afford necessities, it was because taxpayer dollars were being used to pay for Israel to wage war in Gaza.
Stevens <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-on-dem-violence-el-sayeds-defeated-primary-opponent-puts-new-anti-israel-ad-on-blast">ripped the ad last week</a>.
&#8220;This type of fearmongering about Israel is wrong. It is not a winning strategy for any state. It does nothing to help Michigan Democrats win up and down the ballot in eight days,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Do we need to lower costs by building more homes, securing people’s health care, and creating a fairer federal tax code? Yes, we do!! How we do so is not by blaming the high costs of our goods on the only Jewish homeland in the world. I want to see Democrats succeed at every level, and that means keeping our focus on lowering costs for Michigan families and reining in this out-of-control President.&#8221;
Just days after the ad dropped, Stevens — who has long described herself as a non-Jewish Zionist — was asked on CNN whether she&#8217;d still support El-Sayed in the general election.
All she would confirm to &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; host Dana Bash was that she was &#8220;still on the [Democrat] team.&#8221;

Khanna, speaking to &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; anchor Shannon Bream, said that he would vote to stop all funding for further military action in the ongoing war with Iran — even as American assets and personnel remain in the region.
The conversation began with a question from Bream about an ad — created by Rebellion PAC — that promoted Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and essentially blamed the increased cost of living in the United States on funding sent to Israel. Bream asked whether Khanna would condemn the ad, and he stopped short of doing so — instead, he said he and El-Sayed had both &#8220;disagreed&#8221; with the ad.

Khanna changed the subject when Bream pointed out that disagreement and condemnation are not the same.
Claiming that high gas prices were solely the result of the Iran war, Khanna asserted that those gas prices would come down immediately if Democrats were given control of Congress — because he said that &#8220;on day one&#8221; they would stop all funding for the Iran War.
&#8220;Let me ask you about the plan to do that,&#8221; Bream pushed back. &#8220;You say &#8216;day one,&#8217; does that mean defunding operations — would you defund U.S. military operations while we have assets in that region?&#8221;
&#8220;I would stop the funding — the House and the Senate should stop the funding for any further actions in the Iran War,&#8221; he insisted. &#8220;That&#8217;s what we did to stop the Vietnam War, and we need to stop this war in Iran. And by the way, the president can&#8217;t veto that. The House and the Senate have the power on the appropriations bills.&#8221;
Khanna did not address the fact that cutting off any additional funding while American personnel and assets are still engaged in operations in harm&#8217;s way would likely put them at much greater risk before it brought hostilities to an end.

President Donald Trump issued a statement on Saturday recognizing Reformation Day and its impact on religious liberty and the foundation of the United States.
The White House issued a lengthy statement to commemorate the day in 1517 when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the All Saints&#8217; Church (Castle Church) in Wittenberg, Germany — and noted the impact that the Protestant Reformation he began had on those seeking a place where they could live and worship freely.
&#8220;From the earliest days of our Republic, prayer and faith in Almighty God have stood as the foundation of our strength, the source of our unity, and the fount of our greatness,&#8221; the president wrote. &#8220;This Reformation Day, I send my best wishes to the countless Christians across our country commemorating the Protestant Reformation and its enduring message of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.&#8221;
Trump went on to share how Luther&#8217;s actions in 1517 — and his efforts to put the Scriptures in the hands of the people — had ultimately led to the first New Testaments printed in English.
&#8220;Five hundred years ago, William Tyndale — inspired by the work of Martin Luther — advanced the Protestant Reformation’s devotion to Holy Scripture through the publication of the first New Testament printed in English, shaping the language of the Bibles that would fortify the faith and resolve of America’s founding generation,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;The Sacred Scriptures helped form the religious convictions that formed our young Nation’s founding ideals of God-given rights and individual liberty, a spiritual inheritance we honor as we continue to reflect on 250 glorious years of American Independence.&#8221;
&#8220;The Bible remains a cornerstone of our Nation’s character and upholds our steadfast devotion to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Guided by an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, my Administration is working to restore the moral and religious foundations that have sustained our Republic for generations. As President, I will always support citizens of faith and defend their place in the public square, honoring the enduring role of our churches in strengthening families, serving communities, and preserving the core values that have anchored us across the centuries. As Christians across our country unite in faith and fellowship this Reformation Day, I send my heartfelt prayers for a meaningful celebration and encourage each of you to draw renewed strength from God’s Word as we carry forward the blessings of faith and freedom throughout our beloved Nation.&#8221;
Of course, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump also celebrated Halloween — and shared a video of the day&#8217;s festivities as children came to trick-or-treat at the White House.

A shooting at a California Spirit Halloween store left one woman dead and several others injured on Friday evening.
Police in Fairfield, California, said that the shooting took place just before 8:30 pm local time inside the Spirit Halloween store at Solano Town Center, according to a local ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.com/US/1-dead-6-injured-shooting-california-halloween-store/story?id=137730138&amp;cid=social_twitter_abcn">report</a>. They also stated that they believe that the suspect was specifically targeting someone in that store.
&#8220;Based on preliminary information obtained during the investigation, the shooting is believed to have stemmed from a targeted incident involving one suspect inside the Spirit Halloween store,&#8221; a police department statement confirmed.
One women, identified as 31-year-old Constance Hages, died at the scene — and six others were treated for gunshot wounds. Three of the victims — a 16-year-old male, a 19-year-old male, and a 32-year-old male — were taken to the hospital in critical condition. A 23-year-old male is also still hospitalized but his condition is listed as stable.
The last two victims were treated at the hospital and then released — two more males, aged 19 and 43.
Fairfield Chief of Police Dan Marshall addressed the public in a press conference on Friday night, asking anyone who knew anything about the shooting to please contact the department.
&#8220;We encourage anyone in the community with information to contact the Fairfield Police Department,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I know the mall has cameras, so hopefully we&#8217;ll get some of that footage.&#8221;
Family members informed police that Hages was pregnant at the time of her death.
&#8220;Detectives continue to actively investigate this case, reviewing video footage and other evidence to identify the individual responsible for this heinous act of violence,&#8221; police said on Saturday, and although they stated their belief that the shooting had been &#8220;targeted,&#8221; they have not yet given any indication as to who the target may have been. &#8220;Our department extends its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the victim who died from their injuries. We also extend our thoughts to the other victims who were injured during this shooting.&#8221;
The FBI&#8217;s Sacramento field office, according to a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/31/us/shooting-spirit-halloween-store-california?Date=20261031&amp;Profile=CNN&amp;utm_content=1793447881&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">report</a>, has offered resources to aid the Fairfield Police in their investigation.
&#8220;This is still a very active crime scene. Detectives are speaking with witnesses and diligently working to identify the suspect responsible for this horrific shooting,&#8221; Fairfield Police added.

That shooting reportedly stemmed from a disagreement between two individuals and local police have already arrested a suspect in that case.

Thousands of rioters swarmed the streets of Paris again on Saturday, launching Molotov cocktails at police officers — while protesters in Lyon burned American and Israeli flags.
According to a report from French newspaper <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2026/10/31/france-braces-for-third-saturday-of-protests-as-interior-minister-warns-of-street-violence-on-halloween_6767950_7.html">Le Monde</a>, some 320,000 protesters gathered on the outskirts of Paris for a march that was, at the outset, relatively peaceful. Some of the protesters wore Halloween costumes as they marched — and after several weeks of unrest, police were out in force to make sure that things stayed under control.

As protesters reached the end of the march, however, police informed them that they needed to disperse — and they responded by hurling projectiles at the officers. Some of the protesters — who were dressed in all black and wearing masks — used hammers to pry paving stones from the road and threw them at police, while others threw Molotov cocktails. Several police officers were reportedly injured during the clashes.

France&#8217;s Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez had issued a warning ahead of Saturday&#8217;s demonstrations, prompting many cities to keep protesters away from city centers and impose curfews. Authorities said that even after protesters attempted to breach security and get into the city centers, they were able to stop them and thus prevent looting in Bordeaux, Lille, Marseille and Lyon. Security forces in Toulouse used water cannons to control the rioters.
&#8220;We are fully prepared for those looking for confrontation tonight,&#8221; Nuñez warned the protesters, and he announced that the officer whose clothing had caught fire when the Molotov cocktail exploded had only suffered minor injuries and was expected to recover. Nuñez also warned those looking to hit the streets after dark that masks would not be permitted.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says the case against Rep. Ilhan Nur Said Elmi (D-MN) is “<a href="https://x.com/wordsdematthew/status/2116535723918606475?a=dHDYTYmHz9zax_Tood0&amp;s=20">large</a>” and involves multiple people, pushing back on claims that the Trump administration is targeting the Democrat congresswoman for political reasons.
“This is a large case that we have presented to the DOJ,” Mullin said in an interview with <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2116220917118308714?a=eKdOcVmfD1HdYdkpga0&amp;s=20">Fox News</a>. “We’re enforcing our nation’s laws, and we’re going to do that. We’re not weaponizing. We’re not using political theater on this,” Mullin said, adding that investigators will enforce the law regardless of politics.
“And if Congress doesn&#8217;t like those laws, they can change it, and we&#8217;ll also enforce those laws. But if somebody committed a crime, we don&#8217;t look at that any different. I don&#8217;t care where you&#8217;re seated. I don&#8217;t care how you&#8217;re registered to vote. I don&#8217;t care what your job title is. We use it equally,” he insisted. 
His comments come after <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/us/immigration-fraud-claims-ilhan-omar.html">The New York Times</a> reported that federal authorities investigated Omar’s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2016, during the Obama administration. Current and former officials told the newspaper that prosecutors declined to pursue a felony marriage-fraud case because the five-year statute of limitations had expired.
Omar, whose real name is “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” according to the Department of Justice, married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009, and the couple legally divorced in December 2017. She has repeatedly denied that Elmi, who is <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/10/29/us-news/lhan-omars-alleged-brother-she-wed-in-sham-marriage-identifies-as-gay-man-in-academic-paper/">reportedly gay</a>, is her brother.
“This isn’t just a case that’s targeting one individual. This is a large case that we have presented to the DOJ, and the DOJ is leading the investigations,” <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/10/31/us-news/ilhan-omar-case-is-large-and-targeting-multiple-people-reveals-dhs-secretary-markwayne-mullin/">Mullin told Fox.</a>
The allegations raise two potential criminal issues for the Democrat congresswoman, as federal law prohibits knowingly entering a marriage only to obtain a green card, and all 50 states <a href="https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/517.03">prohibit</a> siblings from marrying.
Omar’s former husband and suspected brother obtained a provisional two-year green card after he married Omar in 2009. He attempted to make his status permanent but abandoned the process after immigration officials requested additional information regarding his marriage to Omar. Elmi then left the United States and moved to the United Kingdom, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/obamas-fbi-found-evidence-ilhan-omar-committed-marriage-fraud-with-suspected-brother?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=19&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Obama%E2%80%99s+FBI+Found+Evidence+Ilhan+Omar+Committed+Marriage+Fraud+With+Suspected+Brother">The Daily Wire reported.</a>
As Omar faces a federal investigation into her citizenship, more than a hundred Democrats signed a <a href="https://jayapal.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Omar-Investigation-Letter_2026.10.26-final.pdf">letter</a> that accused both the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department of weaponizing law enforcement against Omar because of her opposition to President Donald Trump, and argued that the investigation could potentially sway voters in her reelection bid.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) signed the letter, but roughly 40 House Democrats did not, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fellow-squad-member-rallies-support-for-ilhan-omar-but-not-all-democrats-are-on-board?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=topic-secondary&amp;rowHeadline=ilhan+omar&amp;rowType=Article+Grid&amp;title=Fellow+Squad+Member+Rallies+Support+For+Ilhan+Omar%2C+But+Not+All+Democrats+Are+On+Board">The Daily Wire reported.</a>
Among those who did not sign the letter were Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Tom Suozzi (D-NY), Laura Gillen (D-NY), and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ). 
On FOX, Mullin rejected claims of political prosecutions, pointing to how the Biden DOJ handled investigations into President Trump. 
“We&#8217;re not the Democrat Party that came after their political enemies like President Trump, and they know they weaponized our DOJ and FBI. And it&#8217;s shameful, absolutely shameful, that they did that,” he said.
