Former President Donald Trump has again targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, accusing her of marrying her brother to secure a path to U.S. residency and demanding the expulsion of Somalis from the country.
In a recent speech in Pennsylvania, Trump criticized Omar, stating: “I love this Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is… She comes in, does nothing but bh. She’s always complaining. She comes from a country where, I mean it’s considered about the worst country in the world.”
Trump further claimed that Somalia has no military, police, or parliament and that its citizens “kill each other all the time.” He also said: “We oughtta get her the hell out!” and announced a permanent pause on Third World migration from countries like Afghanistan, Haiti, and Somalia.
Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed that an immigration fraud investigator for Homeland Security Investigations has found evidence of fraud in Omar’s file. Homan noted that the statute of limitations prevented action until recently due to delays under the previous administration.
A Somali community leader in Minneapolis, Abdihakim Osman, verified that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British citizen, to obtain U.S. residency for him. According to Osman, Omar admitted she would “do what she had to do to get [Elmi] ‘papers’ to keep him in [the] U.S.” The couple married on February 12, 2009, in Minnesota.
Omar has denied the consanguineous nature of the marriage. She previously married Ahmed Hirsi in 2002 and separated in 2008. However, since their union was not legally recognized by the state, their separation did not occur under U.S. law. Omar and Elmi lived together in Minneapolis after their marriage.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reported that 50% of Somali immigration records issued in Minneapolis have been found fraudulent in a recent government report.
The U.S. government has warned that fraudulent visas will result in deportations, emphasizing the need to address such practices.
