Obama-Era FBI Found ‘Some Evidence’ of Ilhan Omar Marriage Fraud: NY Times
Investigators found some evidence the 2009 union may have been arranged for immigration benefits, but prosecutors declined charges over a five-year deadline.
- A report by The New York Times revealed that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security under President Barack Obama uncovered evidence in 2016 suggesting Rep. Ilhan Omar may have engaged in marriage fraud.
- According to internal documents and officials familiar with the probe, federal investigators examined whether Omar's 2009 marriage to British citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was entered into fraudulently to facilitate student loans or immigration benefits.
- The 2016 investigation reportedly stalled without formal charges being brought due to statute-of-limitations constraints and jurisdictional challenges before Omar was elected to Congress.
- Omar has repeatedly denied all allegations of marriage fraud and wrongdoing, dismissing past scrutiny into her marital history as politically motivated attacks.
- The revelation of the Obama-era federal inquiry emerges amidst renewed scrutiny and ongoing federal reviews into historic immigration and tax filing records concerning the Minnesota congresswoman.
