DOJ Filing Identifies Ilhan Omar as Ilhan Nur Said Elmi

A court filing says investigators identified the Minnesota Democrat as Ilhan Nur Said Elmi and are examining possible immigration-document fraud.

  • A court document filed Wednesday revealed federal investigators identified Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar" amid an ongoing probe into her immigration history.
  • Federal investigators are examining whether Omar or her father committed immigration document fraud, including scrutiny of her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, which critics allege was arranged for immigration benefits.
  • U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro asked a court on Wednesday to keep the federal search warrant for Omar's Washington, D.C., home sealed, while agents seized 17 items during the October 12 search.
  • Former federal immigration judge Nathan Hansen noted that if proven in court Omar operated under an alias, it could call into question numerous government records including passports, student aid, and voting documents.
  • Omar has denied all allegations, accusing President Donald Trump's administration of politically targeting her; earlier this week, Trump disparaged the congresswoman and her country of birth as investigators pursue DNA evidence.
