Ilhan Omar Denies Claim She Married Her Brother as Federal Inquiry Continues
US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has again rejected a longstanding allegation that she married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, to help him obtain immigration status. In a television interview, the Minnesota Democrat said she had no knowledge that the allegation was true and described the claims as baseless. The interview followed a reported federal search of Omar’s Washington home. Authorities are reportedly examining possible false information in immigration documents connected to her family’s arrival in the United States and her later citizenship process. Omar has denied any wrongdoing and accused the administration of using law enforcement to target political opponents. Reports say investigators listed possible offences including conspiracy, immigration fraud and false statements on immigration paperwork.
