Ilhan Omar isn’t ‘Squad’ Rep’s Real Name as Feds’ Bombshell Docs give Huge Clue She did Marry Brother
The “real” name of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has been revealed in a federal court filing with an identical surname to that of her ex-husband — and rumored brother, The Post has learned.
Prosecutors referred to the Minnesota Democrat as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar,” in a Wednesday filing in DC federal court, which officials and legal experts said was indicative of the evidence compiled so far in an immigration fraud investigation into the “Squad” rep.
A source familiar with the investigation confirmed that Omar is not the congresswoman’s “real” last name, meaning she was born with the last name of Elmi, just like her alleged brother-husband. It’s unclear what charges could result from her purported use of an alias, which was first reported by Fox News.
Attorney General Todd Blanche also told The Post Thursday, “I don’t think [Assistant United States Attorneys] would make up names,” when asked about using the surname of her former spouse, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who has been rumored to be a blood relation for more than a decade.
“Evidence that’s collected is used in motions,” Blanche said.
Previously, prosecutors and legal experts indicated that the Department of Justice was seeking to bring an indictment alleging immigration fraud that would fall within a 10-year statute of limitations.
