‘You’ll Be Killed… Snake’: Ilhan Omar’s Somali Backers Using Death Threats and Street Attacks to Silence Critics Who Speak About Her Secrets, According to New Report

A campaign of intimidation inside Minnesota’s tight-knit Somali community is using online death threats, physical assaultsS, and pressure campaigns to stop people from talking about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s past, according to a new report published on Tuesday.

Sources told the New York Post that people who have questioned Omar’s background, her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, or her personal life have been assaulted in Minneapolis and Kenya, bombarded with daily death wishes, and warned they will be killed if they continue speaking out.

The paper states the protective network is not officially connected to Omar and it is unclear whether she is personally aware of the actions. Her office did not respond to a request for comment.

One man who spoke critically about Omar said he was jumped by roughly 15 people outside a Kenyan restaurant in Minneapolis, pepper-sprayed, thrown to the ground, and left with a concussion plus multiple cuts and bruises.

“I got jumped by 15 people and was pepper-sprayed,” the man, who was not named, told The Post.

“After that I don’t really remember what happened. All I know is I was thrown to the ground and had so many punches and kicks thrown at me.”

He told The Post he believes a popular Somali TikTok personality set followers on him by sharing his location after calling him a “fool” and threatening to “punch him in the face.”

“I was attacked because of this man. He set his followers on me after sharing my location,”‘ he said.

Report: Marriage License Application Reveals Ilhan Omar Appeared Unsure of Her Name

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) appeared confused about what name to use when applying for a license for her marriage to her alleged brother Ahmed Elmi in 2009, the New York Post reported Friday along with what appears to be a photo of the document.

An apparently certified copy from the Hennepin County, Minnesota, government shows that the congresswoman’s surname was initially written as Omar, but then was crossed out and replaced with Elmi before a final edit reverted it to Omar, the conservative New York tabloid reported.

The document will no doubt come into play in a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into whether the outspoken Somali-born Minnesota congresswoman committed fraud gaining her U.S. citizenship in 2000 by allegedly failing to use her accurate legal name and birthdate.

Another eye-opening revelation in the ongoing news reports on the controversy is that the man she applied to marry with the document describes himself as gay.

Omar’s legal name is a key element in the probe as the DOJ in its court filing last week named her as “Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”

A source familiar with the investigation had told the news outlet that Omar is a fictitious name and that she was born with the last name of Elmi, the same as her alleged brother she purportedly married.

The marriage certificate application, dated February 12, 2009, has other entries that could be relevant in the probe. It asks whether the bride and groom are related to each other by blood or adoption. The couple checked the “no” box.

Omar’s office did not respond to the Post for comment on the marriage license application.

Meanwhile, the Post also reported, “It’s unclear who filled out the application, but it appears to have been written with just one person’s handwriting.”

Also, unlike the Justice Department’s recent reference to Omar’s alleged true name, the initial revision was written as “Ilhan Omar Elmi,” the document shows.

Omar has denied the allegations of fraud and called the investigation and questions about her marriage a racist conspiracy theory and a politically motivated smear by Republicans and President Donald Trump.

However, when MS NOW anchor Chris Hayes recently asked her if she was related to Elmi, she answered, “Not to my knowledge,” an odd response that also made headlines.

According to the Post, “An image of the marriage application has circulated online for years and appears to have been first published in August 2016 by the Minnesota outlet Alpha News. It has until now largely gone untouched by major news outlets.”

Scott W. Johnson, a retired Minneapolis attorney, who has been investigating the “curious case” of Omar and allegations of fraud for nearly a decade, told the Post “the whole thing is a red flag.”

“Questions should be asked,” he said. “She’s never answered them.”

REVEALED: The OBAMA ADMINISTRATION Investigated Ilhan Omar and Found Evidence She Married Her Brother – Here’s Why They Ultimately Did Not Take Action

The investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) marriage to her “dirty dandy” alleged brother goes back further than anyone realized, and she previously got off on a technicality.

As TGP readers know, Omar has long been dogged by allegations that she married her second husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, as part of a scheme to get him U.S. citizenship. This has now become part of the sprawling federal investigation into Omar’s immigration fraud actions that could result in her deportation or imprisonment.

Omar previously said, “Not to my knowledge,” when asked whether she was related to her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.

Now, a new bombshell has arrived courtesy of The New York Times.

The investigation into Omar’s reported marriage to her fashionable brother did not begin under President Trump. Nor did it begin under Joe Biden.

It began under the Obama regime!

Per the Times, Team Obama actually found evidence that Omar’s marriage to her brother was fraudulent.

But the case allegedly stalled because the crime fell outside a five-year statute of limitations.

Of course, when it comes to Team Obama, take this with a grain of salt.

From The New York Times:

The F.B.I. and Department of Homeland Security investigated the marriage in summer 2016, during the Obama administration, and found some evidence that it was fraudulent, current and former officials said.

Speculation that Ms. Omar committed marriage fraud with a brother has shadowed the Minnesota Democrat’s political career for more than a decade, and President Trump repeated the accusation last week. She has long called it a right-wing conspiracy theory that federal officials debunked during her first race for elected office in 2016.

But that case stalled chiefly because prosecutors concluded that the potential crime, a felony, fell outside a five-year statute of limitations, according to the current and former officials, most of whose law enforcement careers spanned several presidential administrations.

A source familiar with the probe told the New York Post that the “Biden US Attorney in Minnesota shut it down” shortly after entering office in 2021.

Over 175 House Democrats Demand DOJ Drop Criminal Probe of Ilhan Omar, Call Raid ‘Weaponization’

More than 170 House Democrats have demanded that the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security stop the ongoing criminal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar after federal agents executed a judicially authorized search of her Washington, D.C., home earlier this month.

The letter, dated October 26 and led by Reps. Pramila Jayapal, Jamie Raskin, Bennie Thompson, Robert Garcia, Yvette Clarke, and Greg Casar, describes the pre-dawn search as an unprecedented “weaponization of law enforcement.”

“This weaponization of law enforcement to harass a sitting Member of Congress 22 days before an election is unprecedented and unacceptable,” wrote the Members. “We stand with Congresswoman Omar and condemn the weaponization of law enforcement against her. You have already disgraced the offices you hold, and we demand you to refrain from taking any further actions that could affect the outcome of the upcoming election.”

“Your actions are clearly driven by a pre-determined political outcome rather than an objective pursuit of justice,” the letter continued. “Political attacks should play no role in federal law enforcement, but they have here.”

The letter was sent to Attorney General Todd Blanche and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and asserts that the probe centers on immigration paperwork filed by Omar’s late father when she was supposedly a minor, after the family fled Somalia’s civil war.

Somaliland Accuses Ilhan Omar Of Leaking Classified Congressional Info To Somalia

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) father participated in genocide in Somaliland, and Omar herself has connections to top Somali thugs, so unsurprisingly there is a natural antipathy between Omar and Somaliland. The latest (resurrected) accusation from the breakaway African republic against Omar is that she leaked classified information to Somali leaders.

Ali Hassan Mohamed, former Somaliland minister of information, originally posted his accusation against Omar in 2024, but the @RepOfSomaliland account, which Somaliland’s Foreign Ministry has said is not an official government channel, is highlighting the accusation again to emphasize why Omar is a threat to American security.

On Sunday, the @RepOfSomaliland account (which Somaliland’s Foreign Ministry has said is not an official government channel), wrote of Omar, “She served on that same [House Foreign Affairs] committee and pressed Somalian leaders to act against Somaliland before relations between the Republic of Somaliland and the United States grows stronger. Months later on 6 February 2023, the Las Anod conflict erupted. Hundreds were killed and thousands displaced in a move that sought to destabilize Somaliland – but failed. This is how a foreign agent operates.”

Omar, whose real last name is Nur Said Elmi like her murderous father, is in America just to exploit our systems for her own benefit while still helping out the Islamic dictators back home. Somaliland is pro-America, but Somalia definitely isn’t.

By the way, the U.S. federal investigation into Omar’s immigration fraud includes not only the evidence that she married her brother, but also the total lack of record for her father’s naturalization as a citizen. Omar asserted that she had become a United States citizen through her father while she was still a minor, although she likely tampered with her birth year and he apparently lied about his citizenship status. Given all this, it is entirely possible that we have had a noncitizen Somali warlord’s daughter sitting in Congress all these years. No wonder she said that she would represent Somalia’s interests in Congress.

Omar is not just a liar and a criminal; she is a foreign asset embedded in our government. It’s time she is out of Congress and deported back to the country she claims to love so much.

Translation Reveals Ilhan Omar’s Disturbing Message to Americans: ‘You Will Suffer and Cry in Seething… We Are the Ones Who Rule This Land’

On the surface, a recent video clip of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota appears to be a peek into her peaceful, idyllic existence.

But the soundtrack to the contrived nonchalance of the stroll she and her husband take around a deck in Minnesota is much darker.

Omar is currently the target of a federal investigation into potential immigration fraud, as noted by The Washington Free Beacon, which decided to translate the lyrics of the rap song playing while Omar and husband Tim Mynett gazed into each other’s eyes.

“The almighty has given me strength,” the song says in Somali, according to the English translation the outlet made of the song.

“If I confront you in the afternoon, by evening, I will teach you a lesson and keep you awake throughout the night. Yes, you will suffer and cry in seething. You will scream like a demon,” the song says.

The lyrics carry a message to Americans who have watched the spectacle of a member of Congress facing accusations of fraud concerning her immigration status, her name, her alleged marriage to her brother, and financial irregularities on her disclosures.

“After all, you are not Arabs, So swallow your anger and chew on it,” the song says.

Jim Geraghty finds Ilhan Omar age discrepancy in her autobiography

National Review reporter Jim Geraghty has uncovered an age discrepancy based on what Ilhan Omar has said about her age and what she’s written in her book.

Here’s what he said:

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar writes in her memoir, “I was eight years old when civil war broke out in Somalia. One day everything was okay, and the next, there were bullets piercing not only buildings but also people.” While Somalia has suffered several civil wars, the chapter is entitled, “War: 1989-1991, Mogadishu, Somalia.” Mogadishu experienced severe riots in July 1989, including a mass execution that became known as the “Jazeera beach massacre.”

If, in her own words in her own autobiography, Omar was eight when this occurred in 1989, then she was born in 1981, and was 19 years old in the year 2000, when her father purportedly obtained his citizenship, not 1982 as she currently claims.

Red Steeze makes the obvious but important observation:

And there is not a single journalist anywhere interested in looking into these discrepancies. Her entire biography has just been “Trust me.” and that’s been good enough for all of them.

Old Ilhan Omar Tweet Resurfaces That Doesn’t Help Her Case At All

As she faces allegations of immigration fraud, a central aspect of the defense that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Mogadishu) is that her name is indeed Ilhan Omar. Or to be precise, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. The search warrant that was issued for the raid on her home identifies her as “Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”

This matters, because the man she married whom many say is her brother is named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Omar herself has dismissed the controversy as baseless (as well as racist and “Islamophobic” and all the usual tosh and twaddle), and when asked about her name, answered: “Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, you know it. It’s Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”

Now, however, a 2013 Ilhan Omar tweet has surfaced that only strengthens the case that she is indeed named Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, lending credence to the charge that when she married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, she was marrying her brother in order to help him get into the United States. And that, of course, is immigration fraud.

The case against Omar, of course, doesn’t depend on this alone. There is a great deal more evidence that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is indeed her brother. But this is another piece of the puzzle, and an extremely revealing one. Fox News reported Saturday that in a deleted 2013 social media post, the winsome Somalia-First solon dropped a massive clue regarding her name.

“Happy Father’s Day,” the future darling of the far-left and pro-Sharia forces in the U.S. wrote, “to my aabo [father] Nur Said, I am forever grateful to Allah for giving me the best father…” She deleted this tweet on Sept. 19, 2019, eight months after she entered Congress. Now, why would an innocuous Father’s Day greeting be something that an older Omar, now embarked upon a political career on the national stage, would want to delete?

Well, it seems that she now contends that her father’s name is Nur Omar Mohamed. In line with Somali naming practices, this would support the claim that her name is Omar also. However, in the deleted tweet, she calls her father “Nur Said.”

‘No Enemy Dares to Threaten Me’: Ilhan Omar Shares Video with Somali Diss Track

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) posted a video Friday of herself walking beside a Minnesota lake with her husband, set to a Somali song the lyrics of which describe humiliating enemies and making them “suffer and cry,” according to a translation obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The 27-second clip shows Omar with her husband, Tim Mynett, accompanied by “Nimaan Ciilayba Icaaya,” a song by Somali rapper Ilkacase Qays featuring singer Hodan Abdirahman.

“Less scrolling, more strolling. Enjoying our beautiful Minnesota lakes,” Omar wrote. Her caption did not mention President Donald Trump or identify anyone as the target of the song.

The Free Beacon interpreted the music choice as a swipe at Trump amid federal investigations involving Omar’s immigration records and financial disclosures. The outlet said it commissioned a certified English translation of the Somali lyrics.

“The almighty has given me strength,” the translated lyrics read. “If I confront you in the afternoon, by evening, I will teach you a lesson and keep you awake throughout the night. Yes, you will suffer and cry in seething. You will scream like a demon.”

Another passage challenges the singer’s opponents:

“Let me show you who I am. No enemy dares to threaten me,” the song continues, according to the translation. “Let the enemies die of seething. We are the ones who rule this land.”

The Free Beacon also reported that the lyrics refer to subjugating and humiliating enemies. Those words come from the song’s translated lyrics, rather than remarks Omar made in the video.

Omar has appeared with both performers before. According to the Free Beacon, footage uploaded to YouTube shows her singing and dancing with Qays and Abdirahman at a gathering in May. She was also filmed dancing beside Qays at the Somali Global Awards in Minneapolis in June.

Omar’s post came less than two weeks after Homeland Security Investigations agents searched her Washington, DC, home on October 12. The Justice Department confirmed that investigators carried out a court-authorized search as part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.

A Withdrawn Immigration Application, Corrected Tax Returns, And ‘Military Officer’ Father: Ilhan Omar Evidence Piles Up

The New York Post has published additional reporting (assembled from previous reporting – see below) on the disputed allegations surrounding Omar’s marriage to Ahmed Elmi, highlighting a British marriage certificate alongside previously reported financial records and witness claims.

Omar denies wrongdoing, and the material presented does not establish that Elmi is her brother or that their marriage was fraudulent. The Post’s cited evidence and allegations include:

  • Family records and names: A 1997 British marriage certificate obtained by the Post identifies the father of Leila Nur Said, whom the paper describes as believed to be Omar’s sister, as Nur Said Elmi. Sources told the paper this was another name used by Omar’s father. The Post also cites the federal filing identifying Omar as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.” His profession is listed as “military officer.”
  • A shared address: Omar and Elmi listed the same Columbia Heights, Minnesota, address on their 2009 marriage application. Ahmed Hirsi, the father of Omar’s children, also used that address for a business license, according to the Post.
  • Overlapping relationships and tax filings: Omar had her third child with Hirsi in 2012 while legally married to Elmi. The Post also cites joint tax returns Omar filed with Hirsi for 2014 and 2015, before her divorce from Elmi was finalized in 2017. Those returns were subsequently corrected.
  • A withdrawn immigration application: Citing the Washington Post, the paper reports that Elmi withdrew a marriage-based green-card application in 2019 after immigration authorities requested additional evidence concerning the marriage.
  • A disputed witness account: The Post revisits a Somali blogger’s 2020 claim to the Daily Mail that Omar had introduced Elmi as her brother and said he needed immigration “papers.” This remains a witness allegation, rather than documentary proof of kinship or fraud.

Omar’s late father, Nur Omar Mohamed, served as a colonel in Somalia’s army under dictator Siad Barre. A 2020 Sahan Journal obituary, citing a fellow former officer, reported that he commanded a regiment during the 1977–78 Somali–Ethiopian War and remained in the military until the regime collapsed in 1991. The New York Post has since quoted historian Mohamed Haji Ingiriis accusing him of helping sustain Barre’s dictatorship and misrepresenting his background when seeking refugee status in the United States. Barre’s forces committed well-documented atrocities against Isaaq civilians, including bombardments of Hargeisa and attacks on fleeing civilians. However, those atrocities and Nur’s military rank do not establish his individual culpability: the reporting cited does not demonstrate that he personally ordered or participated in a specific atrocity.
