Ilhan Omar is Not Somali Congresswoman’s Real Name – Every Form She’s Ever Filled Out Could Be “Called into Question,” Former Immigration Judge Says

Federal sources have revealed to Fox News that “Ilhan Omar” is a fake name used by the Somali Minnesota Congresswoman currently embattled in a federal fraud investigation.

Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, the name of her brother-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, two sources familiar with the ongoing investigation confirmed to Fox.

A former Minnesota federal immigration judge also told the outlet that if it is proven that she lived her “entire life under an alias,” every document she’s ever filled out with the fake name could be “called into question.”

The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday that the Department of Justice revealed in a recent court filing that Omar is identified in the search warrant used to raid her home as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”

The DC US Attorney’s Office further revealed that their extensive search warrant has not yet been fully executed.

AOC Claims the FBI and DOJ That Democrats Used to Investigate Trump Are Now Corrupt and Must be Investigated

AOC of New York was recently in Maine campaigning for Troy Jackson.

During her remarks, she went off on a tangent about the FBI and the DOJ, suggesting that both agencies are corrupt and must be investigated.

Why? Because they’re going after her good friend Ilhan Omar.

AOC had no problem with the FBI or the DOJ when Democrats were using them to investigate Donald Trump, because that was just different.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-NY): First and foremost, everything that we are seeing unfold right now is an absolute weaponization of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations, point blank period. And I want to zoom out, you know, if you’re having a conversation with someone that isn’t sure about the details of what’s happening in the news and whatnot, just know that it has been standing practice in order to protect the integrity of our elections that the FBI and the DOJ do not take actions like these within a certain time frame of an election, regardless of what is happening in any circumstance of an investigation.

And so the very fact that this is happening in October and September tells you, period, that these agencies have been weaponized and compromised. So what we have to do, whether it’s this, whether it’s the corruption that we’ve seen with crypto and the ballroom and all of these things, is that we’ve known that Kash Patel has purged the FBI of many serious investigators. We’ve known that the Department of Justice has also been weaponized in its absolute groundless indictments of everyone from Tish James to Jerome Powell and so on and so forth.

Day one, we need to be opening investigations into the heads of every single one of these agencies, and we need to hold them accountable. I’m talking subpoenas. I’m talking investigations.

Ilhan Omar Claims She Lives “Paycheck to Paycheck” Despite Reported $30M Net Worth, Whines About Millionaires in Congress

Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar on Wednesday claimed that she lives “paycheck to paycheck” and has no wealth despite previously reporting a net worth of up to $30 million on a financial disclosure.

Omar previously revealed in a financial disclosure a net worth of $6 million to $30 million but later claimed that it was an “accounting error” and that she is actually worth between $18,004 and $95,000.

At the center of the discrepancy is her husband’s shady “winery” business. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, who is investigating Omar’s finances, recently said the winery was “shut down because of fraud,” revealing that they were selling empty barrels of wine to investors.

Now, the ongoing criminal fraud investigation is probing Ilhan Omar’s likely fraudulent disclosures, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro confirmed last week. President Trump further suggested that “her highly paid accountant actually reported the money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Omar sat for her first interview since the raid on her Washington, DC, home last Monday, with MS Now’s Chris Hayes on Wednesday. During the interview, she was also asked whether her ex-husband was her biological brother, and she gave an insane response, saying, “not to my knowledge.” Instead of just saying no, she said she isn’t sure.

In the damage control interview, Hayes was essentially answering the question and attempting to discredit claims about Omar while teeing up softballs.

Hayes did more talking on the subject of Ilhan Omar’s fraudulent net worth than she did!

Ilhan Omar Faces Money Laundering Charge After Oversight Committee Drops Stunning Revelation

A shuttered winery co-owned by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband sold investors empty wine barrels, House Oversight Chairman James Comer alleged Sunday, adding a new accusation to his committee’s scrutiny of the couple’s finances.

The Kentucky Republican made the claim about eStCru LLC during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” saying the California business had closed. Comer cited press reports but did not identify an investor, transaction, or document supporting the empty-barrel allegation.

Comer, who is leading the congressional investigation into Omar, also said his committee had identified “multiple fronts where you could get a search warrant issued” against the Minnesota Democrat.

The winery and a second business tied to Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett, have drawn questions over sharp changes in their reported worth.

In a financial disclosure submitted May 14, 2024, Omar valued Mynett’s stake in eStCru at $15,001 to $50,000. The following year, she listed the winery and his venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital, at a combined $6 million to $30 million.

By March 26, an amended disclosure reported no equity value in either company.

The revision followed a Feb. 5 letter from Comer demanding that Mynett turn over financial records, investor lists, and an explanation of how the businesses had been valued.

Nine days after Omar amended the filing, eStCru was legally terminated. Mynett’s business partner, William Hailer, signed the April 4 paperwork.

Omar’s spokesperson has previously blamed her husband’s accountants for an error that “created a misleading picture of far greater wealth.”

The winery had already become the subject of a lawsuit. A California businessman sued Mynett and Hailer in 2024, alleging they had “fraudulently misrepresented” eStCru as a legitimate business after promising to triple his $300,000 investment.

Mynett and Hailer have disputed the allegations and denied wrongdoing.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro of the District of Columbia confirmed last week that her office is investigating Omar’s financial disclosures. A separate criminal investigation into her immigration records has also reached members of her family.

CNN Leftists Melt Down When Facts Undercut Their Defense of Ilhan Omar

When conservative radio host Jason Rantz laid out the facts of the federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on CNN’s NewsNight Tuesday, the liberals on the panel couldn’t handle it.

Omar, of course, is under investigation for immigration fraud, and last week, federal agents executed a search warrant at her Washington, D.C., residence and seized her passport, computer, and phone. Liberals freaked out, even though a federal judge (who happens to be a Democrat) signed off on the warrant, and the investigation actually traces back to the Biden administration. Democrats want to frame it as Trump weaponizing the government against a political enemy, but that narrative simply doesn’t jibe with the facts. Investigators are reportedly looking at whether Omar misrepresented her age on immigration paperwork, along with the long-running claim that she married her brother. DNA evidence reportedly figures into the case.

Omar denies any wrongdoing, calls the whole thing political, and is desperately trying to raise money off the situation.

Liberal podcaster Leigh McGowan didn’t want to hear any of it. She treated the search as proof of tyranny and the left’s favorite f-word.

“He is acting kind of textbook fascist behavior-like, when you start going after your political enemies like this,” McGowan said. “It’s not an investigation looking for the truth. It’s a conclusion looking for a case, right?”

McGowan then turned the story toward herself, noting that she’s a naturalized citizen who criticizes the president. CNN’s Ana Navarro jumped in with, “As a second naturalized citizen at the table, please don’t give him any ideas.”

Ilhan Omar Chuckles Nervously When Asked if She Married Her Brother, Says “Not to My Knowledge”

Rep. Ilhan Omar gave a weird response when asked if she married her brother in an interview on Wednesday, suggesting she’s unsure of the answer in an awkward, apparent attempt at sarcasm.

This comes as feds have obtained Omar’s DNA, which could be used to prove that she married her brother to commit immigration fraud. However, the probe appears to be focused on Ilhan Omar’s own fraudulent naturalization and other crimes involving her finances.

During an interview with MS Now’s Chris Hayes on Wednesday, her first since the raid on her Washington, DC, home last Monday, the two spoke about Omar’s marriage to her biological brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. The claim was first reported by a Somali website called Somalispot.

“Who was this man that was your husband? When did they start saying that he was your brother? Why?” Hayes asked.

Omar appeared nervous while laughing and said, “It started with the Somali blog that I don’t know if it still exists, but somebody put him there that, you know, that he had to have been my brother or something to that effect, and right-wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it.”

She continued, “And they just kind of went and like found random people who were like, she introduced us, you know, ‘she introduced him to us and said he was her brother,’ which is, you know, insane. I mean, I don’t, I don’t know those people that they talk about.”

Hayes then asked, “You were not related to him at all? There’s not some weird kernel of truth?”

Washington Post Accidentally Reveals More Evidence Implicating Ilhan Omar In Fraud

Buried in a report aimed at discrediting ongoing probes into Rep. Ilhan Omar, The Washington Post divulged fresh evidence suggesting her previous marriage to her alleged brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was a sham.

In recounting the first Trump administration’s ultimately inconclusive investigation into some of the same issues federal officials are examining anew concerning the congresswoman’s background, the Post reveals that Elmi once filed a petition to have his residency status, derived from his marriage-based green card, shifted from conditional to permanent. According to the newspaper, U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) “requested additional evidence due to concerns over the validity of his marriage,” at which point Elmi pulled his application.

This immediately raises three questions: What was it in that application that gave immigration officials pause? Why was it that Elmi dropped his bid to obtain permanent residency if the marriage was legitimate? And did authorities in the first Trump administration vigorously pursue these issues, and are they vigorously pursuing them now to the extent there are potential legal issues arising therefrom not bound by statutes of limitation?

While the Post mentions this matter in passing, there is critical additional context here that the newspaper omitted, which ties Elmi’s abandonment of his permanent residency push to Omar.

Elmi almost certainly filed and then withdrew an I-751 petition. Under federal law, typically, within the 90-day period before “the second anniversary of the date on which an alien obtained” a green card, such aliens must file an I-751 to remove conditions on their residency. Absent circumstances like death or divorce, petitioners must file jointly with their spouses.

Elmi and Omar did not legally divorce until 2017, years after he had left the U.S. and returned to his native United Kingdom. The alleged siblings were married here in 2009. Even if it took an exceptionally long period of time for Elmi to receive his marriage-based green card, that period plus two years almost assuredly would have fallen long before 2017. So presumably, they would have filed their petition jointly.

Per the current instructions for filing an I-751, petitioners must show evidence that their marriage “was entered in ‘good faith’ and was not for the purpose of circumventing immigration laws.” To do so, they must provide a number of supporting documents, like the birth certificates of children, contracts demonstrating joint occupancy/residency, “financial records showing joint ownership of assets and joint responsibility for liabilities,” and “other documents” and sworn affidavits demonstrating one’s marriage is legitimate.

When filing jointly, one’s spouse needs to sign, affirming, under penalty of perjury, that the petition and all supporting documents are “complete, true, and correct.”

Enter Ilhan Omar, and key facts that The Washington Post and others appear to have missed. As I documented in my 2020 book, American Ingrate: Ilhan Omar and the Progressive-Islamist Takeover of the Democratic Party, during the 2018-19 period, then-State Rep. Ilhan Omar faced an ethics probe resulting in a finding that she had improperly spent $3,400 in campaign funds.

Part of that improper spending centered on legal fees, including to immigration lawyers. Omar hired those attorneys to help her with “crisis management” beginning in August 2016, when, following her historic primarying of a 44-year Democrat-Farm-Labor incumbent in Minnesota House District 60B, word first began swirling that Elmi was Omar’s brother, and her marriage to him constituted a marriage/immigration fraud scandal.

Ilhan Omar Breaks Silence After Feds Raid Her Home in Video Statement Begging for Money – Claims Trump is “Running Scared”

Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar on Wednesday broke her silence, begging for money in a social media video more than a week after her home was raided by the Department of Homeland Security in an ongoing criminal fraud investigation.

Omar’s Washington, DC home was raided early last Monday morning in a criminal fraud investigation that is looking at Omar’s immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a teen. Investigators were seen hauling boxes of evidence out of her home last week.

Omar previously released a statement, hours after the pre-dawn raid began, writing on X, “I’m ok.” She continued, “Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.”

Since the raid, the years-long investigation, which began under Biden, has expanded further. It was also revealed that the warrants were approved by far-left federal magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh, an Obama appointee who donated to Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 White House bid, debunking any claim of weaponization against the Somali fraudster.

Now, Omar’s begging for more donations to “fight Trump and his administration,” claiming the investigation is meant to “intimidate me and so many people right before the midterm elections,” and that Trump is “running scared.”

She claims that she will be “out there campaigning alongside all of you and making sure that we beat back all of this and that we win in the midterms, win the House, win the Senate, and hold this administration accountable.”

That might be hard to do from prison or Nayib Bukele’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in El Salvador.

Did Ilhan Omar’s Husband Sell Empty Barrels of Wine?

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and her family seem to have abandoned their life as murderous warlords in Somalia only to become professional fraudsters in America.

Omar’s husband, Tim Mynett — the one to whom she is currently married, not her brother, whom she pretended to marry for immigration fraud purposes — used to run a winery. Because, you know, she’s a super devout Muslim and all that. The winery abruptly closed earlier this year amid official scrutiny. Turns out part of the problem might’ve been that Omar’s husband was selling investors empty barrels of wine. It’s absolutely incredible how these people seem incapable of running a business or holding a job that is not a front for crime.

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), House Oversight Committee chairman, made the revelation about the empty wine barrels during an interview Monday on Fox News. “From our initial investigation of Omar and her financial disclosure form, there are multiple fronts where you could get a search warrant issued,” he said. The Trump administration recently raided Omar’s D.C. home.

Comer also referred to Omar’s numerous connections to the Somali fraud network in Minnesota, including through earmarking taxpayer money for an alleged substance abuse clinic that was actually a fraud scam run out of a restaurant. Omar’s sister Sahra Noor likewise seems to be connected both to the $250 million “Feeding Our Future” scam and a USAID fraud scheme. It’s all in the family.

No Record of Ilhan Omar’s Father’s U.S. Naturalization?

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) herself previously stated that she received her American citizenship through her father, whom she said became a naturalized citizen while she was still a legal minor. But a Trump administration investigation indicates that her father might never have obtained naturalization officially, making her citizenship likewise suspect.

While this report about Omar’s father has been circulating for a while, Libs of TikTok’s Chaya Raichik and former candidate AJ Kern, who ran against Omar, claim to have obtained official letters from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) revealing no record of naturalization papers for Omar‘s father. USCIS has not yet confirmed this fact publicly, and the investigation into Omar and her family remains ongoing.

The New York Post reported last week that the recent raid on Omar‘s home was specifically related to her and her father‘s citizenship status. At the same time, the Post acknowledged that Kern had requested information about Nur Omar Mohamed — originally Nur Said Elmi Mohamed — which is how Kern claims she ended up with the letters.
