DNA Evidence in Ilhan Omar Fraud Probe Could Show Congresswoman Married Her Brother Federal investigators have reportedly obtained DNA evidence as part of an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar, and the news has revived a years-old allegation: that the Minnesota Democrat married her own brother to help him secure a green card. The claim has never been proven, and Omar has consistently denied it. On Monday, October 19, an unnamed source told the New York Post that the 44-year-old congresswoman's DNA is "crucial evidence" in a possible immigration-fraud case. The Post's account relied on anonymous sourcing, and no charges have been announced. Omar married British citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009, and they divorced in 2017. Critics have long pointed out that her father, Nur Omar Mohamed, has also used the name Nur Said Elmi Mohamed, which closely resembles her 41-year-old ex-husband's name ment, her lawyers wrote that President Donald Trump "has made no secret of his desire to target Representative Omar for criminal investigation and deportation as retribution for her poli Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to try to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post. People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar — and possibly members of her family like her father — defrauded immigration authorities. One source said the DNA evidence was critical to proving an allegation that Omar married her brother when she wed Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 because she was trying to help him get a green card — which never came to fruition. #somaliusa #somaliusa🇺🇸🇸🇴🇸🇴 @Omar Artan 🇸🇴 @Zuhuur Puntlander - @ayuutoboss9
