Trump Demands Ilhan Omar’s Removal for ‘Marrying Her Brother’: ‘Throw Her the Hell Out of Our Country’
by Nick R. Hamilton
President Donald Trump has ignited a firestorm by suggesting that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) should be deported from the United States over allegations about her immigration history.
Trump’s remarks were made during a conversation with reporters aboard Air Force One, Breitbart reported.
The allegations center on reports that Omar may have entered the country through questionable means.
Trump is also blasting Omar over her outspoken defense of Minnesota’s Somali community amid ongoing controversies.
Whispers about Omar’s past first surfaced years ago.
Reports from outlets like Powerline, dating back to 2019, suggested that Omar entered the U.S. in 1995 under a different family name.
She was not genetically tied to the “Omar” family as part of an asylum application.
Allegations further claim her true name was Ilhan Nur Said Elmi before this process.
Adding fuel to the fire, Powerline also reported that while Omar and some family members sought asylum in the U.S. under assumed identities, three of her siblings used their real names to gain asylum in the United Kingdom.
This discrepancy has long been a point of contention for conservative critics who question the legitimacy of her entry.
Fast forward to 2020, when Powerline cited a Daily Mail story quoting a Somali community leader, Abdihaikm Osman Nur.
Nur blew the whistle to reveal that Omar married her biological brother so he could get a green card to secure his stay in the U.S.
