Rep. Ilhan Omar will move out of her DC home after federal search

politicsOct 23, 202658495

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar said she will move out of her Washington, D.C., home after federal agents searched the property last week, saying the attention from the raid made her feel unsafe there. The search is part of an ongoing federal probe into Omar that has not been resolved publicly, and her announcement came Wednesday. President Donald Trump demanded Omar resign from Congress, citing a federal court filing that identified her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar," an assertion Omar's office calls false. The court-filing detail has become a focal point for critics who argue it shows she used a different name when sworn in, while supporters and some commentators have pushed back against that interpretation.

“Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Dumocrat Party has just conceded her seat.”

Trump: It was just revealed that Ilhan Omar's name is not Ihan Omar, the one she used to get elected and sworn into Congress, but rather, it's an entirely different name, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and that her last name is, incredibly, also the exact name of her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the person they said she married and had children with.
When asked whether or not she married her brother, she said, "Not to my knowledge." In other words, she somehow didn't know?
Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Dumocrat Party has just conceded her seat. Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, her real name, has openly admitted to FRAUD, and she will not be legally allowed to be a Member of this August Body from this point forth. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD
J. TRUMP

Next he’s going to be posting that Facebook does not have the right to use his photos.

Just to show how stupid this is, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is her ex-husband, and so the big bombshell is that at some point she took his last name, and after the divorce went back to Ilhan Omar. There is a conspiracy on the right that he was her brother, I have no idea where that comes from.

His smoking gun is that she has the same last name as her brother?

What’s JD Vance’s real name?

HELL Kennedy98

Has this guy met his vice president, James Donald Bowman, aka James David Hamel, aka JD (no periods) Vance?

Does anyone ever just look him right in his face and tell him to shut the fuck up? Someone needs to. I would pay to see that.

Sorry, am I to understand that the big scandal here is that… Omar used to legally have the same surname as her ex-husband? But now no longer uses that surname? Do these people understand how marriage works?

Please inform the Speaker of the House that James Hamel, who swore into office under the fake name of "JD Vance," cannot legally serve as Vice President

IMO news networks and papers should report that the president is insane and is attempting to expel an elected member of Congress based on his own lies and delusions.

…he thinks that a woman having the same last name as her brother means that they’re married???????????????????????

I too share a last name with my brother, because we share a father and I never changed my name.

Thanks for the explanation for those of us who remain out of the loop.

Oh, I think you know where it came from. The same crusty pit of racism where “Obama was born in Kenya” came from.

Catgate4

It originated from an anonymous account on a social media platform (can’t remember which one). The poster claimed that Ilhan introduced her husband as her brother at some point.

@normative.bsky.social

You know how I’m pretty sure Ilhan Omar’s birth name is Ilhan Omar? The big clue is that her father was a guy named Nur Omar.

She should claim that she's changing her name to Ilhan America just to screw with what remains of Trump's brain.

Funny that that works in some cultures, not in others.

@silvermansecurity.bsky.social

The context here is that Jeanine Pirro used Omar's former married last name along w/her first & middle names in a court filing & then added aka Ilhan Omar. It's part of the conspiracy theory that her first husband is really her brother, which is part of the naturalization fraud conspiracy theory.

@cmraman.geek.org

He's not her brother. He's also not the father of her children. Trump is, as usual, confused. (This is based on a court filing by Jeannine Pirro which referred to Omar as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar".) At any rate they were no longer married when she got elected to Congress.

🚨 Breaking: Sources tell Fox News that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, not Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. A court filing in her ongoing federal investigation (tied to a raid on her D.C. home) lists her as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.” #IlhanOmar #politicprepper

#Xenophobia Trump *knows* his base, Ilhan Omar is the perfect villain for Republican voters. Non-white, non-Christian *and* a woman, before Trump hurls an insult or makes any false accusations, Republican voters will already question her judgment, allegiances and intelligence. #IlhanOmar #Minnesota
