DHS chief confirms: Ilhan Omar ‘married her brother to try to bring him into the United States’

Long have there been claims that Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somali immigrant and Democrat representing a Somali-dominated congressional district in Minnesota, engaged in some flagrantly illegal actions some years ago.

The reports suggest that she married her brother in trying to give him American residency.

She is, after all, a native of Somalia, and often has declared her intention to protect Somalia in her actions as a member of Congress.

A report from the Daily Mail states bluntly that, “Trump’s top immigration official claims an internal investigation found that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar ‘married her brother’ and could be facing deportation.”

Markwayne Mullin, the chief of the Department of Homeland Security, said, “We know that she married her brother to try to bring him into the United States. We know he lives now in London.”

Omar’s scandal sheet already runs to volumes. One raised serious questions about how her net worth exploded from a few hundred thousand dollars to tens of millions in a matter of a year or three. And then went back down to almost zero.

There also have been dozens and dozens of fraud investigations, arrests and convictions among Somalis in her district related to social services fraud. Some were as basic as offenders setting up a name and corporation, claiming to be running and daycare and billing the government for millions for meals.

Only there were no meals, no children, and no daycare.

Leadership is asking me to draft a “strongly worded letter” instead of a subpoena for Ilhan Omar and her brother/husband’s immigration records.

I said no.

Strongly worded letters don’t get answers. Subpoenas do.

This is the problem – no backbone to pursue what everyone knows…

Previously, WorldNetDaily reported that journalist Benny Johnson exposed the reasons why Omar is said to have married her own brother.

He said, in a Newsmax interview, “You asked about Ilhan Omar marrying her brother. That’s horrifying. Being inbred is a very bad thing in Western civilization. It’s not what you want to do. There are horrible genetic results. It can really collapse your gene pool. It’s immoral in our culture.”

Why did Illhan Omar marry her brother?

Because in Somalia inbreeding is encouraged. It’s part of their culture:

– Inbreeding rates of +60%
– Child brides
– Mass female genital mutilation
– 58% of the population is illiterate
– Economy based on piracy and fraud
– Sharia Law and… pic.twitter.com/iuXt9q6eAv

Omar repeatedly has denied the charges, and a spokesman for her said such claims are “absurd and offensive.”

President Donald Trump has not withheld his opinion:

WorldNetDaily also reported President Trump’s blunt comments on the dispute.

“Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is … We ought to get her the hell out. She married her brother in order to get in. Right? She married her brother.

Omar responded then with claims of Trump’s “obsession.”

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.

Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.

He continues to be a national embarrassment. https://t.co/sFsGpxOf7o

The Daily Mail’s new report charged Mullin’s comments concerned Ilhan Omar and a brother, Ahmed Elmi.

“She allegedly was still married to her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, at the time of the second marriage, the congresswoman has told friends who relayed the account to the Daily Mail. Omar has long denied the allegations. She has since remarried a third time and is wed to political consultant Tim Mynett,” the report said.

He confirmed, “We’re investigating.”

And he pointed out there’s “no expiration” to the criminal charges that could be involved.

She became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000 when she was 17, but if the documents she filled out included false statements, the problems would not end easily.

“Abdihakim Osman, a past friend of Omar, told the Mail in 2020 that Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi,” the report said.

It said the first report Omar and her husband were siblings came on the Somalispot website in 2016.

[

The Department of Homeland Security office did not deny Mullin’s claims, with a statement confirming, “DHS does not comment on specific investigative techniques, ongoing investigations, or potential future actions.”

But it also said, “No one, including members of Congress, are above the law.”
