Homan: DHS Investigating Ilhan Omar Marrying Alleged Brother for Visa Fraud
Homan also confirmed that DHS will look into the entire Somali population.
Border Czar Tom Homan has confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security started investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for marrying her alleged brother to get him a visa.
From what I have seen, no one has conducted a DNA test to prove if they’re related.
As Ed Morrissey pointed out, Power Line has been covering whispers about Omar and her supposed brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, for almost a decade.
The statute of limitations has passed, which means no criminal prosecution:
HOMAN: You know, I just got advised by fraud investigator the other day on that. I asked the question, “Who reviewed the file?” Says there was immigration fraud involved. The statute of limitation became an issue in last four years when this was first brought up, who was president, who run DOJ? So pulling the records, now, pulling the files, and we’re looking at.
But this fraud investigator, who I know personally, one of the best fraud investigators in HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, said there’s no doubt he reviewed the file. So I’m running that down this week, matter of fact, and we’ll see.
The next part is interesting because Homan addresses the Somali population, which has become big news lately thanks to the alleged fraud in Minnesota:
REPORTER: It’s tremendous, I mean. And according to the secretary, Christine Noah, DHS, you said nearly 50% of the visas are fraudulent in this community. I mean, that would that would mean that half the Somali refugees are here in some way, illegally. What’s going to happen? Is something that actually going to happen? Are there going to be people stripped of their visas, deported?
HOMAN: Absolutely. I mean, those days are over. Thank God President Trump’s in the White House. We’re going to look at all of them. I mean, we’re going to look at the, you know, those here illegally.
Of course, we’re going to look at those here under a visa or some sort of, you know, immigration process that are criminals. We’re going to look at the national security threats. But those who came through a process that weren’t properly vetted, didn’t provide documentation, who slipped through the Biden’s week to week processes on giving visas and temporary whether student visas or visitors visa, whatever.
We’re going for the whole gamut. President Trump has instructed us go down and we’re going to deep dive all of this, and we’ll hold people accountable. Yes, there are going to be multiple deportations coming, absolutely.
🚨 MASSIVE: Tom Homan confirms Homeland Security is INVESTIGATING Ilhan Omar's likely illegal presence in the US, coming here by marrying her brother

So what would happen to Omar?
Well, if fraud happened, then the U.S. could revoke any status giving Ahmed Nur Said Elmi permission to live here and possibly deportation.
However, Omar received asylum as a child. Her being in the U.S. did not depend on this marriage:
If I’m not mistaken – and I could be wrong- the most comprehensive look at this concluded that she married her brother so that HE could seek permanent resident alien status to remain in the US.
She was married to her ex-husband but not in a way officially recognized in the US. She married her bother but never stopped living with her husband.
After her brother obtained his status they divorced. Then she married her ex-husband legally in the US.
Her crime is immigration fraud for her brother’s benefit.

But there’s something else. Matt Tardio wrote on X:
Omar claims she obtained her citizenship when her father was naturalized in 2000, just months before her 18th birthday, but there is a problem. No record has been found of his naturalization paperwork.
In response to a FOIA request for her father’s N-400 paperwork filed by AJ Kern in June of 2023, the National Records Center was unable to locate ANY filings under his name.
Can she be denaturalized and deported if this is substantiated?
Yes. If fraud was involved in her father’s alleged naturalization, then her citizenship can be on the chopping block.
"There was immigration fraud involved…there's no doubt" (in reference to Ilhan Omar's marriage)
– Tom HomanHe also stated that the statute of limitations has passed.
This prevents Omar from criminal charges, but doesn't protect her from denaturalization or deportation.… pic.twitter.com/hbJWdScoi2

The investigation will open a can of worms, no doubt.
If I were a legal Somali immigrant, I’d be fuming at those who have ruined everything for the population.

Step one: Obtain DNA from Ilhan
Step two: Obtain DNA from her bubba
Step three: Confirm they are siblings
Step four: Buh bye
But that’s only buh=bye for the brother.
We deserve more.
And how do you obtain his DNA? No US court has any authority to order him to do anything.
For that matter, the fourth amendment prevents getting her DNA without her consent. There are no grounds for a court to grant a warrant for it. You can’t claim to be investigating the sham marriage, because the statute of limitations has passed for it. So you can’t get her DNA, you certainly can’t get his, and there’s no one to say bye bye to.
I don’t believe immigration fraud has a statute of limitations. And as pertains to her directly there is a strong circumstantial case that her claimed father is not her actual father. That would mean she committed fraud when it came to here own naturalization.
Don’t you watch the movies? Get her coffee mug, his hair from a comb or whatever. Is it admissible in a court of law? No. Is it admissible in the court of public opinion? Absolutely.
She’ll drop a cup, a food wrapper or something with DNA. It’s called police work.
No it doesn’t. She is suspected of committing a crime, immigration fraud, so can have a DNA sample taken to confirm her identity in relation to her brother. You are talking out of your keister on this. Immigration fraud has no “statute of limitations”. What the hell are you saying?
“Suspected” is not enough to force her to give a sample. And absolutely nothing can force the brother to give a sample, because no US court has any jurisdiction over him.
So I must be missing something. Isn’t the brother still in the US? And if he is and is suspected of immigration fraud can’t an immigration court make him prove it is not fraud? I get the statute of limitations passed on the criminal part but that does not protect him from the revoking his visa and deporting him if he does not cooperate.
Just as with the Letitia James post just below this one, nothing will happen. If you are a Leftist protected class of any rank you are above and outside of the law and can commit crimes with impunity.

Powerline blog has been covering this since about 2018.

Yes, very thoroughly and in great detail.
While there’s no positive proof that her second “husband” was her brother, the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. It takes someone deliberately ignoring the facts to deny it with a straight face. The exact purpose of the sham marriage is a mere supposition, but it’s a reasonable one.
Nor does it really matter what the purpose was. It was certainly a sham marriage, that existed only on paper. She never lived a day with her brother (or whoever he really was). She continued to live with her real husband, the father of her children, whom she had supposedly “divorced”. They continued to file joint tax returns, and continued to be known in the community as husband and wife. The brother (or whoever) lived separately from them, and no one knew that he was officially “married”, whether to his sister or to anyone else.
Here ya go. Scott Johnson has been on this story for almost 10yrs now.

Yes. I’m well aware of all those facts, and they support exactly what I wrote. That he’s her brother is supported by overwhelming circumstantial evidence, but no positive proof. That the “marriage” was a sham is likewise clear, but its exact purpose is a matter for supposition. That it was for the purpose of immigration fraud is merely a very plausible guess. But it doesn’t really matter what it was for.
Eric Daugherty is an idiot. That is NOT the allegation, and if he thinks it is then he’s too ignorant to comment on the topic.
Considering that he doesn’t live here, and hasn’t in well over a decade, none of that is on the cards. He has no status to revoke, and you can’t deport someone who isn’t here.
If it’s true that her naturalization was part of his, and his turns out never to have happened, then it follows that hers never happened either. And if it never happened then there’s nothing to revoke. She’s been (perhaps innocently) pretending to be a citizen for many years, but if that is shown to have been in error then there’s nothing to discuss; she’s an alien.
But that’s only if both of those claims are true. We only have Matt Tardio’s assertion on either of them.
Jesus, correcting you on this is getting old.
1) There are credible allegations that not only did she marry her brother to help him commit immigration fraud but that she committed it herself by assuming a false identity to get into the country and apply to be naturalized.
2) Her brother lived here but returned to England and I just saw a story where he was rolling with his boyfriend in South Africa have fun. Being gay is why his father ordered him to come to the US so he could try and reeducate him. The marriage was a way to keep him here. I’ve no idea if he has been banned from reentering. You are correct in this.
3) See 1. This has been extensively investigated with much information available. She entered the country claiming to be someone else, married her brother to commit more immigration fraud and compounded that by being married to someone else at the same time. She should be deported. Period.
I should also point out that she also committed both mortgage and tax fraud.
No, there are no allegations of that kind whatsoever. It is absolutely certain that she did not commit any fraud whatsoever to get into the country, and anyone who claims she did is a fucking liar. She was legally incapable of committing such a fraud.
This is pure supposition.
No, she did not enter the country claiming to be anyone, let alone someone else. Nothing she did afterwards can possibly affect her naturalization, assuming it ever happened.
If it is true that she was never naturalized in her own right, but has claimed to have been naturalized together with her father, and if it is also true that her father was never naturalized in the first place, so she’s been making the entire thing up all along, then she is not a citizen, has been impersonating one, and can be deported. But we have nothing but this Tardio person’s word for either of those claims.
Like that classic 70s Somali hit song-
He ain’t bed me. He my brother.
From what I understand he isn’t in the US. He fled when all of this first came to light years ago.
Not really. He was living in the UK in a flamboyant gay lifestyle which did not amuse his father. His father demanded he move here for “correction” and the way to get him here and live for a time was for Omar to marry him. He went back to the UK I guess when it didn’t work out and is now in South Africa posting on X showing him with his boyfriend and wearing makeup and short shorts. He could volunteer to come back but that’s not happening so the best the US can do at this point is bar his re entry.
He didn’t “flee” anything. All of this came to light many years after he went back to the UK, when she finally got around to “divorcing” him, and “remarrying” her real husband to whom she was married all along (but whom she has since divorced for real).
Isn’t Sexual Expression America’s established national religion at this point? Isn’t criticism of someone’s heretofore deviant sexual preferences hate speech, and worthy of prosecution? After all, one may marry a lover of the same sex and petition for him to immigrate.
I regret to say that saving Ilhan Omar will cause the whole Democratic Party and liberal jurists nationwide to cry out that maintaining the incest taboo makes America look backwards and regressive. Next, those ephebophile priest will emerge from incarceration with lachrymose tales of how a “Puritan culture” destroyed the “beautiful thing” they had initiating those altar boys into the joys of sexuality–and our MSM will cluck sympathetically in unison.
There was no sexual expression involved in her sham “marriage” to the person who was very likely her brother. Nor was there any incest involved. The “marriage” existed only on paper, and she continued to live with her real husband, who is not related to her at all.
A clear case of titular incest. Being on paper makes it messier.
