- Rep. Omar has stated that she did marry "British citizen" Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009
- According to official student enrollment records archived by St. Paul Public Schools and the state of Minnesota, an “Ahmed N. Elmi” was enrolled as a senior in the Class of 2003 at Arlington Senior High School in St. Paul, MN, from September 6, 2002, until June 10, 2003. He graduated and received a diploma.
- The enrollment record states that “Ahmed N. Elmi” was born on April 4, 1985.
- Both Ilhan Omar’s 2009 marriage documents and her 2017 divorce proceedings state that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was born on April 4, 1985.
- Ahmed N. Elmi was a minor for most of the school year, and thus his parent(s)/legal guardian(s) would very likely also be listed on his enrollment records -- along with his home address and telephone number. St. Paul Public Schools stated to me that federal law (FERPA) and Minnesota law forbid it from releasing the names of Ahmed N. Elmi’s parents/legal guardians, address, or phone number from his enrollment record without Elmi’s signed permission -- or a warrant.
- I then contacted several members of the Class of 2003 -- and I was told that Eli “was living with his father” while attending Arlington Senior High School. I have also obtained the likely address.
- Further, Elmi’s father was identified as the same man Ilhan Omar has always publicly referred to as her own father: Nur Said Elmi Mohamed. (Read about Somali naming tradition here.
- Here is his Facebook account, where he refers to himself as Nur Said.
The Associated Press confronted Omar about these allegations, but the AP reports that "Omar broadly denied the allegations in a statement to The Associated Press, but declined to provide documents or answer specific questions when pressed." "Omar and her campaign have declined to provide the AP with a list of her siblings, but she has said publicly that she is the youngest of seven children. Elmi’s birthdate on the couple’s marriage certificate would make him three years younger than her.
Omar said in a 2016 statement: 'Insinuations that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is my brother are absurd and offensive.' The AP’s efforts to speak with Elmi were unsuccessful."

And I don't mean they have policy positions I disagree with. I mean they employ terrible people, many of whom would start with the proposition that, since this woman is a Muslim, she is also a deviate and an enemy of America.
she married her brother, would just add to her sterling resume
decided the story had enough weight to follow up on, I posted it.
There is now more out there: pictures of her with her apparent brother when they were growing up, and evidence that she scrubbed her social media accounts of him. So I'm betting it's true at this point.
Too bad the media didn't do their job before she was elected. The Democrats could've avoided all of this.

Of course, the media did not find this until AFTER the election which guarantees that a Dem holds the seat and AFTER she pisses off the Dem hierarchy with her equally premature attack on Israel.
