FBI under Obama found evidence Ilhan Omar entered ‘sham marriage’ with her suspected brother, explosive report reveals | 28 Oct 2026 | The FBI under President Barack Obama found evidence suggesting Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar entered into a sham marriage with a man suspected of being her brother, an explosive new report claims. The Minnesota congresswoman has long faced allegations that she married British citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 to help him obtain a green card — claims previously reported by the Daily Mail. President Donald Trump’s administration has since launched a fresh investigation into her immigration history. Now, The New York Times has revealed that FBI and Homeland Security agents investigated the alleged sham marriage in 2016 and uncovered some evidence suggesting fraud.
