The New York Times examined Rep. Ilhan Omar's marriage history, highlighting speculation that she may have married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, to secure him a green card. This alleged marriage in 2009 occurred after her first, informal union with Ahmed Hirsi. The report noted peculiarities in Omar's marriage to Elmi, including that a Christian pastor, rather than an imam, signed their marriage certificate. Omar's past includes filing joint tax returns with Hirsi while married to Elmi and remarrying Hirsi after a legal divorce in 2017. A federal investigation into the matter is ongoing.
