Obamin FBI je pronašao dokaze da je Ilhan Omar počinila prevaru u braku sa osumnjičenim bratom.

Former President Barack Obama’s administration possessed evidence suggesting Representative Ilhan Omar committed marriage fraud with a man she denies is her brother, according to reports citing current and former officials. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security investigated the Minnesota Democrat’s marriage during the summer of 2016. Prosecutors ultimately declined to file a felony marriage fraud case because the five-year statute of limitations had expired. Omar, whose legal name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009. The couple legally divorced in December 2017. Federal law prohibits knowingly entering a marriage solely to obtain a green card, while all fifty states ban sibling marriages. Elmi received a provisional two-year green card following the 2009 wedding. He later sought permanent residency but abandoned the application after immigration officials requested additional information about the union. Elmi subsequently left the United States for the United Kingdom. These findings emerged alongside a new criminal probe launched by the Trump administration. Federal agents recently executed a search warrant at Omar’s residence in Washington, D.C. They seized personal items, including her phone and a notebook, along with DNA evidence. The current investigation also examines potential false statements on Omar’s immigration documents. Obama criticized the latest federal action, calling it "appelling." In a 426-word statement issued after the raid, he argued the government was targeting Omar due to her political views rather than legal violations. He stated that selective targeting based on political beliefs violates basic democratic principles. Notably, Obama’s statement did not reference the prior FBI investigation or the evidence gathered during his presidency. Discrepancies exist regarding Omar’s birth year, which impacts her eligibility for naturalization. She claims to have been born in 1982. Under this timeline, she would have been under eighteen when arriving in the United States, making her eligible for citizenship through her father’s green card status. However, her Minnesota House of Representatives profile lists her birth year as 1981. Her memoir supports the earlier date, stating she was eight years old when civil war broke out in Somalia in 1989. If she was indeed born in 1981, she would have been too old to derive citizenship from her father’s status. The Trump administration continues its inquiry into these matters. Legal experts have raised questions regarding whether deportation proceedings could apply to a sitting member of Congress, though no definitive outcome has been announced. The conflict between the previous administration’s findings and the current administration’s actions highlights a complex legal landscape surrounding Omar’s immigration history and marital records.
