Deleted 2013 Post Revives Federal Probe into Ilhan Omar
Newsweek reported that a 2013 Father’s Day post by Rep. Ilhan Omar, which mentioned a name resembling her former husband’s, was deleted and has reignited scrutiny of the ongoing federal investigation into her marriage and immigration history. The revelation comes as authorities continue to examine her and her father’s immigration records. Fox News noted that the deleted post referred to her father as “Nur Said,” linking it to the probe. NewsNation said a 2024 raid on Omar’s Washington, D. C.
, home revived a case that had been closed in 2019 without evidence of fraud. WBFF reported that court documents listed Omar under the alternate name “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” prompting President Trump to call for her resignation. PBS reported that Omar announced she would relocate from her D. C. residence after the federal search.
