   The FBI is looking into reports that Representative Ilhan Omar   
   (D., Minn.) married her brother in order to ease his immigration   
   to the U.S., the New York Post reported on Sunday.   
      
   Two agents interviewed a person with knowledge of the case in   
   Minnesota in mid-October. The person presented a trove of   
   documents relating to the marriage of Omar and Ahmed Nur Said   
   Elmi in 2009.   
      
   A number of right-wing blogs have for years posited that Elmi, a   
   British citizen, is Omar’s brother based on a years-old   
   Instagram post that identified him as the “uncle” of Omar’s   
   child. The agents are reportedly now looking into the   
   possibility that Omar married Elmi in order to obtain a Green   
   Card for the brother.   
      
   Omar did not comment on the latest report, but has repeatedly   
   denied the allegations she married her brother. The claims were   
   initially sourced to a post, since deleted, on the website   
   Somalispot, a blog forum that caters to Minnesota’s Somali   
   community.   
      
   Before the marriage to Elmi, Omar was engaged to Ahmed Hirsi in   
   2002, however the congresswoman has said she did not legally   
   marry Hirsi. Omar and Hirsi split in 2008, but reunited in 2012,   
   even though Omar was legally married to Elmi until 2017.   
      
   Omar separated from Elmi in a no-fault divorce, which she   
   obtained by stating under oath that she had no way of contacting   
   Elmi. That claim came under scrutiny last year when the Daily   
   Caller reported that Elmi may have designed source code for a   
   website run by Omar’s sister from Nairobi, Kenya.   
      
   In addition to the speculation surrounding her family, Omar has   
   also drawn fire for a series of anti-Semitic comments on   
   Twitter. She and Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib were   
   refused entry to Israel in August due to their support for the   
   Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which seeks economic   
   and cultural boycotts of Israel.   
      
   Omar and Tlaib had planned their trip in conjunction with   
   Miftah, a Palestinian non-profit that has published a blood   
   libel accusing Jews of using the blood of Christians to make   
   matzoh for Passover. Miftah also republished an American neo-   
   Nazi article alleging that Jews control the news media and   
   entertainment industries.
