President Trump went on the attack again, this time targeting Minnesota’s far-left Democrat Ilhan Omar. Earlier this week, Omar was nearly removed from her committee assignments following a contentious incident involving her harsh criticism of assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk over alleged immigration fraud.
More provocatively, Trump publicly questioned whether Omar has connections to the eight defendants charged in a brazen Medicaid fraud scheme out of Minnesota. This raises the possibility that the FBI might resume or continue an investigation into Omar’s activities—an inquiry that first surfaced five years ago when reports revealed she had allegedly married her brother to commit immigration fraud. Whether the investigation will be reactivated remains unclear.
Trump voiced his accusations on Truth Social, following a narrow 214-213 vote where four renegade Republicans joined Democrats in keeping Omar on all her committees. This vote tabled a motion put forward by GOP Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina, which sought to punish the congresswoman.
The motion cited an interview Omar conducted with far-left journalist Mehdi Hasan, along with a controversial video targeting Charlie Kirk. The video viciously labeled Kirk as reprehensible, a stochastic terrorist, an adamant transphobe, and accused him of believing in the subjugation of women. It went as far as dramatizing Kirk as “Doctor Frankenstein,” with his monster metaphorically shooting him in the neck, according to the video’s narrative.
Unrelenting, Trump fired back the following day with a scathing post on Truth Social:
“Ilhan Omar’s country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central government control, persistent poverty, hunger, resurgent terrorism, piracy, decades of civil war, corruption, and pervasive violence. Seventy percent of the population lives in extreme poverty with widespread food insecurity. Somalia is consistently ranked among the world’s most corrupt countries, including bribery, embezzlement, and a dysfunctional government. All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America! P.S. Wasn’t she the one who married her brother in order to gain citizenship??? What SCUM we have in our country telling us what to do and how to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
But Trump didn’t stop there. Responding to a post from Libs of TikTok that highlighted the Medicaid fraud charges, Trump posed a pointed question: “Does Ilhan Omar know these people? Are they from her wonderfully managed home country of Somalia?”
U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson weighed in on the Medicaid fraud investigation, stating, “The level of fraud in these programs is staggering. These programs have been abused over and over to the point where fraud has overtaken the legitimate services.”
### Omar’s Controversial Marriage and Immigration Fraud Allegations
The immigration fraud allegations against Omar stem from her controversial marriage history. As reported by *The New American* in February 2020, Omar reportedly married her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, who is a British subject. Abdihakim Osman, a Somali community leader in Minneapolis, confirmed the marriage and told the *Daily Mail* that Omar admitted she would do whatever necessary to obtain legal papers to keep Elmi in the U.S. Osman added that Omar explained she needed those papers to allow her brother to attend school.
These facts suggest that Omar, who denies the marriage was consanguineous, may have committed not only immigration fraud but potentially student loan fraud as well—raising further suspicions for those scrutinizing her past.
In January 2020, the *New York Post* reported that two FBI agents conducted an hours-long meeting in Minnesota with a concerned party who handed over a trove of documents regarding Omar’s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Despite this lead, no public action apparently resulted from the investigation, which critics argue the Biden administration may have suppressed.
Now, the pressing question is whether former President Trump will direct the FBI to reopen the case. If he does, Ilhan Omar could face far more serious consequences than simply losing committee assignments.
