Did U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., commit immigration fraud coming to the United States from Somalia and are there ICE enforcement proceedings against her?
President Donald Trump jumped into the mystery Sunday by sharing a bombshell report by Just the News disclosing Immigration and Customs Enforcement refused to release records surrounding the Muslim member of “the Squad” in Congress.
While Trump did not post any personal commentary, the story indicates ICE officials claiming any release of relevant records might interfere with “enforcement proceedings.”
According to the report, “Just the News filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the records in January, seeking the records pertaining to any investigations conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement into the allegations that Rep. Omar, who represents Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, married a relative in order to help him remain in the country.
“Omar has denied the allegations. No court records, DNA evidence, or other documentary proof has ever substantiated that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar’s legal husband from 2009–2017, was her biological brother.
“‘ICE has determined that the information you requested is being withheld in full pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A). Disclosure of any responsive records at this time could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings,’ ICE told Just the News in response to the FOIA in May.”
“The FOIA exemption cited by the agency ‘applies to records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes when their release could disrupt such proceedings,’ the reply reads.”
Trump on numerous occasions has invoked the claim Omar “married her brother” in order to enter the U.S., accusing her immigration fraud.
“She married her brother in order to get in, right? She married her brother. Can you imagine if Donald Trump married his sister?” he asked.
“We ought to get her the hell out,” the president voiced at a rally in December 2025.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Vice President JD Vance confirmed the Justice Department was examining the allegations, saying in March: “I don’t want to prejudge an investigation.”
“It certainly seems like something fishy is there. If we think that there’s a crime, we’re going to prosecute that crime, and that’s something the Department of Justice is looking at right now.”

As WorldNetDaily reported in December, with Somalis in America under scrutiny for scamming the U.S. government for more than $1 billion, journalist Benny Johnson exposed the reasons behind the seemingly rampant fraud, including why Omar, a native of Somalia, is said to have married her own brother.
Appearing on Newsmax, Johnson told anchor Rob Finnerty: “You asked about Ilhan Omar marrying her brother. That’s horrifying. Being inbred is a very bad thing in Western civilization. It’s not what you want to do. There are horrible genetic results. It can really collapse your gene pool. It’s immoral in our culture.”
“But in Somalian culture,” Johnson continued, “up to 50% of the tribes are inbred. That’s first and second cousin marriages. The coefficient there is one of the highest rates of inter-family marriages in the world. Also some of the highest rates of child brides in the world. One of the highest rates of female genital mutilation on Earth is from Somalia. One of the highest rates of polygamy and tribal warfare and fraud and piracy all from Somalia.”
Why did Illhan Omar marry her brother?
Because in Somalia inbreeding is encouraged. It’s part of their culture:
– Inbreeding rates of +60%
– Child brides
– Mass female genital mutilation
– 58% of the population is illiterate
– Economy based on piracy and fraud
– Sharia Law and… pic.twitter.com/iuXt9q6eAv— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) December 9, 2025
“Who decided this was a good culture to bring here?” Johnson wondered aloud. “My test is the people are the nation. So it’s not like you’re just bringing over a bunch of Americans. You’re bringing over Somalia.”
