Agents from the FBI have called on ICE, along with the Department of Education, to provide information that centers around far-left Democratic “Squad” member Omar’s marital history, according to The Blaze. Investigators with multiple federal agencies are now reportedly reviewing evidence of alleged crimes committed by the Minnesota congresswoman.
“The Department of Justice had assigned an FBI Special Agent in Charge, or SAC, to review Rep. Ilhan Omar’s apparent, astonishing spree of felonies from 2009 to 2017,” The Blaze reported that toward the end of last year.
The Minnesota Star Tribune has reported the following timeline of Omar’s marital history:
• 1982: Ilhan Omar is born in Somalia, the youngest of seven children.
• 1997: Omar, still a teenager, settles in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis after fleeing Somalia’s civil war with her family and spending four years in a refugee camp in Kenya.
• 2002: Omar, now 19, marries Ahmed Hirsi, 22, in their “faith tradition” in Minnesota, but they don’t legally marry.
• 2008: Omar and Hirsi, now the parents of two children, reach an “impasse in our life together” and divorce in their faith tradition.
• 2009: Omar, at 26, marries Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, 23, whom she identifies only as a “British citizen.” School records show he attended high school in St. Paul and studied art at North Dakota State University.
• 2011: Omar and Elmi end their relationship and divorce in their faith tradition, but do not legally divorce until 2017.
• 2012: Omar and Hirsi reconcile and have a third child together.
• 2014–15: Omar files joint tax returns with Hirsi, though they are not yet legally married; she remains legally married to Elmi.
• 2016: Omar, endorsed by the DFL over longtime incumbent Phyllis Kahn, is elected to the Minnesota House, becoming the first Somali-American, Muslim legislator in the United States. But her campaign is rocked by allegations in a Somali news forum and the conservative Power Line blog suggesting that Elmi is her brother and they married for unspecified immigration benefits.
• 2017: Omar is granted a legal divorce from Elmi.
• 2018: Omar legally marries Hirsi and is elected to Congress.
