Ilhan Omar's Marriage Application to ‘Brother’ Surfaces and It Has Some Curious Mistake
Oh Boy: Ilhan Omar's Marriage Application to ‘Brother’ Surfaces and It Has Some Curious Mistakes
https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2026/10/31/more-trouble-for-ilhan-marriage-application-to-brother-surfaces-with-multiple-name-cross-outs-n2208850Who amongst us hasn't forgotten their last name twice while filling out a marriage application to their alleged brother?
Everyone. Everyone, that's who.
A newly obtained certified copy of Ilhan Omar’s 2009 Minnesota marriage license application shows the Congresswoman crossed out her own last name twice while applying to marry Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, her alleged brother.
How tangled was this web of lies that she seemingly wasn't sure what to put down for her name?
The form initially listed her surname as Omar, then crossed it out and replaced it with Elmi, only to cross that out as well and change it back to Omar.
The couple also checked the box indicating they were not related by blood or adoption.
The document has resurfaced as the Justice Department continues an investigation into whether Omar fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship by using an inaccurate legal name and birthdate.
In a recent court filing, federal prosecutors referred to her as “Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”
The news follows a bombshell by the New York Times, which reported that federal investigators with the Obama administration found evidence of possible immigration fraud during a 2016 probe. This makes the Left's characterization of this as a case of political retribution by President Trump completely null and void.
It's remarkable how long this story has been buried. The Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2019 reported on documents raising questions as to whether she previously married her own brother as a means to “skirt immigration laws."
The marriage application itself, as reported by the New York Post, which obtained a copy, has circulated on social media for years. In fact, Alpha News first revealed it in 2016.
Pressure on Omar has been building in recent weeks. Federal agents searched discarded trash for DNA from her and her family before raiding her Washington, D.C., home. Sources indicate the evidence is considered critical to the ongoing investigation.
The scandal grew ever more bizarre when it was revealed that Elmi identified himself as a “gay man of the East African diaspora” in an August 2026 academic paper.
Guess we'll have to amend that first statement above. Let he (or she) who hasn't forgotten their last name twice while filling out a marriage application to their alleged GAY brother cast the first stone.
Separately, staff emails show that Omar’s congressional office asked the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library in 2019 to change her listed birth year from 1981 to 1982 — a shift that would have made her a minor when her father naturalized, a necessary change for her to have received derivative citizenship through him.
Omar has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

The reparations scam
First City to Pass Reparations Raises Property Taxes 9%
‘Guaranteed Minimum Income’ means guaranteed maximum tax hikes.
In 2019, Evanston, Illinois, a Cook County city, announced it would provide $20 million in racial reparations to black people. The city has made $7 million in illegal racial payments, but is being sued for racial discrimination, and its financial problems are leading to a 9% property tax hike.
The whopping $5 million tax increase includes an 8.9% property tax hike, a 25% water rate increase, and a doubling the natural gas tax, which will help push local residents out of their homes, and ironically, the homeowners most likely to be pushed out as a result will be black.
The crushing hikes also include a variety of other Chicago taxes, including a shopping bag tax, a streaming tax, a rideshare tax, and then perhaps, as the Beatles suggested, a foot tax.
Mayor Daniel Biss, the city’s ultra-woke leader and perennial candidate, currently the Democrat nominee for the Illinois 9th congressional district, with an academic history of retracted papers and a relationship with an undergrad behind him, argued in favor of the illegal racial reparations that “it’s something that we’re enormously proud of. I think it’s an important step, one might argue a partial step or an inadequate step, but still a really important step, toward both, on a factual level, reckoning with our past.”
The first step to reckoning with the past would be by acknowledging actual historical facts.
Illinois was never a slave state and one of the first acts of the pre-constitutional Confederation Congress was to pass the Northwest Ordinance which in Article VI laid out that “there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the said territory.” Evanston was spun off from Northwestern University, whose Methodist leaders were vehement opponents of slavery, and the city only became incorporated during the Civil War and never had any slaves.
Its only slaves today are its homeowners.
But the illegal racial reparations helped Biss build a platform for higher office and has now entangled the city in an extended civil rights battle even as it’s struggling to pay its bills.
Descendants of former white homeowners sued Evanston, and, represented by Judicial Watch, complained that they had been barred from applying for the racial grants. Evanston’s lawyers retorted that they hadn’t tried to apply for them while their lawyers pointed out that the grants were only open to black people and the judge agreed that it would have been “futile” to expect white people to apply for grants that the city had already said they were racially ineligible for.
Two years later, the DOJ has joined the lawsuit.”Handing out money based on race… is not the answer. It is race discrimination, pure and simple. And it is illegal,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division warned Evanston.
Apart from the cost of the litigation, Evanston will potentially be on the hook for having to hand out similar $25,000 grants to the descendants of white homeowners if it loses the case.
And sizable fines for engaging in racial discrimination.
Evanston’s woke spending sprees are now putting financial pressure on city residents.
Apart from a potential $20 million in racial reparations and the resulting federal civil rights lawsuit, there is also the socialist ‘Guaranteed Minimum Income’ of $500 a month to 100 people that Evanston committed to back in 2021, which comes out to around $600,000 a year.
A ‘Guaranteed Minimum Income’ also means guaranteed maximum tax hikes.
The current budget also lists assorted woke policies such as a climate plan with “100% renewable electricity” from solar panels and wind turbines, 25% electric cars for the government and “100 climate resilience projects”. A few million for racial welfare, a few million for climate graft, and suddenly Evanston is in the hole and needs to raise property taxes by 8.9%.
And instead of cutting any of the woke programs, taxes are being pushed even higher.
The formal proposed tax hike comes after the median property tax bill in Evanston was already up 5% this year and local homeowners are struggling with the high cost of living.
“We cannot, as a default, keep coming back to the taxpayers for more money,” Alderwoman Clare Kelly protested.“People are leaving the city and we need to tighten our belts.”
Even though the racial reparations program had been advanced to supposedly remedy past discrimination against black residents, it’s the black residents who keep leaving because they can’t afford Evanston. The $25,000 racial reparations grants and $6,000 guaranteed minimum income being handed out to some black people are not nearly enough to offset the high costs.
Evanston has been pivoting towards housing projects and urban density solutions which puts the city on track to mirror the usual urban divide seen in cities like New York City and Los Angeles where no one can afford to live except the upper class and the welfare class.
And that would wipe out black homeowners in the city.
Not only have racial reparations failed to protected black homeowners, but they have added additional litigation costs. The disastrous racial reparations program was pushed by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation: a radical foundation set up with the hijacked wealth of the conservative Republican whose $6.1 billion endowment has been used to promote socialist policies across the country.
But it’s not Mellon or its $6.1 billion endowment that’s on the hook: local homeowners are.
Meanwhile, the racial reparations program continues with a National Reparations Town Hall, a Reparations Repair Expo, a Reparations Program Contractor group, a Reparations Educational Working Group, a Reparations Committee Economic Working Group, and an Economic Development Kickstarter Program with racial payouts of up to $3,000.
And taxes are shooting up 9%.
If Evanston really wanted to help black homeowners, it would make life more affordable, instead of driving homeowners out of their homes to fund higher taxes to achieve ‘equity’.
