Rep. Ilhan Omar insisted she’ll keep voting in Minnesota as feds probe her immigration history, brushing off questions about whether the investigation could threaten her US citizenship.
Omar spoke briefly after casting her ballot in Minnesota, where she’s up for reelection amid a federal immigration probe into whether she married her brother, lied about her birthday and has been living under an alias.
Asked by reporters whether this would be her last time being able to vote, Omar defiantly shot back: “No, and I’ll continue to vote.”
The congresswoman then hurried away from reporters and said federal officials haven’t told her anything about the investigation that could threaten her ability to remain a US citizen.
A federal filing lists her full name as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” rather than the commonly known Ilhan Omar. Elmi is the last name of her former husband, who has long been rumored to be her brother, and the filing suggests the feds have evidence she was born with that name.
Federal agents searched the “Squad” Democrat’s Washington, DC home on Oct. 12, seizing her cellphone, while grand jury subpoenas were issued to members of her family.

Omar has denied wrongdoing and called the investigation politically motivated. No charges have been announced.

Uganda!
Just ask Madmandamni for some recommendations.
Where are AOC and Tlaib, her Squat-mates? Pelosi’s got nothing to say either. Even Hillary isn’t running her piehole about how this is Trump weaponizing “out democracy”
They all know.
Defiant huh? Ship her Sammy az back to Somalia where she belongs. She’s scum. There is no way she can ever be an American. Deport her NOW!!
She’s a Muslim goat for her brother... Send the bxtch back to Somalia.
“Were you married to your brother?”
“Not to my knowledge.”
A Master Democrat at work. She learned from the very best.
Wow. Vote better.
Her real name is NOT Ilhan Smith ?
She didn’t look defiant last night in the Chris Hayes clip. More like a skinny that has run out of options and is in big, big trouble
obama and others who KNOWINGLY helped
her are traitors and belong in jail
They’ve been conspicuously quiet for a bunch of loudmouth broads.
If Sharia law was applied to her in Somalia she would be killed. Odd is it not, she then has a valid reason to claim asylum. But fear not, many other nations would take her. El Salvador will. Once a criminal hell hole. Their president cleaned it up. Today it is a tropical paradise and safe.
Is whatshername old enough to be Barry Soetoro’s daughter????
You’re complicating things. One family crisis at a time, please.
HOORAY Federal agents!
“like a skinny that has run out of options and is in big, big trouble”
***********
She’ll still be here ten years from now. Not only that, there’s a good chance she’ll soon be chairing some congressional committee. Our system is not one that imposes accountability on people belonging to one of the many protected groups in this country.
Nothing will happen to her. She’ll be reelected and back in Congress in January
I know people think that phrase allows wiggle room but I don’t see how. that is an equivalent way of saying no. Her lack of knowledge has no bearing on anything. Adding that phrase to a lie doesn’t make it not a lie it just makes you look stupid as well as guilty
“Ilhan Omar’s name is not Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected.”
Rapid Response 47
The White House@RapidResponse47.@POTUS: It was just revealed that Ilhan Omar’s name is not Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected.
Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, her real name, has openly admitted to FRAUD — and she will not be legally allowed to be a Member of this august body from this point forth!
