US Representative Ilhan Omar responded sharply to President Donald Trump on Friday after he accused her of using a false identity, as his administration seeks to have the Minnesota congresswoman deported. In a post on Truth Social, Trump cited a US Department of Justice (DOJ) court filing that referred to Omar as ‘Ilhan Nur Said Elmi’ without providing an explanation for the name.&nbsp;“It was just revealed that Ilhan Omar’s name is not Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected and sworn into Congress, but rather, it’s an entirely different name, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and that her last name is, incredibly, also the exact name of her brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the person they said she married and had children with,” Trump wrote on Thursday night, referencing another unproven conspiracy theory that Omar has long denied. “Because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress. Please inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, that the Dumocrat Party has just conceded her seat.”&nbsp;A spokesperson for Omar told Fox News that the allegation that she had been living under an alias was completely false. Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul reported that the 44-year-old congresswoman had used the name ‘Ilhan Omar’ as early as age 17, when she appeared under that name in her Edison High School yearbook as a junior. The Associated Press also found that she had used the name Ilhan Omar in marriage licenses, divorce proceedings, voter registrations and other public records dating back nearly two decades.&nbsp;Responding to Trump's remarks, Omar accused him of promoting conspiracy theories and criticised the Justice Department. “The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history,” Omar wrote on social media. “Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.” “Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is,” she added, referring to Vice President JD Vance, who was born James Donald Bowman and has legally changed his name twice.<h2>See what Ilhan Omar posted on X</h2>

According to reports, the investigation is focused not on allegations involving Omar's brother but on whether she or members of her family provided false information during their immigration process and subsequent acquisition of US citizenship. Investigators are reportedly examining whether Omar or her father falsified her birth date, listing her as 17 instead of 18 so she could obtain citizenship through him as a minor. Omar has not been charged with a crime, and investigators have not publicly presented evidence supporting the allegation.<h2>Trump continues attacks on Omar</h2>Trump has repeatedly made attacks against Somali Americans during his presidency, calling for their deportation and describing them as ‘garbage’ with ‘low IQs’. His efforts to target Omar for deportation have frequently included remarks about her Somali heritage. Speaking at a campaign rally in Iowa this week, Trump criticised the congresswoman and her country of origin. “She’s been a scammer for a long time. I’m pretty good at watching that stuff, and she comes from a non-country, basically. Somalia has no government, has no nothing,” he said during the rally. “All they do is run around shooting each other. Then she comes over here.”&nbsp;Meanwhile, Representative Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida, announced plans to introduce a resolution on Friday seeking Omar's expulsion from Congress if she is found to have broken the law. Fine has previously described Omar as a 'terrorist' and called for the mass deportation of all Muslim immigrants from the United States.

<h2>So, what is Ilhan Omar's real name?</h2>According to a Fox News Digital report, citing unidentified sources familiar with an ongoing investigation into Congresswoman Omar's name at birth is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. The report claims that "Ilhan Omar" is not her real name.The reporting also leans on a court filing. On Wednesday, US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro moved to keep the federal search warrant for Omar's home sealed, arguing the government has not finished executing it. The motion refers to "Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar." One source told the outlet, "That's not her real name."A former Minnesota federal immigration judge, Nathan Hansen, said that if it were proven in court that she had lived her entire life under an alias, every form she has ever filled out could be called into question, from student aid and housing applications to passport and voter records, many of them sworn under penalty of perjury.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/ilhan-omar-breaks-silence-over-alleged-marriage-to-her-brother-1792647466354">Ilhan Omar breaks silence over alleged marriage to her brother</a><h2>Why is Trump after Omar? The raid and more</h2>Federal investigators are probing whether Omar or her father committed fraud on her immigration paperwork. During an October 12 pre-dawn raid, they obtained her DNA and seized her phone and passport. Her sister, Sahra Noor, was questioned last week. Omar has confirmed publicly that she does not have a birth certificate, and her House biography lists her as born in Mogadishu on October 14, 1982, arriving in the US as a refugee in 1995.She has not been charged with any crime, and the material presented by prosecutors remains allegations.Omar has long faced allegations that she married her brother for immigration purposes. In a 2009 marriage she wed a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, and the pair split in 2017. In her first interview since the raid, she told MS NOW's Chris Hayes that the allegation was "insane." Asked whether there was "some weird kernel of truth," she replied, "Not to my knowledge."She has accused Trump of weaponising federal law enforcement against a political rival, calling the raid "an outrageous abuse of power."&nbsp;

The whereabouts of US Representative Ilhan Omar have become a subject of political discussion in Minnesota ahead of the November midterm elections. The controversy follows reports of a federal investigation into alleged irregularities involving immigration paperwork and questions surrounding the four-term congresswoman's citizenship status.&nbsp;The situation reportedly intensified on October 12, when Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a search at Omar's residence in Washington, DC. Her reported absence from public appearances since the incident has further fueled speculation about the investigation. According to media reports, federal agents executed a court-authorized search warrant as part of an investigation into alleged fraud involving immigration documents.&nbsp;&nbsp;The New York Post also reported that DNA evidence was collected from the residence. However, the allegations and the reported investigative steps should not be interpreted as proof of wrongdoing.

President Donald Trump delivered a heated and controversial campaign-style speech in Florida on Friday (May 1), where he launched into a long attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar, using an unusual accent while mocking her and repeating unproven allegations circulating in conservative circles. In an imitation that sounded like a British accent, Trump appeared to mimic Omar. “I believe she married her brother, which is totally illegal,” Trump said. “It's a lovely couple, actually, but it's a little bit on the illegal side. ‘Darling. I love you very much.’ ‘Good night, brother. Let's go to bed.'&nbsp;The remarks were made at The Villages, the nation’s largest retirement community, where Trump was promoting what he described as achievements tied to his 2024 campaign promises, including Social Security tax relief. However, the legislation he referenced does not eliminate Social Security taxes. Instead, it provides additional deductions for seniors between 2025 and 2028, despite Trump previously campaigning on fully removing taxes on Social Security, tips, and overtime.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-s-qatar-gifted-boeing-747-clears-testing-set-for-air-force-one-debut-1777668200977">Trump’s Qatar-gifted Boeing 747 set for Air Force One debut after clearing tests</a><h2>Watch the video here of Trump mocking Ilhan Omar</h2>
