A friend of Rep.
Ilhan Omar went on the record and claimed that Omar tied the knot with her brother so she could get him into school in the United States.
The Daily Mail reported: “Abdihakim Osman is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States, at a time when she was married to her first husband Ahmed Hirsi.”
Osman said: “People began noticing that Ilhan and Southside (Hirsi) were often with a very effeminate young guy [Ahmed Elmi].
“He was very feminine in the way he dressed — he would wear light lipstick and pink clothes and very, very, short shorts in the summer. People started whispering about him.”
Osman went on: “[Hirsi] and Ilhan both told me it was Ilhan’s brother and he had been living in London but he was mixing with what were seen as bad influences that the family did not like. So they sent him to Minneapolis as ‘rehab’.”
Omar’s ‘friend’ continued: “She said she needed to get papers for her brother to go to school. We all thought she was just getting papers together to allow him to stay in this country.
“Once she had the papers they could apply for student loans. They both moved to North Dakota to go to school but she was still married to [Hirsi]. In the Somali way, the only marriage that mattered was the one in the mosque.
“When [Hirsi] and Ilhan got married, a lot of people were invited. It was a big Islamic wedding uniting two large clans in the Minneapolis community. When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it.”
Reports have surfaced indicating that the Department of Education, ICE and the FBI are reviewing the allegations made against Omar.
According to the Daily Mail, Omar refused to answer questions and that her spokesperson said Omar doesn’t answer questions regarding her personal life.
