Overview

  • White House border czar Tom Homan said an HSI fraud investigator is pulling Omar-related files for review and that he is running down the request this week.
  • DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the department takes marriage-fraud allegations very seriously and pledged continued vigilance.
  • President Trump repeated at a rally that Omar “married her brother” and suggested she should be deported, while Omar denounced his remarks as bigoted lies.
  • Multiple fact-checkers have found no verifiable evidence for the sibling allegation, and there have been no marriage-fraud charges against Omar or Ahmed Elmi.
  • Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar’s former husband, has resurfaced on social media posting from Johannesburg, a development that has renewed attention without providing proof of fraud.
