Turns out the brother-sister marriage between Ilhan Omar and her Ahmed Nur Said Elmi occured ten years ago, the same year Obama was first inaugurated. Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the brother of Omar is a British citizen and was living in public housing in Minnesota years ago. He was eventually evicted and went back to the UK. Oh and there’s another thing. Sibling marriage is against the law in Minnesota, yet the brother and sister were married in Hennepin County, Minnesota. I guess they looked the other way when it came to Ilhan Omar and her brother bride Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Today would have been their 10 year anniversary.

The post further notes that Omar married her brother Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009, implying that the latter marriage assisted his entry into the United States. Her brother was a British citizen. “As soon as Ilhan Omar married him,” the post continues, “he started university at her [a]lma mater North Dakota State University where he graduated in 2012. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Minneapolis where he was living in a public housing complex and was later evicted. He then returned to the United Kingdom where he now lives.”
Let me note here that Omar’s marriage to her brother, if it occurred in fact, is illegal under Minnesota law. I believe it would be void ab initio, as though it never occurred. If it occurred, I infer that it must have taken place for dishonest purposes.
Any such second marriage might be bigamous as well as fraudulent. That is not clear to me. Minnesota law defines bigamy as “knowingly having a prior marriage that is not dissolved” while also “contract[ing] a marriage in this state.” Bigamy is a crime punishable by up to five years in prison or a fine up to $10,000. The definition and penalty provisions of the crime of bigamy are set forth in Minn. Stat. § 609.355.
