And the plot thickens…. Why did Ilhan Omar delete this tweet wishing her father a Happy Father’s Day? Oh that’s right.. His name was “Nur Said” according to this now deleted tweet from 2013.
Ilhan Nur Said Elmi died in June of 2020.
A deleted 2013 social media post by Rep. Ilhan Omar has resurfaced amid reported federal scrutiny of her identity and immigration records.
In the June 2013 Father’s Day post, Omar wrote, “Happy Father’s Day to my aabo Nur Said,” expressing gratitude to Allah for her father.
However, other records, including a 2020 Congressional Black Caucus memorial, identify her father as Nur Omar Mohamed.
The name “Nur Said” also resembles part of the name of Omar’s former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.
The post was reportedly deleted on September 19, 2019.
The discrepancy has renewed questions about the names used in Omar’s family records, although the post alone does not establish wrongdoing.

Remember when Ilhan Omar deleted that 2013 tweet calling her father Nur Said?
That would make her name Ilhan Nur Said, and her ex-husband was Ahmed Nur Said, which means she did in fact marry her brother.
Fast forward to today, and the federal search warrant lists her as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, also known as Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”
OOF! She is soooo COOKED! 😬
