An anonymous family friend has claimed Ilhan Omar’s first husband was deeply upset when Ahmed Nur Said Elmi moved to Minnesota. The source alleged Ahmed Hirsi described Elmi as Omar’s brother and said his arrival caused repeated arguments inside the family. The friend also claimed Hirsi was embarrassed by Elmi’s appearance and lifestyle, using harsh language to describe him at the time. According to the source, Hirsi believed Omar had legally married Elmi to help him obtain immigration papers in the United States. Those allegations have circulated for years, but Omar has repeatedly denied that Elmi was her brother or that the marriage was fraudulent.
