Escalation: Federal investigators renew scrutiny of Omar's marriage
Federal investigators have revived their probe into whether Rep. Ilhan Omar entered a sham marriage in 2009 to help British citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi obtain permanent residency in the United States. The FBI and Homeland Security examined the same marriage in the summer of 2016 and found some evidence of fraud, but no charges were brought because the conduct was considered too old to prosecute.
The renewed inquiry is again testing claims that Elmi is her brother and that the marriage was arranged for immigration benefits. The marriage question is now a focus of an active federal review of her immigration history.
