What if “Omar” isn’t her legal name? Ex-judge explains the stakes…and Trump weighs in as well

Every single form that ‘Ilhan Omar’ has ever filled out could be called into question if it is confirmed that the Minnesota congresswoman’s real name is not actually Ilhan Omar.

According to two Fox News sources, Ilhan Omar’s real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.

Former federal immigration judge from Minnesota Nathan Hansen told Fox that if Omar has lived her life under an alias, the case could expand significantly because every form she has ever filled out could be “called into question.”

“Sometimes they might say that would be a wire fraud charge; they always add that one,” Hansen told Fox.

“And that’s pretty broad. But, you know, a lot of these documents are sworn under penalty of perjury.”

“If this is not, like, a real legal name, it’s got some legal backing to it that every type of government form she’s filled out in her entire existence might be called into question.”

In a filing, prosecutors referred to the congresswoman as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar,” meaning the alleged last name she was born with, Elmi, “happens” to match her former husband’s.
