Official School Records Support Claims That Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother
https://pjmedia.com/davidsteinberg/...that-rep-ilhan-omar-d-mn-married-her-brother/
"According to official student enrollment records archived by St. Paul Public Schools and the state of Minnesota, an “Ahmed N. Elmi” was enrolled as a senior in the Class of 2003 at Arlington Senior High School in St. Paul, MN, from September 6, 2002, until June 10, 2003. He graduated and received a diploma.
The enrollment record states that “Ahmed N. Elmi” was born on April 4, 1985.
Both Ilhan Omar’s 2009 marriage documents and her 2017 divorce proceedings state that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was born on April 4, 1985.
After an extensive background search, I have not been able to find any other person named “Ahmed Nur Said Elmi,” “Ahmed N. Elmi,” or even “Ahmed Elmi” with the birthdate April 4, 1985. The man Ilhan Omar married and the 17- to 18-year-old who attended Arlington Senior High School in St. Paul, MN, in 2002-2003 are one and the same."
STATEMENT FROM ILHAN OMAR
“A number of baseless rumors have been made recently about my personal life and family. I will
say it again here: they are absolutely false and ridiculous.
That said, I will offer clarity and share a difficult part of my personal history that I did not
consider relevant in the context of a political campaign, so that we can put these rumors to rest
and return to what really matters: how we join together to build a more prosperous and equitable
district and state.
In 2002, when I was 19 years old, Ahmed Hirsi (whose name before he received citizenship was
Ahmed Aden), the father of my children and love of my life, and I, applied for a marriage license,
but we never finalized the application and thus were never legally married. In 2008, we decided
to end our relationship in our faith tradition after reaching an impasse in our life together.
I entered into a relationship with a British citizen, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, and married him legally
in 2009. Our relationship ended in 2011 and we divorced in our faith tradition. After that, he
moved home to England. I have yet to legally divorce Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, but am in the
process of doing so. Insinuations that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi is my brother are absurd and
offensive.
Since 2011, I am happy to say that I have reconciled with Ahmed Hirsi, we have married in our
faith tradition and are raising our family together. Like all families, we have had our ups and
downs but we are proud to have come through it together.
I appreciate the countless messages of support I have received from the people of 60B and
beyond who understand how difficult and deeply personal this has been for my family and
especially my children. I remain honored to be a part of a campaign that is uniting the diverse
voices of our district – long term residents, East African immigrants and students.”
