Ilhan Omar's Ex-Husband Describes Himself as Gay Amid Immigration Allegations
Ilhan Omar's ex-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, described himself as a 'gay man' in a 2024 academic paper, amid allegations that he is also Omar's brother and that their 2009 marriage was to secure his legal immigration status. Elmi, a doctoral researcher at the University of Bristol, left Minnesota in 2012, and their divorce was finalized in 2017. Omar denies any wrongdoing. Investigations into immigration fraud claims have occurred but faced legal limitations, and no conclusive evidence has led to charges.
