Wait, this started back in 2016 and just got quietly dropped in 2021? That part's the bit nobody mentions.
Obama admin first launched the investigation into Ilhan Omar's alleged brother marriage
The investigation into whether Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., married her brother in an alleged immigration fraud scheme in 2009 began under former President Barack Obama in 2016, Fox News Digital has confirmed.
Sources previously told Fox News Digital that Omar's "real name" is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. In a federal court document, she was called "Ilhan Omar Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Omar."
In 2009, Omar, then a U.S. citizen, legally married a man with that surname, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. The pair officially split in 2017. The New York Times first reported that Obama's FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began the probe in the summer of 2016, and that officials "found some evidence that [the marriage] was fraudulent." The Times reported that the investigation concluded when officials decided the potential felony crime was past the statute of limitations. OMAR’S DELETED TWEET COULD GIVE CLUE ON ALLEGED MARRIAGE TO HER BROTHER
Despite his own administration's investigation into Omar at the time she was running for the Minnesota House, Obama condemned the renewed probe, which included a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raid on her Washington, D.C. home on Oct. 12. Federal authorities confiscated her passport, personal phone and computer in the raid. "It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say," Obama wrote in an X post after the raid earlier this month. "But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota."
OBAMA'S LENGTHY REACTION TO OMAR INVESTIGATION TRIGGERS INSTANT BACKLASH: 'SPARE ME'
Obama claimed the Trump administration was targeting Omar because she is a vocal critic of the current president. "Think about that," Obama said in the post. "The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president."
175 DEMOCRATS DEMAND TRUMP ADMIN STOP ILHAN OMAR INVESTIGATION, WARN IT COULD HURT HER RE-ELECTION BID
Omar has frequently called the allegations that she married her brother a conspiracy theory promulgated by the political right, including in a statement to Fox News Digital regarding the new investigation last week. "Rep. Omar has repeatedly and unequivocally denied this baseless, disgusting conspiracy theory," an Omar spokesperson said. "This is a desperate political smear designed to distract from Trump’s failed presidency and two years of Republican failure in Congress. And it’s disgraceful that the media continues to give this lie oxygen."
The same spokesperson did not immediately respond to a Thursday morning request for comment. Fox News Digital's Andrew Mark Miller contributed to this report.

A U.S. Attorney in Minnesota, appointed by then-President Joe Biden, eventually shut down the probe in 2021, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital. Now, the issue has been thrust back into the spotlight as part of a new federal investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman, part of which centers on whether she or her father committed immigration fraud on her application to become a U.S. citizen.

Oof, that quote aging like milk in the sun. Honestly though, paperwork her dad filled out when she was a kid? Feels messy either way.
Omar raid outrage goes from bad to worse when internet notices her past 6-word claim: 'Couldn't agree more'
Reactions immediately started pouring in after federal authorities raided the Washington, D.C., home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., with many on social media pointing to a previous claim from Omar that "no one" is above the law.
"Rather than issue our own statement, we'll defer to Rep. Omar," the Minnesota Republican Party posted on X. "She said it best back in 2023, when the subject of a criminal investigation was someone else."
"We couldn't agree more, Congresswoman. We're sure you still feel the same way now that it's your front door. Minnesotans will be watching closely, and so will we."
"No one is above the law," the Trump War Room account posted on X. "It was an authorized search warrant approved by a federal judge as part of a criminal investigation," conservative influencer LibsofTikTok posted on X. "No one is above the law."
"Ilhan Omar was right," Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X. "Nobody is above the law."
"No one is above the law," Charlie Kirk Show executive producer Andrew Kolvet posted on X. "(And etting [sic] lectured by a Somali about the rule of law is rich. Not as rich as Rep. Omar was before she revised her financial statements, but rich.)"
"So much for ‘no one is above the law,’" conservative commentator Viva Frei posted on X. CAUGHT ON CAMERA: SQUAD DEM SQUIRMS WHEN PRESSED ON VANCE DOJ FRAUD PROBE
Omar released a response to the raid accusing the Trump administration of improperly targeting her. "I’m ok," Omar wrote on X hours after the search commenced. "Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement."
"For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns," she continued. "This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced."
Fox News Digital reached out to Omar’s office for comment. "Today in the Washington, D.C., area, Homeland Security Investgations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal investigation," a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The DOJ later added that the investigation was "criminal" in nature.

Omar’s home was raided by agents with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) investigation unit in the early Monday morning hours, Fox News Digital first reported, in a search that stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child. Omar has been under fire for months and faced a myriad of controversies during her time in Congress, most recently, her financial disclosures have come into focus, and questions have been raised by top officials about her path to citizenship as well. Many on social media were quick to point to a previous comment from Omar where she declared that "no one is above the law" after Trump was indicted in a hush money case that conservatives argued was based on flimsy evidence and a political prosecution.

Ok this one's got my jaw on the floor, a whole crowd chanting that is a lot. Where's everybody landing on it?
Trump rally crowd chants 'deport' as president rips Ilhan Omar after federal raid
And Ohio crowd chanted "deport" as President Donald Trump blasted Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., during a campaign rally speech on Monday night.
"She's a disaster. She comes in from a country without laws, without police, without military. All they do is shoot each other, and she comes into our country and she says, 'I have a constitutional right,'" Trump joked. "She's got a constitutional right. She's telling us about the Constitution and she's coming from one of the worst countries anywhere on the planet."
He then targeted "savage Somali gang members" who opened fire at a Minnesota high school's homecoming event last week, going on to reference the FBI's arrest of another Somali immigrant who was allegedly planning an ISIS-style attack on the Mall of America. FORMER MN STATE TROOPER TEARS INTO DEMS AS SOMALI GANG VIOLENCE TERRORIZES MINNESOTA: ‘WHERE IS ILHAN OMAR?’
"This is not what we want in this country. We don't want this," Trump said as the crowd started to chant "deport."
"They come from a part of the world that only knows how to kill each other. All they do is kill each other in the streets, and they come into the United States of America and they tell us how to run our country," he added.

Its scope includes investigating cross-border crime and global threats, including human trafficking and child sexual exploitation, drug smuggling and cybercrime. HSI plays a major front-line role in America’s counterterrorism operations. "I’m ok," Omar wrote on X hours after the search commenced.
