Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., lashed out at President Donald Trump on Friday after he accused her of using a fake name and revived longstanding allegations surrounding her former marriage.
"The pedophile protection party's president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history," Omar wrote on X.
"Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine," she continued. "So let's make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar."
Omar then turned her fire on Vice President JD Vance, adding, "Maybe you should focus on what your VP's real name is."
The verbal pushback came as Trump called on Omar to resign from Congress Thursday after Fox News Digital reported that Omar's birth name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, according to two people familiar with the ongoing federal investigation, including a law enforcement source.
A Justice Department court filing this week, related to a search warrant for her Washington-area home, identified the Minnesota Democrat as "Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."
Omar's office disputed Fox News Digital's reporting, insisting, "Ilhan Omar is her real name." Omar has not been charged with a crime.
"It was just revealed that Ilhan Omar's name is not Ilhan Omar," Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday, accusing the congresswoman of using a "fake name" and calling for her immediate resignation. Trump also revived longstanding allegations that Omar's former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is her brother — claims Omar has repeatedly denied. He pointed out that the name used in the DOJ filings matched that of the man she allegedly married and is related to.
When asked during an MS NOW interview this week whether there was any familial relationship with Elmi, Omar responded, "Not to my knowledge." Her spokesperson later said the answer was sarcastic and reiterated that Omar "repeatedly and unequivocally" denied the allegation.
Federal investigators are probing whether Omar or her father made false statements on immigration paperwork.
Agents searched Omar's Washington, D.C., residence earlier this month and seized her cellphone and passport, while her sister has also been questioned as part of the investigation, Fox News Digital previously reported.

During an appearance on Fox News Channel's "Jesse Watters Primetime," U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro discussed the investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) about her immigration status and the possibility of "public corrution."
Valora que el procedimiento judicial en su contra es impulsado desde el entorno gubernamental y procura asustar a la gente para que no quiera participar en las elecciones del 3 de noviembre.
EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital that he plans to pursue an effort to expel Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., if the Justice Department finds her guilty of immigration fraud.
Fine, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, made the comments after Fox News Digital reported that a federal court filing identified Omar under the name "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi," also listing "Ilhan Abdullahi Omar" as an alias. The filing has raised questions about Omar’s identity and immigration records but does not establish that she committed fraud.
"I assume that she’s not a citizen, so we might not even have to do that," Fine said. "You can’t be in Congress if you’re not a citizen of the United States, but if it isn’t automatic, I absolutely will demand expulsion immediately."
Omar is a naturalized U.S. citizen. She was born in Somalia and became a U.S. citizen in 2000. She has denied wrongdoing and called the investigation politically motivated.
Fine said Democrats would attempt to block any Republican effort to censure or expel Omar.
"I don’t think Democrats think you should have to be American. They don’t believe in borders," Fine said. "They’ve made that clear. They don’t believe in America."
The House has the constitutional authority to expel a member, but doing so requires a two-thirds vote. A criminal investigation or allegation alone does not automatically remove a member from Congress.
Fine also criticized Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., who in September introduced the Reimagining Safety Act, legislation that would dismantle the Department of Homeland Security and abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, while preserving some of its functions under a new agency, the Department of Community Safety.
"Look at this bill filed by the congresswoman from Chicago, where she doesn’t believe we should have borders, border protection or the ability to deport anyone," Fine said.
Fine also criticized Democrats who have called the Justice Department’s investigation into Omar politically motivated, pointing to the separate inquiry into her financial disclosures. The investigation into her finances began under former President Joe Biden in 2024, a detail that Fine claimed Democrats have intentionally overlooked.
"Democrats don't get held accountable for anything, and they agree on this agenda that is anti-American and anti-citizen," Fine continued.
Omar’s Washington, D.C., residence was searched by Homeland Security Investigations agents on Oct. 12 as part of a federal investigation into possible false statements on immigration and naturalization documents. Federal authorities have also issued grand jury subpoenas to members of Omar’s family and seized her cellphone, according to The Associated Press.
"I am trying to figure out the way to do this." Those words from MS NOW's Chris Hayes say all you need to know (and likely all you will get) from his interview on Wednesday with Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. There is a litany of questions the liberal host never asked of Omar. Those questions have only increased over the years, leading to the current criminal investigation into immigration fraud. At points, Hayes sounded more like a supplicant than a journalist given his discomfort with asking pressing questions.
The interview had the journalistic nutritional content of a Slurpee that would give any liberal a sugar high and any non-liberal a stomachache.
Many of us have stressed that these allegations are unproven, and that little evidence has been confirmed to support the underlying criminal charges. However, I have also written that Omar has been remarkably unforthcoming in rebutting the allegations or providing her own exculpatory information. Instead, she has spent years denouncing the allegations as racist or Islamophobic without addressing the specific claims.
While the Biden administration began aspects of these investigations years ago, Omar again sat for another prolonged interview without being pressed (beyond cursory questions) about long-standing allegations.
Hayes exhaustively explored Omar's feelings and reactions to the recent search while largely avoiding any detailed questions about the very allegations that a Washington, D.C., judge found sufficient to show probable cause of criminal conduct.
It may be useful to consider 10 questions not asked of Ilhan Omar. Asking these questions is not to assume that the underlying claims are true, but to establish the facts from Omar's perspective.
Immigration fraud
It took 12 minutes for Hayes to mention immigration fraud, and he did so by asking her, "How seriously do you take it?" He then prefaced the fraud question with a laugh, saying, "I am trying to figure out the way to do this that doesn't sound like I'm insane."
Hayes then laughed further with Omar about questions of marriage fraud and said, "There are right-wing people who believe" these allegations, after Omar agreed that such questions are "insane."
Hayes made a series of statements about how "there is not even a kernel of truth" to these claims before inviting affirmations from Omar. He then made a general reference to "moving on to other allegations" without any details.
It has been alleged that you are not using your birth name and the government is referring to you as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar." What was your name at birth, and have you ever legally changed your name? Are you using a name that is different from your birth name or your birth certificate?
You stated in the interview that the government did not remove DNA evidence. Various legal experts have said for years that such samples could put the allegation of marrying a relative to rest. Have you ever offered a simple DNA swab and, if not, why?
Have you had any contact with your former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, directly or indirectly, since becoming a member of Congress?
Your father was reportedly a colonel in a brutal Somali regime. Is that true, and did your father fully report his Somali background when applying for citizenship? Also, have you ever confirmed the information your father submitted, and if not, why not?
You stated that the issue in this case is whether you, as a 12-year-old child, were a mastermind of a fraud. However, that is not the allegation, correct? The allegation is that you obtained citizenship through your father's naturalization after he represented that you were 17 years old and did not have to file for your own citizenship. Was that accurate, or were you, in fact, 18 years old at the time?
Your staff reportedly tried to change your birthdate after your election to Congress on federal sites. Did you order this effort, or were you aware of it?
Do you have conflicting documents showing that you were, in fact, 18 years old when you became a citizen?
Reports indicate that this investigation changed after your sister sent you messages and that she is now cooperating with federal investigators. Are you aware of what those messages were, and what did she say in them?
In the interview, when Hayes moved on to Omar's previous financial disclosure that she and her husband were worth $30 million before dropping to a little over $100,000, he again failed to address allegations that the drop in income was due to fraud. Instead, he asked about her "lifestyle," then moved on to ask what it is like to be one of the least wealthy members of Congress.
Questions not asked:
There are reports that the decline in your income was due to a drop in the value of your husband's winery because of fraudulent practices, including selling empty barrels to investors under the guise of "wine to be aged." Was that the reason for the adjustment, and when were you first informed of these fraud allegations?
Your sister Sahra Noor reportedly listed a Minnesota home address when creating her Grit Partners Consulting business, which received millions in government contracts. That same address was used as a residence by figures convicted in the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme. Were you or your sister involved in or aware of the fraudulent activities of Feeding Our Future? Have you ever intervened or taken any action in connection with your sister's contracts or those of Feeding Our Future?
If Omar had answered them, any of these questions would have produced a scoop, but that was clearly not the purpose of this interview. Instead, Hayes spent more time asking Omar how she felt about former President Barack Obama defending her than asking about the specific fraud allegations she faces.
El líder del PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, ha asegurado en una entrevista en Cadena SER que es feminista porque “se ha criado en una casa con más mujeres que hombres”. El presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, le ha contestado con un mensaje en X: “Feijóo es tan feminista que propone cargarse el Ministerio de Igualdad y recortar el derecho de las mujeres a decidir sobre su propio cuerpo. Criarse entre mujeres no te hace feminista. Defender sus derechos, sí”. También el ministro para la Transformación Digital, Óscar López, ha respondido a las declaraciones del líder popular, en este caso sobre el salario mínimo, que los populares proponen negociar con la patronal. “En este país, en los últimos ocho años se ha subido ocho veces el salario mínimo; de las ocho, solo una ha contado con el apoyo de la patronal, es decir, si lo dejáramos en la mano de la patronal, no subiría el salario mínimo”, ha recordado López. El líder popular también ha asegurado en Cadena SER que su objetivo es echar a Pedro Sánchez del Gobierno porque le considera “un personaje tóxico y conflictivo”. Feijóo ha añadido que intentará gobernar aunque el PP no sea la lista más votada y ha confirmado que, si lo necesita, pactará el Gobierno con Vox, como ha hecho en varias comunidades autónomas.
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar will move out of her Washington, D.C., home that federal agents searched last week, she said Wednesday, noting that attention brought on by the raid has made her feel unsafe there.
“Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is under investigation for potential immigration fraud that could have major consequences, and Senator Slotkin of Michigan is warning Republicans not to work for Trump, or they might be investigated,” asks Peter Schweizer. “Is this political targeting? Is it all the same?”
Neymar contou o que fará no ano posterior à aposentadoria dos gramados. O craque ainda não decidiu até quando irá jogar futebol, mas já avisou que terá um período sabático ao “pendurar as chuteiras”.
“Obviamente, quando eu parar, eu vou ficar um ano sem fazer p… nenhuma. Eu vou fazer assim: hoje eu estou com vontade de jogar bola, eu vou jogar bola. Hoje eu não estou com vontade de fazer p… nenhuma”, disse Neymar, em entrevista ao canal “Varanda Gourmet”.
O jogador ainda enfatizou a motivação para continuar jogando, mas salientou que não gosta de acompanhar partidas de futebol.
“Não, não gosto. Basquete, eu gosto, mas só de vez em quando também. Eu passo raiva (assistindo futebol)”, declarou.
“Quando eu falo nas entrevistas e com amigos, ninguém acreditava em mim. Eu amo futebol, mas amo jogar. Sentar no sofá, ligar a TV e assistir a um jogo não dá. Quando os meninos moravam comigo em Paris e Barcelona, era de sábado e domingo só futebol na TV. Eu ficava puto, nem ficava na sala. Das 11h às 18h vendo futebol… Eu não aguento”, prosseguiu.
Por outro lado, o jogador consome outros programas relacionados ao futebol. “Documentário eu assisto. O último que vi de atleta foi o do Beckham. Sabe o que estou assistindo? O Mentalista”, contou.
Neymar tem contrato com o Santos até o final deste ano. A equipe paulista volta a campo no sábado (24), contra o Bahia, na Vila Belmiro, pela 32ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.
Ilhan Omar is not the "real name" of the Minnesota congresswoman, Fox News Digital has learned.
Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, according to two people familiar with the ongoing investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman, including a law enforcement source.
And if proven in court that Omar has lived her "entire life under an alias," a former Minnesota federal immigration judge tells Fox News Digital that every single form she ever filled out could be "called into question."
On Wednesday, U.S. District Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro filed a motion seeking to prevent the federal search warrant for the congresswoman’s home from being unsealed, which was requested by several media outlets. The motion says the federal government is not yet finished executing the search warrant, and that it shouldn’t be unsealed yet.
"Before the Court are three Applications to unseal ex parte materials and proceedings related to a federal search warrant for the personal residence in the District of Columbia of Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar…" the motion begins.
"That's not her real name," one source said when asked why the motion used the "a/k/a Ilhan Adbullahi Omar" language.
After publication, a spokesperson from Omar's office provided a statement to Fox News Digital disputing the report.
"This is completely false. Ilhan Omar is her real name," the spokesperson said, followed by an attack on Fox News.
In a second statement, Omar's spokesperson referenced Wednesday night's interview on MS NOW, where Omar answered questions about whether she ever married her brother.
"Rep. Omar has repeatedly and unequivocally denied this baseless, disgusting conspiracy theory. She denied it again on MS NOW—and when pressed yet again, responded sarcastically." the spokesperson said. She called those questions a "desperate smear to distract from designed to distract from Trump’s failed presidency and two years of Republican failure in Congress."
The spokesperson said it's "disgraceful that the media continues to give this lie oxygen."
Fox News Digital first reported in the midst of the search of the lawmaker's Washington, D.C. residence that federal investigators are probing whether she or her father committed fraud when filling out her immigration paperwork.
Investigators obtained the elected official’s DNA and seized her personal phone and passport during the Oct. 12 pre-dawn raid.
Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, was questioned by federal investigators last week in relation to the probe, Fox News Digital exclusively reported.
Conservative personality Will Chamberlain first posted the motion on X speculating that the "DOJ believes [Omar] is present in the United States under a false identity."
Fox News Digital has now learned from multiple sources familiar with the investigation that Omar is not the congresswoman’s birth name.
Omar has publicly confirmed that she does not have a birth certificate.
In an official U.S. House biography, her birthday is listed as Oct. 14, 1982, and states that she was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. She says she came to the U.S. with her family as refugees fleeing war-torn Somalia in 1995, when she was a minor.
Omar has not been charged with a crime, and materials presented by prosecutors are only allegations.
Attorneys for the embattled congresswoman did not return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Nathan Hansen, a former federal immigration judge from Minnesota, listed the extent to which the supposed name change could impact the case against the congresswoman.
"You think of all the types of documents somebody like her might have filled out," he said. "There'd be federal student loan and student aid applications, maybe federal housing related applications, maybe public assistance applications, passport applications, passport information and driver's license information, Real I.D. information [and] voting information."
He said if someone has lived their entire lives under an alias, there are many criminal charges that could be levied.
"Sometimes they might say that that would be a wire fraud charge, they always add that one," said Hansen. "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," Hansen said.
The representative for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District in the U.S. House, has long faced allegations that she married her brother for immigration purposes.
In 2009, she legally married a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. The pair split in 2017. The following year, she was elected to Congress. In 2020, she married her third husband, political consultant Tim Mynett.
In Omar's first public interview since the raid on her home, she sat down with MS NOW’s Chris Hayes. During that interview, she once again denied those allegations, calling them "insane."
"You’re not related to him at all?" Hayes asked. "There’s not some weird kernel of truth…?"
"Not to my knowledge," she replied.
In the wake of the raid, Omar has accused President Donald Trump and his administration of targeting her politically.
"This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies," she said in a statement on X.
"For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back," the post continued. "Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies."
