The FBI is reviewing claims Rep. Ilhan Omar, 36, married her brother, and will reportedly share their findings with ICE.
Two agents reportedly met with a source who had documents relating to the congresswoman’s marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, The New York Post reports.
Word on the curb is that Omar wed British citizen Elmi to help with his immigration to the United States.

The website Somalispot was first to report in 2016 that Omar and Elmi were siblings. According to the Daily Mail, the report said:
“As soon as Ilhan Omar married him he started university at her alma mater North Dakota State University where he graduated in 2012.
“Shortly thereafter, he moved to Minneapolis where he was living in a public housing complex and was later evicted. He then returned to the United Kingdom where he now lives.”
Due to a lack of records in war-torn Somalia, where Omar was born, the allegations that she married her brother have never been proven.
Omar’s office previously called the claims “baseless, absurd rumors.”
