Washington D.C., December 2, 2025<\/strong> \u2014 Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again targeted Representative Ilhan Omar (Minnesota), repeating a long-debunked allegation that the Somali-American congresswoman married her \u201cbrother\u201d to secure immigration and U.S. citizenship. The renewed attack comes amid a broader hardline immigration rhetoric and has drawn sharp reactions from supporters of Omar and civil-rights groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During a public appearance, Trump said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIlhan Omar \u2026 who probably came into the USA illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother \u2026 does nothing but hatefully complain about our country \u2026 We should throw her the hell out of our country.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n He framed the unproven allegation as evidence of immigration fraud, calling for her expulsion from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short \u2014 there is no credible, verified evidence to support the claim that Omar married her brother or committed immigration fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump\u2019s latest comments are widely interpreted as a political tactic aimed at mobilizing his conservative base. Omar \u2014 a founding member of the progressive caucus known as \u201cThe Squad\u201d \u2014 frequently draws criticism from Trump and his supporters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Civil-rights groups and Democratic leaders have condemned Trump\u2019s remarks, warning that such rhetoric fuels Islamophobia, xenophobia, and poses serious threats to the safety and dignity of Muslim Americans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite renewed attention, the claim that Ilhan Omar married her brother remains a harmful rumor, not a proven fact. Independent investigations, media scrutiny, and fact-checks uniformly reject the allegation as unsubstantiated. The repeated use of the claim in political rhetoric underscores not only persistent misinformation but also systemic targeting of minority public figures based on unverified personal attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Washington D.C., December 2, 2025 \u2014 Former U.S. President Donald Trump has once again targeted Representative Ilhan Omar (Minnesota), repeating a long-debunked allegation that the Somali-American congresswoman married her \u201cbrother\u201d to secure immigration and U.S. citizenship.
