Why Is Trump Questioning Ilhan Omar’s Name?

Donald Trump called on Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar to resign after a Justice Department filing referred to her as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.” The filing does not establish that Omar committed fraud, and she responded on X that her name has always been Ilhan Omar. The dispute comes amid a federal investigation into her immigration history and a search of her Washington, DC, home on October 12. Omar denies wrongdoing and says she plans to move out of the home because of safety concerns.
