Original Note:
There is no evidence outside social media of this ever happening. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ilhan-omar-marry-brother/ https://www.tampabay.com/nation-world/politifact-did-ilhan-omar-marry-her-brother-the-minneapolis-star-tribune-investigated-and-heres-what-they-found-20190719/ https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/jul/18/did-ilhan-omar-marry-her-brother-her-hometown-news/ Siblings of other citizens can already become citizens of the USA. So not only is this unfounded, it doesn't even make sense. If Ahmed Elmi was truly Omar's brother, he wouldn't even need to marry her. https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-us-citizens/bringing-siblings-to-live-in-the-united-states-as-permanent-residents
