No public record showing that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (the man conspiracy theories call Omar’s “brother”) has been summoned, flagged, or ordered to update immigration documentation.

The claim is not currently verified by any official source.

It originates from social-media rumors, amplified primarily

Who Is the “Former Brother-In-Law”?

The man in question is:

Ahmed Nur Said Elmi
– legally married Omar from 2009–2017
– no criminal charges in the U.S.
– has lived in the United Kingdom since 2011
– did not obtain a green card from the marriage
– has no known U.S. immigration status to “re-register”

Because he is not a U.S. resident, it would be legally impossible for ICE or USCIS to summon him to a U.S. immigration office today.

❌ The “Brother” Claim Has Never Been Proven

Extensive investigations over the last 7 years—by both Republican and Democratic officials—have found no evidence that Elmi is Omar’s biological brother.

Investigations include:

Minnesota Department of Public Safety

Minnesota Campaign Finance Board

FBI inquiry (closed with no action)

ICE/USCIS review (no findings)

Multiple independent journalists

Fact-checkers such as AP, Reuters, Snopes, and Factually.co all classify the “married her brother” claim as unproven and unsupported by any documentation.

The only “evidence” ever cited is:

anonymous forum posts from 2016

deeply flawed, unverifiable “DNA reports” circulated by partisan blogs

mismatched family tree speculation

None meet any legal or evidentiary standard.

❌ No Known “Re-Registration” Requirement Exists

To be ordered to “re-register” immigration documents, a person must actually have a current U.S. immigration status.

Elmi:

is not a TPS holder

is not a green card holder

is not an asylum seeker

is not a visa overstayer

is not residing in the U.S.

Therefore, nothing exists for DHS to “re-register.”

This is why no official agency is making or confirming such a request.

❗Where the Rumor Likely Came From

The claim appears to originate from right-wing Telegram channels, X accounts, and small websites that frequently publish unverifiable headlines designed to inflame the long-running Omar marriage conspiracy.

It spread simultaneously with:

Trump’s November 2025 posts attacking Omar,

the Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota,

renewed demands from MAGA influencers to “denaturalize” Omar,

calls to deport Somali TPS holders.

It also reflects a misunderstanding of Trump’s policy announcement ordering DHS to review green cards from certain “high-risk countries.”
Elmi is not a green card holder—and not even in the U.S.—so this cannot apply.

⚖️ Could This Become Real in the Future?

Only if:

New evidence emerges proving immigration fraud (none exists), and

Elmi is physically in the U.S. (he is not), and

He has a current immigration status needing review (he does not).

Even then, the process would take years, involve federal judges, and require clear and convincing evidence.

This is why repeated attempts to legally attack Omar’s citizenship or immigration history have gone nowhere.

⭐ Final Assessment

✔ Claim is unverified
✔ No agency has issued any such order
✔ No public record supports it
✔ Elmi is not legally or geographically in a position to be summoned
✔ It is part of a recycled political narrative, not a documented event
