HUGE REVELATION: Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Congressional Staff Quietly Changed Her Birth Year After She Was Elected — Raising Explosive Questions About the Validity of Her U.S. Citizenship

A report claims Ilhan Omar’s staff changed her official birth year from 1981 to 1982 in May 2019, months after her election. This discrepancy could impact the validity of her U.S. citizenship, particularly regarding derivative citizenship laws. The revelation coincides with a federal criminal investigation into immigration documents potentially containing false statements, which Omar’s team claims is political retaliation.

• Ilhan Omar’s congressional staff reportedly requested a change in her birth year from 1981 to 1982 in May 2019.
• The original birth year of 1981 was listed in various public records, including the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library and Wikipedia.
• A change in birth year could have implications for derivative citizenship, which often depends on a child’s age at the time of a parent’s naturalization.
• A federal criminal investigation is reportedly underway, focusing on immigration documents related to Omar’s childhood.
• Omar has denounced the investigation as politically motivated retaliation by the Trump administration.
