He concluded: “Dismantle the Palestinian Authority, dismantle them! There cannot be a terrorist authority alongside the State of Israel.”

A federal court filing identifies Rep. Ilhan Omar as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar,” amid a criminal investigation into possible immigration fraud. Sources reportedly say her public name differs from her birth name. The filing’s use of “Nur Said Elmi” has drawn attention because her former husband is named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.

Investigators reportedly obtained Omar’s DNA and seized her passport and phone during the October 12 search. Asked whether she was related to her former husband, Omar said, “Not to my knowledge.” She denies wrongdoing and calls the investigation political intimidation.
