Donald Trump demanded Ilhan Omar's resignation from Congress in a Truth Social post on Thursday, 22 October 2026, citing unsubstantiated allegations that she entered office under a false name and married her brother.
The demand followed a 21 October Justice Department filing identifying Omar as 'Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar'. Prosecutors did not explain the designation, and the filing did not establish fraud. Omar's office disputed the identity allegation, insisting that Ilhan Omar is her real name.
