Ilhan Omar is nicknamed 'World War Eleven' within the Trump administration, according to the Washington Post. World War Eleven is how Omar previously referred to World War II during a press conference. • According to reports, the investigation centers on allegations of misrepresentation/fraud by her father in the historical paperwork filed when she arrived in the US as a childhood refugee. It also scrutinizes claims that her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was a fraudulent arrangement with her biological brother to secure him immigration benefits. • If investigators determine that false statements were made on immigration forms, the congresswoman could face denaturalization and be sent back to Somalia.
