In a series of articles in 2018 and 2019, journalist David Steinberg argued that Omar's birth name was Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, that she fraudulently claimed membership in the Omar family to gain asylum, and that her subsequent obtaining of U.S. citizenship may have occurred under false pretenses. Some have viewed this as sufficient reason to revoke Omar's citizenship and deport her, or at the very least impeach her from Congress.<ref>https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/07/david-steinberg-tying-up-loose-threads-in-the-curious-case.php</ref>
