Ilhan Nur Said Elmi was born in Somalia in 1983. She, her father, two sisters and two brothers, fled the country in 1991 as a result of escalating violence. They stayed in the Dadaab refugee camps of neighboring [[Kenya]] until 1995. The unrelated Omar family, which was granted three asylum spots in the United States,  allowed Ilhan's father Nur Said, her genetic sister Sahra, and Ilhan to use false names as members of the Omar family.  Ilhan’s three other siblings — under their real names — received asylum in the [[United Kingdom]].  The family was split up, and Ilhan, her father, and sister Sahra relocated to Minnesota under assumed identities.

According to the AHA Foundation, there are 44,293 women at risk of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in the state of Minnesota. The AHA Foundation was established to protect women from so-called “honor” violence, advance freedom of speech in public debate, and support the work of Muslim reformers.  The AHA Foundation rates each state A-F on these issues. Minnesota received a D rating due to its poor anti-FGM policies.

Before being elected to Congress Ilhan was a member of the Minnesota statehouse when in 2017 it considered a bill seeking to make it a [[felony]] for parents to subject their daughters to FGM.  Ilhan suggested that the bill’s proponents may be seeking media attention.  “What I don’t want us to do is to try to create laws because we want to be able to get in the media,” Ilhan said.<ref>https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/patrick-goodenough/rep-omar-berates-questioner-asking-her-condemn-female-genital</ref>

The complaint also noted that the State of Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board has already determined that Rep. Omar violated state campaign finance laws for improper use of campaign funds. She was forced to reimburse her campaign thousands of dollars. More significantly, the Board discovered that the federal tax returns submitted by Rep. Omar for 2014 and 2015 were filed as “joint” tax returns with a man who was not her husband, named Ahmed Hirsi, while she was actually married to Ahmed Elmi. Sources in the Somali community have expressed fear regarding published video and photo evidence confirming threats from Omar’s campaign team. These sources have shared other evidence of threats.
