In a series of articles in 2018 and 2019, journalist David Steinberg presented evidence that Ilhan'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.<ref>https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/07/david-steinberg-tying-up-loose-threads-in-the-curious-case.php</ref> Steinberg states that Ilhan has committed a dozen felonies or more: at least one count of immigration fraud when she arranged for her brother's entry into the U.S. as her husband; at least two (and possibly as many as eight) counts of filing fraudulent tax returns; at least one count of federal student loan fraud (as Ilhan and Ahmed passed themselves off as husband and wife when requesting federal financial aid during their time at North Dakota State); and eight counts of perjury during her 2017 divorce. In his words, Ilhan "has almost certainly committed the most extensive spree of felonies by a congressperson in U.S. history."<ref>Steinberg, David (August 10, 2020).
