Several members of Congress, including Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Alma Adams, D-N.C., were said to be arrested outside the Supreme Court building yesterday afternoon(July 19) during an abortion rights protest.

Does Ilhan Omar have brother?

Adams’ arrest was confirmed by her staff in a tweet from her official account. Her arrest was confirmed by Omar’s office too. however, the 39-year-old Omar remained defiant in a tweet.

(Today, I was arrested while participating in a civil disobedience action outside the Supreme Court with my colleagues in Congress. I will do everything in my power to continue to raise awareness about the assault on our reproductive rights! )She penned down.

Omar happens to be one of seven children of his American-Somalian parents. However, brothers and sisters are not known in the media.

Did Ilhan Omar marry her brother?

For years, conservative websites have claimed that Omar’s second husband  Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was actually her brother. There has been no evidence, such as a birth certificate or other legal document, to support the theory.

For years, prominent progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota has faced a slew of incendiary attacks from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans, including persistent but unfounded rumors that she married her brother.

The unverified rumors that Omar married her brother began in 2016 with an anonymous user on a Somali-American internet forum and have since spread across the internet.
