My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process,\u201d she said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2018\/09\/20\/is-ilhan-omar-donald-trumps-worst-nightmare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Intercept<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A report in the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/10\/13\/us-news\/rep-ilhan-omars-staff-got-her-birthdate-changed-officially-after-being-elected-to-congress-records\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> said that congressional staff pushed to have Omar\u2019s official birth date in the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library changed from 1981 to 1982, which would align with her narrative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Former political rival A.J. Kern said Omar \u201cclaims her citizenship narrative is that she derived citizenship through her father when she was a 17-year-old minor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor derivative citizenship, two things have to be true \u2014 one, her father had to naturalize; and two, she still had to be a minor \u2014 and what I have found is that it\u2019s highly likely that neither of those things are true,\u201d Kern said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kern added that a <a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/56ca1e60356fb0ec8c2a8cab\/t\/64bed8f856983900dec945ae\/1690228985139\/CMT-1443386423.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 2023<\/a> bombshell from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, indicated no record of her father\u2019s naturalization could be found.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYour index search request was received in this office on June 27, 2022, regarding Nur Omar Mohamed born on January 1, 1941 in Somalia. We completed a thorough search for records based on the information you provided. Unfortunately, we found no matching index reference,\u201d the agency wrote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur search included all variations of the subject\u2019s name, including Nur Said Elmi Mohamed with the same results,\u201d the agency wrote.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kern told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsnationnow.com\/politics\/ilhan-omar-citizenship-aj-kern-claims\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NewsNation<\/a>\u00a0that \u201csince she claims derivative citizenship through her father and he passed away in 2020, I requested his records.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd it took a year, but I have a letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services dated June 20, 2023, that states that after a thorough search of their database and using all variations of his name, that there is no record of her father\u2019s naturalization,\u201d Kern said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd then I sent off to the Department of Homeland Security, and they also did a search of their database, using all variations of his name. They also found that her father was not in their database,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The letter, Kern said, claimed that a <a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/56ca1e60356fb0ec8c2a8cab\/t\/654132ba15a789766d72e052\/1698771722003\/Additional+Information+for+FEC+10+27+2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diligent search<\/a> was conducted and no record was found.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Omar has said she is a citizen, and signed documents swearing that is the truth, Kern said the system has far too many flaws, according to NewsNation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the refugee program, they obtain a Social Security number fairly soon after they enter the country; eventually, they go and obtain a driver\u2019s license,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo Ilhan Omar as a child obtained a Social Security number. Then when she became of driving age, she went in and she obtained a driver\u2019s license, and at the same time she registered to vote,\u201d Kern continued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd what we know in Minnesota is they are not verifying citizenship\u2026 so it\u2019s very easy when you have a Social Security number, a driver\u2019s license, and you\u2019re registered to vote to say, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m a citizen.\u2019 And nobody can check it.
