In a post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump called for Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) to resign from her position in the House of Representatives "immediately." Trump’s demand was accompanied by claims that the congresswoman has been using a "fake name." In his statement, Trump referred to her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi" and suggested that the Democratic Party had effectively conceded her seat, though he provided no evidence to support the claim that her name is fraudulent or that her seat is vacant.

This demand follows a long history of public friction between the former president and the congresswoman. While Trump framed the demand as a matter of urgent political necessity, the statement did not cite any official legal findings or House ethics investigations to substantiate the accusation of identity fraud. The Hill reports that Trump directed his followers to inform Speaker of the House Mike Johnson of this supposed concession, though there has been no official action taken by the Speaker’s office or the House regarding Omar’s eligibility or status. As of now, Representative Omar has not issued a formal response to these specific allegations, and the claims remain unverified by any legislative or judicial body.
