Rep. Ilhan Omar has filed for divorce from her husband
Freshman Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, who burst into the national spotlight last fall as part of a wave of trailblazing lawmakers in Congress, has filed for divorce from her husband, Ahmed Hirsi, PEOPLE confirms.
The divorce petition, which was first reported by TMZ, was filed on Friday (which was coincidentally Omar’s birthday).
A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 29, court records show.
Omar, 37, cited “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship,” according to TMZ, and is seeking joint custody of her three children with Hirsi, 39.
A spokeswoman for Omar did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. Hirsi could not be reached.
“As with all marriages, this is intensely personal and a difficult time for their family,” a spokesperson for Omar told TMZ, adding, “Just like any other family navigating this kind of transition, Ilhan wishes to have their privacy respected for themselves and their children and will not be commenting any further.”
The spokesperson also cited what they called years of “speculation and innuendo from political opponents and the media” which had “taken a significant toll on Ilhan, Ahmed, and their three children.”
They were apparently referring, in part, to reports this year in mostly conservative media based on court documents from a political consultant’s estranged wife alleging that Omar had an affair with the consultant. The consultant reportedly denied this, charging the accusation was part of a smear campaign.
Separately, in 2016, Omar shot down the baseless claim — which she called “absurd and offensive” — that her previous husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was actually her brother and the two had really wed to advance his own immigration case.
So, is this the brother ?
Nevermind. I read the last sentence
No problem, divorce is very common. Trump is on his third wife.
First husband or her brother???
I wonder if she'll marry that dufus who was stupid enough to engage in an affair with this ugly Muslim harridan?
Who cares?
The only thing that bitch could do that would be news worthy to me would be to have a massive coronary.
Too bad she won’t be making a statement on how grateful she is to live in a country where her family can’t executed her for this.
They will still get to see each other at family functions.
Not to worry, the family tree will circle back to wreath form soon enough.
So, she blames it on political opposition? Not the result of personal lack of honor? Figures.
There's reputable reports that she has had an affair with a married man. The wife has filed for divorce and named Ilhan as the cause of the marriage breakdown.
There is also an investigation as to whether one of her husbands WAS her brother. Also she may have been married to both men at the same time.
Is she going to return the goat/sheep/and or camel?
She's a busy gal.........
I'll bet Sharia would NOT approve!
Who cares?

Now, Charles. What if she suck-started a glock? Wouldn’t that be worthwhile to report?
She must not be a real muzzle. No FGM on this girl. Hasbeen
Sand [bleep]—-hope she gets stoned to death for it

A politician gettin' a deevorce! I'm shocked!
Ya reckon she paid off any of them pornographic movin' pitcher stars too?
But, she's a muzzie so isn't she her husband's property?
Hope she doesn't have an untimely accident.
so isn't her husband her brother? if she divorces him, are they still brother and sister tho? I thought she originally married him to get him into the United States...

Wrong husband, she already divorced her brother.
For all the problems she claims to have suffered in America, it is puzzling that she isn't grateful to be in America , and that she isn't back in Somalia where she could have been stoned 2-3 times over for her behavior.
That face would make a locomotive want to take a dirt road...
Good God is this my lucky day. In three day's time, I will set sail, for Detroit. Hopefully I can get a date with the freshly divorced Muslim congress person.
Confusion reigns on the fire.
Rashida Tlaib is the Rep with the foul mouth from Detroit. She is butt ugly.
Ilhan Omar, at least in some photos, looks somewhat attractive (if you squint the right way) and she is from Minneapolis MN. She is the one with multiple spouses.
Confusion reigns on the fire.

Shirley, you’re not surprised!

And IT'S time coincides right along the time that the writing was on the wall and several posters decided that they needed sockpuppets after all of their "Hillary is going to annihilate Trump" posts..

You dropped the collective IQ here by a large margin, single handedly.
Congratulations?
