Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, said late Monday that her father had died from complications of Covid-19.
“It is with tremendous sadness and pain to say goodbye to my father, Nur Omar Mohamed,” she said on Twitter. “No words can describe what he meant to me and all who knew and loved him.”
She included a translated Arabic phrase from the Quran: “Surely we belong to God and to him shall we return.”
She attributed his death to “complications from Covid-19,” according to The Associated Press.
