Ilhan "Omar" Nur, Immigration Fraudster and America's Sweetheart, Just So Happeened to Have Ties with the Somali Pirates Behind the Biggest Theft of Taxpayer Funds in American History

Throw her in jail, then deport her.

US Rep. Ilhan Omar's close ties to the $1 billion welfare scam in her Minnesota congressional district are being uncovered.

Omar (D-Minn.) held parties at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, knew one of its now-convicted owners, and one of her own staffers has also been convicted -- both for stealing millions.

Ilhan Omar, the far-left "Squad" congresswoman, has been eerily silent on the billion-dollar welfare fraud scheme that was centered in her Minnesota district.
Omar even introduced the bill that led to $250 million in fraud. Yet she claims to have been completely unaware of it.

"[Rep. Omar] knew who these people were. People she personally knew were making tens of millions of dollars in this program," claimed Bill Glahn, a policy fellow with the Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment, to The Post.

"She had been inside the [Safari] facility on numerous occasions and couldn't put 2 and 2 together? Either she's terminally naive, or knew and didn't care," Glahn added.

Around $250 million was handed out by the Minnesota government to provide meals to schoolchildren during the pandemic from 2020 onward.

Instead, it was pocketed by corrupt business owners, including Salim Ahmed Said. He's the co-owner of Safari Restaurant, where Omar held her 2018 congressional victory party.

Said was found guilty in August of stealing over $12 million for serving 3.9 million "phantom" meals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He blew much of the money on a $2 million Minneapolis mansion and a $9,000-a-month shopping habit at Nordstrom, according to prosecutors.

Said ran a fake food site called Advance Youth Athletic Development, where he falsely claimed to serve 5,000 meals a day -- and pocketed $3.2 million from the food program.

Omar has not been directly linked to the scandal, according to prosecutorial documents. Her office did not respond to a request for comment from The Post.

The free meals were made possible by the 2020 MEALS Act, which was introduced by Omar and passed with bipartisan support.

Most of the money in Minneapolis was funneled through the now-defunct nonprofit Feeding Our Future.

It allowed both nonprofits and for-profit businesses to be reimbursed with taxpayer money for feeding kids by dramatically loosening oversight, waiving site inspections, and allowing bulk take-home food, with almost no verification.

...

In 2021, when Minnesota's Department of Education (MDE) flagged that organization for irregularities and "serious deficiencies" such as incomplete audits, a top aide to Omar, deputy district director Ali Isse, came rushing to their defense, in a newly resurfaced video.

He spoke at a gala praising the "vital work" of Feeding Our Families and blasted state agencies for asking too many questions.

"I'm tired of the MDE thing. How many more do we have to fight against?" the top Omar associate, who has not been indicted or directly linked to the fraud, said during the impassioned speech.

He also blamed the unwanted attention from authorities on racism and rallied the "community" to stick together. Isse did not immediately return The Post's request for comment.

Plot twist. Are you as surprised as I am?

Select your answer below:

"After Obama's staffer blame criticism of the Somali pirates and raiders on racism, I am...

A) "less surprised than Ace"

B) "more surprised than Ace"

C) "equally surprised as Ace"

D) "The Joe Bloggs Answer"

Whistleblowers have claimed the fear of being called racist meant government officials were reluctant to prosecute the scheme to its full extent early on.

It's almost as if killers, rapists, and thieves use the "Muh Racism" accusation to continue committing heinous crimes without punishment.

...

A different Omar campaign official, a Democratic activist named Guhaad Hashi Said, pleaded guilty in August to running a fake food site called Advance Youth Athletic Development, where he falsely claimed to serve 5,000 meals a day and pocketed $3.2 million out of the food program.

Said worked on Omar's 2018 and 2020 campaigns as an "enforcer" who oversaw aggressive voter mobilization in the Somali community, according to local Alphanews.org.

Somali immigrant Mukhtar Shariff was one of the 78 people to be convicted to date.

...

Omar and Said frequently attended events together. Numerous Facebook photos apparently shared by Said show him with Omar, including a smiling selfie together.

"This is a clan-based society, everybody knows everybody else and it's only open to those folks in that clan," Gaither said of the Somali immigrants.

Others receiving fraudulent money from the charity scam were donors to Omar's campaign.

A few months ago we learned that Ilhan "Omar" Nur's net worth had absolutely skyrocketed in the past few years.

Ilhan Omar's net worth...

1995: Arrives in America in with 0 wealth.
2020: -$65K
2021: $65K
2022: $115K
2023: $205K
2024: $30 million

Evil America and the white man must not be that bad.

29 years in America and Ilhan is now worth $30 million dollars.

What a scam.

She claims her wealth came from her "husband's" company or investments or some obvious bullshit like that. Given the timing of her explosion in wealth, let's just say I suspect a different source.

This isn't just an idle speculation. Somali pirates have "donated" -- paid in bribery -- $50,000+ to Democrat politicians for protection, and that's just the money reported in FEC filings.

Minnesota Democratic lawmakers, including the Attorney General, were handed over $53,000 in campaign contributions by fraudsters who ripped off taxpayer cash meant to feed children.

AG Keith Ellison, his councilman son, mayor Jacob Frey, Representative Ilhan Omar and others received cash from the scammers who siphoned off some $250 million, largely through nonprofit Feeding Our Future. Many did so after meeting the crooks, raising questions about how much they knew.

"I'm not here because I think it's going to help my re-election," Ellison said during an encounter with Somali business leaders, two of whom later became criminal defendants linked to the scandal, according to audio obtained by the Center of the American Experiment.

However, days after the December 11, 2021 meeting, Ellison's campaign took in $10,000 from the businessmen. Gandi Mohamed made a maximum $2,500 donation to Ellison's re-election campaign. He was indicted on federal bribery and fraud charges last year.

Three more $2,500 donations linked to Feeding Our Future were also accepted by Ellison's campaign on the same day.

President Trump delivered a blistering rebuke of Minnesota's Somali migrant community during a cabinet meeting Tuesday, arguing that those who "come from hell" should return home and rebuild their own country rather than "complain" about the United States. His remarks cut sharply against years of Democrat-backed refugee policies that brought nearly 100,000 Somali migrants to the state despite persistent concerns about crime, fraud, and cultural assimilation.

"They come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch," Trump said, declaring, "We don't want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it." He described Somalia as a nation that "stinks" and has remained broken for decades, adding that its dysfunction is no accident: "Their country is no good for a reason."

He says "intervene." Intervene how? By attempting a false arrest of federal agents? And when they draw weapons to stop the attempted kidnapping of them by lawless local police, what then?

We cannot live like this.
