Rep. Ilhan Omar facing new scrutiny over past effort to win leniency for 9 men accused
Foxnews ^

FULL TITLE: Rep. Ilhan Omar facing new scrutiny over past effort to win leniency for 9 men accused of trying to join ISIS

Embattled congressional freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., once asked a judge to show leniency toward a group of Minnesota men accused of trying to join the Islamic State terror group.

“The best deterrent to fanaticism is a system of compassion," she wrote at the time. "We must alter our attitude and approach; if we truly want to effect change, we should refocus our efforts on inclusion and rehabilitation."

The nine Minnesota men were facing decades in prison after being accused in 2015 of making plans, including buying fake passports, in an effort to travel to Syria and fight for ISIS, which was at its peak level of activity and held territory in Syria and Iraq.

Isn’t it illegal in the US to marry your brother?

“Incarcerating 20-year-old men for 30 or 40 years is essentially a life sentence. Society will have no expectations of the to-be 50- or 60-year-old released prisoners; it will view them with distrust and revulsion,” read Omar’s letter to the judge, as obtained by FOX 9 of Minneapolis-St. Paul.

People tend not to trust those who join gangs to behead people.

Funny how that works.

She has outed herself as an enemy of this nation and should be removed from office.

Running a Muslim extremist/terrorist sympathizer is a terrible idea, but Democrats don’t care as long as they win. This woman in our House of Representatives is proof that Democrat Party does not care about national security as long as they can get power.

There was a time that once convicted those men would have been stood against a wall and shot! I don’t think a cot and three hots is to much for American citizens to ask they get!

ONE OF THE 9 ISIS AGENTS IN THEIR OWN WORDS:

“I was not going there to pass out medical kits or food. I was going strictly to fight and kill on behalf of the Islamic State.”

— Abdirahman Yasin Daud

What he needs is a hug/s

Does this logic apply to all murderous wannabes or only mulsim ones? (I know the answer to that)

None of the stories regarding this woman has appeared in the Mpls Star Tribune, the Minnesota newspaper of record. They are refusing to print any of the negative national stories about her.

Clinton, then Bush, then Obama imported hundreds of thousands of Somali Muslims to this country. It was only a matter of time before they started electing their own.

Ilhan Omar is representing the interests of her constituents.

Omar had to have falsified a slew of official US documents when she married her brother as a way to slither into the US.

SOMALIS STEAL $300 MILLION TAX DOLLARS——The Worst Scandal In Minnesota History?
Center of the American Experiment ^ | May 14, 2018 | John Hinderaker
FR Posted on 5/15/2018, 9:24:53 AM by 2ndDivisionVet

Fox 9 television uncovers a far-reaching scandal: last year, more than $100 million in cash left the Twin Cities airport in carry-on luggage, bound for the Middle East and Africa: This story begins at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, where mysterious suitcases filled with cash have become a common carry-on. On the morning of March 15, Fox 9 chased a tip about a man who was leaving the country. Sources said he took a carry-on bag through security that was packed with $1 million in cash. Travelers can do that, as long as they fill out the proper government forms. Fox 9 learned that these cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai and points beyond. Sources said last year alone, more than $100 million in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage.

Where does the money come from, and where is it going? It was coming from Hawalas, businesses used to courier money to countries that have no official banking system. Some immigrant communities rely on Hawalas to send funds to help impoverished relatives back home. [Former Seattle police detective Glen] Kerns discovered some of the money was being funneled to a Hawala in the region of Somalia that is controlled by the al Shabaab terrorist group.

But the real scandal is where the money came from in the first place–welfare fraud:As Kerns dug deeper, he found that some of the individuals who were sending out tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of remittance payments happened to be on government assistance in this country. How could they possibly come up with such big bucks to transfer back home? “We had sources that told us, ‘It’s welfare fraud, it’s all about the daycare,’” said Kerns. *** Five years ago the Fox 9 Investigators were first to report that daycare fraud was on the rise in Minnesota, exposing how some businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help low-income families with their childcare expenses.

“It’s a great way to make some money,” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said In order for the scheme to work, the daycare centers falsely signed up low income Somali Muslim families that qualify for child care assistance funding.Surveillance videos from a case prosecuted by Hennepin County show parents checking their kids into a center, only to leave with them a few minutes later. Sometimes, no children would show up.

Either way, the center would bill the state for a full day of childcare.Video from that same case shows a man handing out envelopes of what are believed to be kickback payments to parents who are in on the fraud. Evidently welfare fraud in various forms is widespread in Minnesota’s Somali immigrant community. This is, I think, generally known, but the scale of fraud disclosed here is astonishing:

“We believe that there’s a scope of fraud out there that we really need to get our arms around and ensure that those dollars are going to kids that really need them,” Acting Commissioner for the Department of Human Services Chuck Johnson said.

He told the Fox 9 Investigators his agency has 10 daycares currently under active investigation for fraud. Fox 9 has learned dozens more are considered suspicious. Search warrants obtained by the Fox 9 Investigators show each one of the suspect centers has received several million dollars in childcare assistance funds.

According to public records and government sources, most are owned by Somali immigrants. *** Sources in the Somali community told Fox 9 it is an open secret that starting a daycare center is a license to make money.

The fraud is so widespread they said, that people buy shares of daycare businesses to get a cut of the huge public subsidies that are pouring in. Government insiders believe this scam is costing the state at least a hundred million dollars a year, half of all child care subsidies.

A friend who saw this news story wrote: This has me more angry than I’ve been since the 2011 tax increase on the “rich” aka, working families. I can’t put into words how utterly incompetent you must be to not have a checks and balances in place for tax payer funded programs, the tax payer dollars that people like myself and millions others diligently pay quarterly, leaving our children in childcare to work and provide for our families, pay taxes, only to have this hard work fund bogus programs that somehow are funding the same terrorist activities meant to harm our country?!!! Unbelievable. The commissioner and employees responsible for overseeing this mess should pay, every single one of them – they should be fired – they didn’t do their job.

Her outrage is appropriate, but perhaps misguided. I suspect that many of Minnesota’s liberals think that our bureaucrats performed their jobs very well: they siphoned off hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to finance liberal constituencies—the principal purpose of government, according to our lib friends.

It is impossible to plumb the depths of this Muslim-Somali problem. We need to totally revamp both our immigration policies and our welfare system to guard against these Somali migrant crooks.

PRACTICED PARASITES Minneapolis taxpayers must pay public housing rent
for Somalis in the US that spend their income on travel to Somalia

American Thinker | October 2, 2016 | Thomas Lifson / FR Posted by detective

What a deal! Immigrate to the United States, and if you spend your gravy train freebies (from countless welfare and refugee programs)
on travel to Somalia instead of paying your rent in public housing, suckered taxpayers of Minneapolis pick up the travel tab.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports (via Refugee Resettlement Watch):
Public housing residents in Minneapolis will no longer need to pay their normal monthly rent when travel abroad erases their income, a change particularly sought by East African immigrants.

The board of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority approved this week reverting to its previous policy of collecting only minimal rent during extended absences. The change takes effect once approved by federal housing officials, which is expected by year’s end. (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...

If only...she’d scream victim and injustice (and any other slur/buzzword imaginable) if anyone had the mere thought.

But hey, they elected a colored female Somali Muslim! In continuance of Obama voters, that’s a lot of racism and bigotry dispelled right there.

Address Records Show Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Lived With First Husband Throughout Marriage To Brother;
growing amount of evidence implicates Omar in multiple federal and state felonies

P.J. Media ^ | October 30, 2018 | David Steinberg / FR Posted by grundle

In recent days, as a Minnesota state Representative, Democrat Ilhan Omar, has campaigned with Minnesota Attorney General candidate Keith Ellison (Democrat-Muslim-MN). Omar is the Democratic nominee for the federal House seat, MN CD-5, that Ellison is vacating. She is the assumed favorite to win the seat.

The allegations stem from Omar’s 2009 marriage to British citizen Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, her apparent brother. Below, exclusive new evidence backs the claim that this marriage was fraudulent. Also, this new evidence suggests that student loan fraud and immigration fraud were Omar’s motivations for marrying Mr. Elmi.

In 2016, shortly after Rep. Omar defeated 44-year incumbent Phyllis Kahn in the Democratic primary for MN House District 60B, someone anonymously posted the initial allegations on the SomaliSpot.com message board.

The poster claimed Omar had been granted a Minnesota marriage license in 2009, and subsequently married her brother Ahmed Elmi while she was still Islamically married to Ahmed Hirsi -- with whom she had two children at the time. (Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
