One Degree of Separation: Somali Fraud Edition

Ilhan Omar, Sahra Noor, and the apparently quite widespread practice of defrauding the American taxpayer.

The ongoing unraveling of fraud in the federal government’s welfare system, particularly involving medical subsidies, has gotten politically even more interesting. The egregious Ilhan Omar, Somalian America-hater and U.S. Representative from Minnesota, is now implicated.

Well, at least one member of her family is under investigation.

In Kevin Haggerty’s “Minnesota fraud scandal hits close to home for Ilhan Omar after probe implicates sister,” we learn that the “Squad member has herself been dodging probes related to billions of dollars in fraud in her adopted home state, especially involving her own Somali community. Now, public records have raised serious questions about Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, and her link to an address shared by at least three Feeding Our Future convicts.

“It was at that Hyacinth Ave. address the incorporation records detailed, ‘Afraa opened a company called Sunrise Business Center, Inc. alongside Hanna Marekegn. Marekegn is directly involved in the fraud scandal, pleading guilty in 2022 to wire fraud for stealing $7 million. Marekegn claimed to be feeding 4,000 poor children a day. Instead she bought a mansion for herself, claiming she embodied the “American Dream.” Marekegn testified under oath that she falsely alleged racism to manipulate Minnesota bureaucrats to look the other way at red flags.’”

According to Benny Johnson, on X, “BREAKING: Ilhan Omar’s SISTER Has Been Linked to The ‘Feeding Our Future’ Fraud Scandal

Sahra Noor runs a business that received a $2 million earmark while her sister, Ilhan, was a state representative and she founded a USAID-backed consulting group that “has secured more than $20 million in funding for health initiatives”

Her company was registered at the same address used by key figures charged in the scheme.

70 have been convicted in the scandal.

This story, though not exactly new, has not become well known. It turns out that the Somali subsidy scam culture is a much bigger story than is widely recognized. For partisan reasons, no doubt, major news media outlets have not made much of it.

As is becoming clear, in this story and others, fear of being accused of racism is a good cover for all sorts of crimes and sins, not least of which is massive fraud.
