Ilhan Omar Was Caught Red Handed in a Scheme To Funnel Taxpayer Money to Her Sister

The FBI raided 20 Minneapolis clinics this week and walked out with computers.

Ilhan Omar has been directing taxpayer money into that same neighborhood for years.

And the document that just surfaced explains exactly where it was going and why she lied about it.

Sahra Noor Ran People's Center Clinic While Omar Sent It Millions in Taxpayer Funds

Ilhan Omar's older sister, Sahra Noor, served as CEO of People's Center Clinics & Services in Minneapolis's Cedar-Riverside neighborhood from July 2014 through April 2018.

Omar took her seat in the Minnesota House in January 2017.

That same year, the state capital budget included $2.2 million for the clinic.

Then Omar celebrated it publicly – posting in 2022 that she had obtained "over $2mil" for People's Center "in my time in the MN House."

She wasn't finished.

As a U.S. Representative, Omar secured an additional $1 million in congressionally directed federal funding for the same clinic.

When that money was approved, Omar stated that "neither I nor my immediate family has any financial interest in this project."

Two years later – in April 2024 – People's Center publicly credited Omar for delivering that federal million.

She directed $3.2 million in taxpayer money to her sister's clinic and then claimed her family had no connection to it.

The Unlicensed Pharmacy Still Holding an Active Federal HHS Contract

People's Center has maintained an active federal contract pharmacy agreement under HHS's 340B Drug Pricing Program with a company called Degdeg's Carepoint Pharmacy.

Noor signed that agreement herself in 2015.

Two years later the pharmacy had its license revoked and shut its doors.

It’s been closed ever since.

Nobody at the clinic – and nobody in Omar's office – has explained why an active federal contract remains with a pharmacy that no longer legally exists.

That agreement is still on the books.

The clinic has collected approximately $33 million in HHS grants since 2002.

Noor Left for Africa the Moment the Questions Started and Took the Answers With Her

During the period when journalists were pressing Omar about her alleged marriage to her own brother, Noor quietly stepped down as CEO and relocated to Africa.

She launched a healthcare consulting firm in Kenya called Grit Partners.

That firm's own website source code was later found to contain the Instagram login of Ahmed Nur Said Elmi – the man Omar swore under oath in a 2017 divorce filing she hadn't seen since 2011 and had no way of locating.

Investigative journalist David Steinberg found Elmi's account embedded in the development code for Noor's firm.

If Omar had no way to find her estranged ex-husband, why was he building her sister's company website?

Noor's husband Mohamed Keynan left Minnesota at the same time – moving from a contracts management role at Hennepin County to serving as chief of staff to Somalia's Prime Minister.

The DOJ Investigation Has 98 Charges and the FBI Just Raided Omar's Neighborhood

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi dispatched federal prosecutors to Minnesota in January, vowing the DOJ would be "relentless in exposing these fraudsters wherever they may be hiding."

The DOJ has now charged 98 people in Minnesota fraud cases and secured 64 convictions.

Last Tuesday, FBI agents executed search warrants at roughly 20 Minneapolis clinics and childcare centers, removing records and equipment as news cameras rolled outside.

Trump has stated publicly that evidence implicates Omar in the Minnesota Somali fraud network.

JD Vance confirmed on national television that Omar committed immigration fraud and said he and Stephen Miller are actively building the case against her.

Joni Ernst separately caught Omar trying to slip $1 million to a so-called substance abuse clinic – Generation Hope MN – that turned out to operate above a restaurant.

That earmark was yanked from the federal spending bill in January.

And now Breitbart's Olivia Rondeau has documented the full picture: $3.2 million steered by Omar to the clinic her own sister was running – while Omar told the public her family had no stake in the project.

The FBI raided that neighborhood four days ago.

They want to know where the money went.

Ilhan Omar has had a very long run claiming her family knows nothing about that answer.
