Ilhan Omar Refuses to Comment on Terrorist Recruitment in Her District
PJ Media ^ | 6/10/19 | NICHOLAS BALLASY

Posted on 06/11/2019 9:54:55 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) declined to address a report that found the highest level of terrorist group recruitment has taken place in her congressional district.

According to a Fox News report from February, “More men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined – or attempted to join – a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.” The city of Minneapolis is located in Omar’s district.

“FBI stats show 45 Somalis left to join the ranks of either the Somalia-based Islamic insurgency al-Shabab, or the Iraq- and Syria-based ISIS combined. And as of 2018, a dozen more had been arrested with the intention of leaving to support ISIS,” stated the report.

Omar, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was asked about the report's findings on Capitol Hill.

“What steps are you taking to deter extremism and the recruitment from terrorist organizations going on in your district?” she was asked.

“I have not seen that report,” Omar replied.

PJM followed up, asking Omar, “It’s FBI stats but in general, what steps are you taking — what is your message to people who may want to join one of those groups within your district?”

Omar declined to respond.

Ilhan: Travel the world. See exciting, exotic places. Meet exciting, exotic people—AND KILL THEM! Join ISIS.*

She is representing her district well.

Too bad, the area now known as “Mogadishapolis” used to be known as Hippytown

“Too bad, the area now known as “Mogadishapolis” used to be known as Hippytown”

I remember the Cedar-Riverside area well. I was at the Univ of Minnesota in the early to mid 80’s. I lived in a dorm on West Bank.

We’d occasionally wander over to Cedar-Riverside at one of the local bars or at the co-op to get milk. We knew friends in the Cedar-Riverside towers. The area was full of college students and left-overs from the 1960’s. It was eclectic and kinda interesting.

It really has become Little Mogadishu. The area is dirty and crime-ridden. I wouldn’t walk thru that area now.

This needs review by the House Ethics Committee and an FBI review. That's all....

Islam encourages followers to kill all nonbelievers. It encourages believers to smite nonbelievers on the neck with their sword. Allow them into the USA and what do you expect to happen?

Skinnies will be Skinnies. Everything you want to know about Somalians was learned in 1993. RIP our American soldiers who were murdered by the spawn of this POS.

Shocker ---- Omar declined to respond on rampant terrorism recruitment in her Congressional District………….
she’s commented about everything else to make herself look good.
Rampant Somali terrorism recruitment in her district obviously doesnt advance her agenda.

Taxpayers demand to know if terrorism recruitment is being financed with stolen tax dollars. Read on

MINN 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.
