Rep. Ilhan Omar’s activist daughter unemployed, selling used clothes 15 months after arrest at Columbia anti-Israel protest
NY Post ^ | 7/08/25 | Victor Nava

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) daughter revealed Tuesday that she’s unemployed after graduating from Barnard College — the elite school that suspended her last year after her arrest at a Columbia University anti-Israel protest.

“Unemployment got me,” Isra Hirsi captioned an Instagram Story selfie.

The 22-year-old jobless activist is apparently getting by peddling some of her old clothes to her more than 82,000 followers on the social media platform.

“I am now selling on [Depop]!! Check out if u wish,” Hirsi wrote, including a link to her page on the clothing resale app.

Multiple skirts, a pair of Dr. Martens boots and Hirsi’s “beloved multicolored striped cardigan” are among the items the keffiyeh-wearing college grad is looking to unload on the marketplace.

Hirsi was one of more than 100 anti-Israel protesters who were hauled away in cuffs by the NYPD last April after erecting a tent city on Columbia University’s Morningside Campus.

The self-described “hyper-woke” member of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) group was suspended from Barnard College after her arrest, but the institution’s president offered to lift the punishment less than a week later — after Hirsi claimed she was homeless and couldn’t get food after being kicked out of the $90,000-per-year school.

Hirsi graduated from Barnard in May.

“There is no greater joy as a parent than seeing your child succeed, and today I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to see my eldest daughter Isra Hirsi graduate college,” Omar wrote on Facebook at the time, sharing pics from commencement.

Her uncle is also her father? Whether he’s both or not, the little bitch is just an extension of her bitch mother who should be charged with hate crimes and deported to the worst part of Somalia, along with bitch daughter.

She majored in antisemitism studies. I guess there’s not a big demand in the job marketplace for magna cum laude hate studies grads. She shoulda gone with black studies like her mother aunt told her to do.

Why isn’t she over there in Gaza territory, helping her “brothers” make drones of combat?
Failing that, I know McDonald’s, Target and the Piggly Wiggly are hiring this summer.

So mom is expecting taxpayers to take care of her adult daughter for her...

That figures.

No.

That’s why Deep State has taxpayers.

We’re just cash cows for Deep State.

Somalis have perfected sucking down every State-Federal welfare bennie in Minnesota. They have also defrauded child day care programs and 200 million worth of Covid relief money scammed by the worst immigrants ever.

Minnesota COVID Relief Fraud: Somali Community Involvement
Overview
Minnesota was the site of the largest COVID-19 relief fraud scheme in U.S. history, with over $250 million stolen from federal funds meant to feed low-income children during the pandemic. Many of those charged and convicted in the scheme are Somali immigrants or Somali Americans residing in Minnesota.

Scheme Details
The fraud centered on the nonprofit Feeding Our Future and associated meal sites.

Defendants submitted false claims for millions of meals never served, using fake names and forged documents.

The stolen funds were spent on luxury cars, jewelry, international travel, and real estate in the U.S. and abroad, including Kenya and Turkey.

Key Facts
Total Amount Stolen: Approximately $250 million. While the user referenced “$100 million,” the documented fraud is significantly larger, with over $250 million involved; only about $50–60 million has been recovered so far.

Somali Community Involvement: Many of those indicted and convicted are Somali immigrants or Somali Americans, including nonprofit operators, restaurant owners, and business associates.

Number of Defendants: Over 70 individuals have been charged, with at least 18 guilty pleas and multiple convictions in federal court.

Convictions: Five out of seven defendants in the first major trial— all Somali Minnesotans—were found guilty of wire fraud and money laundering in June 2024.

Notable Incidents
The trial was marred by an attempted jury bribe, with a Somali woman delivering $120,000 in cash to a juror’s home, leading to the juror’s dismissal and the sequestering of the remaining jury.

The fraud exploited relaxed federal oversight during the pandemic, and the Minnesota Department of Education was criticized for failing to prevent the theft.

“Homeless and couldn’t get food”

So her mother told her to live on the street and starve? I doubt that.

Her Dad is not her Uncle. Mom had babies with her shake up babydaddy while,at the same time, marrying her brother to get him into the country. This allowed Uncle to enroll in college using low cost instate tuition.

Technically that would have made her Uncle her stepfather, until they divorced.
