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.

She has the appearance of GIGANTIC PAIN IN THE A$$ on any job she might hold. Constantly shrieking over every absurd “microaggression” imaginable. If someone like her walked into a job interview with me, I’d be courteous, polite and businesslike. But as soon as the interview is over and she’s left the facility, her application would immediately be shredded and trashed.

Her daughter should not have gone to college. Where is her burka? Is she not dressed like a slut? Where is her male relative??

It is the Islamic way!

It’s really disgusting when so many politicians are anti-American whack jobs who have no respect, no appreciation for the greatest country in the world. Why they live here is beyond me, they should all be deported, and some should be in prison.

My father and grandfather and grandmother and also my sister were born in Minnesota. My father, grandfather and grandmother are all probably rolling in their graves at what Minnesota has become. What a damn shame.

Maybe throw in Kamala's step daughter if they want someone to play the male role.

I don’t fault the girl for her mother
but
mama sure warped the girl’s head

throwing away all of her privileges (Barnard has been an elite college for many years) on a false “cause” for nothing (unless, of course, she was paid ... but it was still a terrible, stupid bargain)

okay so she can sell her used clothes if she wishes. she can also go get a job like normal people do every day

hoping she can clear her head of all the bullkrapo lies and distortions that have been put there

HOW DOES ONE COLLECT “UNEMPLOYMENT” WHEN THEY HAVE NEVER HAD A JOB?

EMPLOYERS PAY INTO THE UNEMPLOYMENT FUNDS.

IF YOU ARE LAID OFF—YOU CANNOT COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT WITHOUT A JOB HISTORY.

Tell her to marry her brother like her mother did. It opened up a world of opportunities for her mom.
