<><> Omar misused campaign funds
<><> She filed a joint return before being legally married, while legally married to another man
<><> Her first marriage to Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi was without a certificate
<><> She then married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, but the two divorced in their faith tradition without taking legal action until 2017
Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board said Omar and her husband, Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, filed joint tax returns for 2014 and 2015 - before they were actually married and while Omar was legally wed to another man. While some states allow for joint filing for "common law" marriages, Minnesota does not, and filing joint tax returns with someone who is not your legal spouse is against both federal and state law. The board's final report said "there was an issue with her tax returns that needed to be corrected" and that some campaign funds went to an accounting firm.
State officials ruled last week that Omar must repay her campaign committee nearly $3,500, including $1,500 for payments made to the accounting firm for services related to joint tax returns for 2014 and 2015. Omar must also pay a $500 penalty to the state.
She says she has come under political attack because she is a Muslim and woman of color. She has also been dogged by questions about her past. She says she came to the United States (at taxpayers' expense) as a refugee from war-torn Somalia. In 2016, as Omar was running for a seat in the Minnesota House, conservative bloggers alleged she was married to two men at the same time. Marriage records show that's not the case. Conservatives also alleged that one of those men, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, was her brother - allegations that Omar called "disgusting lies."

PJ Media ^ | 6/10/19 | NICHOLAS BALLASY

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 Omars 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, Its 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.
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 DOLLARSThe Worst Scandal In Minnesota History?
Center of the American Experiment ^ | May 14, 2018 | John Hinderaker

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 placewelfare 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, Its welfare fraud, its 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.
Its 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 Minnesotas Somali immigrant community. This is, I think, generally known, but the scale of fraud disclosed here is astonishing:
We believe that theres 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.

Her ideology forbids her from following the Constitution. No wonder she won’t follow the country’s laws either.
Lie, cheat and steal, just an everyday survival skill in a Third World country.
“Oh, you mean this isn’t OK? Someone should have told me...”
Too many Ahmed’s for me. Is Ahmed muslim for Andy?
So she was getting two-hole punched??
She’s a BLACK, DEMOCRAT, MUSLIM Woman....she is UNTOUCHABLE!
When the husbands’ goats were busy she was the back-up option.
Jizyah
taqiya
The Muslims and dimoKKKRATS in her district could care less and will support her.
She’s a demoRAT. A raghead. A broad. That’s the trifecta. If she were black she’d prolly have a street named after her. She might yet.
Don’t they have polygamy in Somalia? She can have as many spouses as she wants! Maybe she’ll have to move to Colorado City, though.
Wow!
She is becoming another H. Clintoon.
Zero laws apply to her.
She is the perfect Democrat Candidate!
So would you vote for her and campaign for her?
You nailed the reality. Many of us, in spite of the Clintoons, Obama, Bidens and ????? have blissfully ignored this reality.
Now, they are in our face 24/7 flaunting their criminal behavior and saying, "We are above any laws that made America a strong country. Where criminals were tried and found guilty of crimes and served time in jail for those crimes. No laws apply to us!"
“Ilhan Jihad Omar must be accepting money from Mossad.”
BOL!
No doubt, that she is a highly paid female 007 agent of the Mossad, and they are getting their money’s worth 24/7!!
