Public transactions on the Venmo page of Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, show payments on Juneteenth spread across four of the last six years.
The daughter of a well-known Congresswoman seemingly accepted “reparation” payments from her white friends for years, according to a report from the Washington Free Beacon.
Public transactions on the Venmo page of Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, show payments on Juneteenth spread across four of the last six years. Captions to the currency exchange include “reparations” and “Happy Juneteenth. It’s unclear how much money was sent as “reparations.”
The majority of the cash was sent by Hirsi’s white friends in 2020.
The payments came the same day the Congresswoman’s daughter posted, “constantly feeling like I’m obligated to educate. Anyway!! Also thank a black woman who might’ve educated you today.”
“And donate to descendants of enslaved people today,” Hirsi said in a response post.
Both of Hirsi’s parents are Somali immigrants. Advocates for reparations traditionally push for reparation payments to descendants of African Americans enslaved in the United States.
Juneteenth commemorates the official end of slavery in the country in 1865. Hirsi’s mother fled Somalia as a child in 1995 to escape the nation’s civil war. Her father is also a Somali immigrant.
Hirsi is notably a far-left activist and anti-Israel protester who follows in the footsteps of her mother. She’s an organizer for Columbia University Apartheid Divest and for Columbia’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter.
Hirsi was arrested and suspended from Barnard College for her involvement in the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” that ravaged Columbia University in the spring.
Hirsi received glowing praise from outlets like Teen Vogue for her “solidarity” with the Palestinian cause and subsequent arrest. In the interview, she alleged that she was left homeless and without food, despite her close relationship with her politically famous mother.
Omar said she is “enormously proud” of Hirsi for her involvement in the encampment and for her arrest.

Just to clear things up from the get-go, Isra Hirsi's father isn't her mother's brother.
She is a piece of *****
Parents born in Somalia.
Doesn’t sound like “reparations”.
Sounds like mafia-like extortion. “Pay me or my terrorist friends will eff you up.”
Those with self-loathing who would offer reparations are the lowest things on earth.
Real Journalists expose this sht NOW!
Doubt a bunch of white dudes are “supporting” her for nothing in return.
Poor down-trodden little waif.
What happened to “johnny somali” in Korea should happen to her. Video on X and other places.
Agreed.
Agree.
So someone NOT enslaved within the 1800s United States gets reparations FROM Americans who were born in the past few decades at most?
So I now will get reparations for my Irish ancestors who escaped starvation in the Potato Famine. Right?
Summary:
An estimated one million Irish people died from starvation or disease during the Great Famine, also known as the Great Hunger, between 1845 and 1851.
The famine was most severe in the west of Ireland, where some counties lost more than half of their population.
An additional one to two million Irish people left the country to escape poverty and starvation. Many of these emigrants settled in North America and Great Britain.
Britain’s response to the famine included workhouses, which were intended to deal with the crisis, but were overcrowded and led to the deaths of more than 200,000 people.
Minniasota Somali leaders endorsed Trump today!!
“Am I Racist” movie had a scene on this.
Agreed.
That’s right.
Taxman cometh.
I guess we now know what Juneteenth is about
Couldn’t her father-uncle have ponied up some cash?
No, Mr. Editor, it does not. Juneteenth marks the anniversary of a Union's soldier's proclamation in Texas.
The United States continued to cling to slavery for some time afterwards. Look it up.
Reparations for what?
She is not descendant of slaves....
