House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) should garnish leftist Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) taxpayer-funded salary to keep her up to date on her student loan payments, a watchdog said Thursday.
Omar has fallen behind on her student loan payments and has attempted to “bully” federal officials over her debts, the American Accountability Foundation (AAF) alleged in a Thursday letter to Johnson. In his letter, AAF President Tom Jones asked Johnson to impound Omar’s Congressional salary to pay her student loans.

Ilhan Omar owes between $15,000-$50,000k in student loans, according to public records.
Is Trying To ‘Bully’ Education Department Over Unpaid Student Loans, Watchdog Reveals
snip——AAF President Tom Jones asked Speaker Johnson to impound Omar’s Congressional salary to pay her student loans. “We are writing today to share serious concerns about abuse of office and abuse of government loans by a member of the House of Representatives, Representative Ilhan Omar,” Jones wrote. “It has come to AAF’s attention that Representative Omar is in collection proceedings on her federally guaranteed student loans.” Omar, who has supported plans to cancel student loan debt, has between $15,000-$50,000 in student loan debt, according to her most recent financial disclosure. The date the loans occurred is listed as October 2005.
“As you know, these loans are guaranteed by the United States Government and Representative Omar’s default would shift the cost of her student loans onto the U.S. taxpayer,” Jones wrote. “The fact that someone making $174,000 as a Member of Congress cannot pay their student loans is unconscionable and embarrassing.”
Omar is also reportedly attempting to pressure the Education Department over her student loan repayment, a source told AAF. “Adding insult to injury, there are credible claims that she is using her influence as a Member of Congress to bully the Department of Education into not collecting the past-due payments,” Jones wrote.
Jones has filed a freedom of information request for correspondence between Omar and the Education Department to “fully understand the scale of her abuse of office.” This request, Jones believes, may take a while because of the ongoing government shutdown. In the meantime, Jones said that Johnson should take action to ensure that Omar’s payments are made. “What we’re asking is the speaker to garnish our wages and impound them and to work with the Department of Education to find out how much she owes the federal government and pay that until her loans are current,” Jones told The Daily Wire.
The letter asks Johnson to work with the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives, the official who stewards House operations and oversees administrative, technical, and operational needs.
She should be removed for abuse of office.
Can’t her brother husband help her pay?
The campaign promise to abolish the Education Department needs to be kept. Why is it still there? Why has nobody asked congress to vote on a bill to abolish.
Lol he has probably d
quit paying on his own loans.
She should be removed from the country. She has no allegience to America.
Reported range of her (joint with current husband #3, the non-Somali campaign consultant) wealth is up to $30M, with most of that coming since prior reporting period. But she couldn’t manage to pay off a mere $50-100k.
Muslims don’t have to pay back a loan that accrues interest because the loan is not Shariah compliant. /s
It comes as no surprise that Ilhan Omar is a deadbeat.
This is the difference between the two parties. If you reversed everything the rats would have already garnished the wages and pulled her off any committee. The GOP brings marshmallows to a gunfight.
IF SHE VOTED TO CANCEL STUDENT LOAN DEBT-—ISN’T THAT A COMPLETE CONFLICT OF INTEREST???
Deport the bitch.
Omar is just another Congressional Muslim that is out to destroy this Republic. This is the gratitude those poor refugees show the US for saving their lives:”During the Obama administration’s eight years in office, the State Department resettled roughly 54,000 Somali refugees throughout the United States, according to the Refugee Processing Center”
Muslims do not migrate to assimilate but invade to conquer and convert.
Oh, please, do it, do it, do it!
She’s still here, no deportation yet?
Somalis have carried their ingrained clan hatreds and divisions from Somalia into the Midwest. Ilhan Omar is of the "Darod" Clan, and uses their language, cultural touchstones in her speech, and promotes their interests in her local politics.
It has caused a lot of distrust in the USA from Somalis of other clans, particularly the Hawiye Clan, who feel they are losing out. In Minneapolis' recent election, the Somali Hiwayes actually organized to help Jacob Frey, as they did not want another Darod, Omar Fateh, to be elected Mayor.
Thanks to marxist race politics and Democrat corruption - one now needs to become adept at Somali clan history and anthropology to govern in the American midwest. Tragic.
ZERO perpwalks.
ZERO mugshots.
They will remain in power and they will take their revenge on US!
Omar’s default would shift the cost of her student loans onto the U.S. taxpayer.
Ilhan Omar = Tax Payer Parasite
