Trespassing, multiple traffic violations – and oh, she married her brother. My latest in FrontPage:
The striking evidence that Minnesota’s notorious Representative Ilhan Omar married her own brother in an apparent case of immigration fraud is finally making its way into the mainstream, albeit amid a great deal of obfuscation and outright disinformation. However, that curious case is not the only instance in which Omar has been found on the wrong side of the law. The controversial Congressman has a lengthy record of utter contempt for the rule of law, of which she is now ostensibly a guardian.
Omar was recently ordered to pay back thousands of dollars of campaign funds that she spent on personal expenses. According to National Review, Minnesota’s Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board “ordered Omar to reimburse her former campaign committee for $3,500 in personal accounting and travel expenses, and levied a $500 civil penalty against her for misspending the funds.”
Nor is that all: Minnesota’s Alpha News reports that Omar “was arrested in 2013 for trespassing and booked at Hennepin County Jail ‘to prevent further criminal conduct,’ according to a newly uncovered police report.”
Omar had gone, along with a large crowd of other Somalis, to the Hotel Ivy, where former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was staying. Alpha News notes that “according to the police report, hotel staff requested police assistance in clearing the lobby, saying that anyone without a hotel room key was not welcome on the premises and needed to leave immediately. The officer handling the incident said the majority of people who were asked to leave were compliant. However, Omar, when approached, was ‘argumentative’ and refused to leave.”
Even when the other Somalis began to leave, Omar, according to the police report, “remained defiant” and refused to go; finally she was arrested for trespassing.
Then there are the traffic violations. The Minnesota Trial Court Public Access site, which is run by the Minnesota Judicial Branch, lists no fewer than twenty-four violations by Omar, the first on May 28, 2009 and the most recent on January 17, 2019, when Omar was a member of the House of Representatives. There are twelve violations in 2016 alone.
These traffic violations were no big deal – fully half of them are for parking in a no-parking zone and other parking offenses. Omar was also cited twice, on October 17, 2018 and October 25, 2018, for driving with expired plates. On April 27, 2012, she was caught driving without a driver’s license.
None of these traffic arrests are a big deal. Almost everybody gets a few traffic violations in the course of years of driving. But 24 of them? The sheer number of these violations demonstrates that Ilhan Omar believes, apparently with good reason, that she simply need not have any regard for Minnesota law. And when one takes into account the trespassing arrest, the campaign finance violations, and the marriage to her brother, a disturbing pattern emerges. Does this Minnesota lawmaker have any respect at all for the law?
Over the years there have been numerous jihadis in the U.S., Europe, Australia and elsewhere who have announced that they consider themselves to be bound only by the law of Allah, and not by what they consider to be manmade law. They demonstrate their contempt for the latter by refusing to stand for judges and obey other orders. The Qur’an says: “O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you” (Qur’an 4:59). This is not a command to obey earthly authorities, unless they are commanding the Muslim to observe the laws of Islam. The respected and mainstream Qur’an commentary Tafsir al-Jalalayn explains this as meaning that one must obey “those in authority among you, that is, rulers, when they command you to obey God and His Messenger.”
Does Ilhan Omar, whose Sharia-compliance is demonstrated by her hijab, also have this disregard for any law other than the law of Allah? We will probably never know, because no establishment media “journalist” would ever dare ask her about this.
And more importantly, this serial lawbreaker will almost certainly not be held accountable, despite all the evidence of her immigration fraud. She is apparently too useful to powerful interests.
Who are the powerful people who are protecting Ilhan Omar from any legal consequences of her more egregious behavior? When will they, and Omar herself, be held legally accountable?
CogitoErgoSum says
Interesting to note that Ilhan Omar took the place of Keith Ellison in Congress while Ellison became Attorney General of Minnesota. Glen Beck does a good job in this video of trying to sort things out in a complex and convoluted story:

Ilhan Omar’s Contempt for the Law
…………………..
Yes, she has contempt for civilized American law. That she is now in Congress if deeply disturbing.
Westman says
I suspect that, like AOC, Omar is being groomed by both liberal radicals and CAIR, yet, keeps falling into her own private incompetency and succumbing to family demands(such as getting a brother into the US).
A logical conclusion is that her private life will eventually come to the surface and derail her political ambitions. Siding with AOC against the Speaker may have already altered her future by starting an undercurrent within the DNC to exclude her from further positions and publicize her private history.
Wouldn’t that be interesting, a split in the Dems? Who would determine the outcome, the liberal media? Would it be a coup by unelectable radicals?
Judy Dietrich says
Your comment gives the Democratic Party too much credit. Don’t count on anything remotely close to this happening. These women are the front for a much bigger force, and our young people are eating it up. Thank our education system for that!
gravenimage says
Yes–I fear that the Dems are swinging *far* to the left–who ever thought that a time would come when Nancy Pelosi would be considered a “moderate”?
tim gallagher says
I find this report really surprising. Surely if there is evidence that she married her brother as an immigration scam, that would get her thrown out of Congress. I would have thought there would be some kind of strong rule that doing something which shows such a low character, and such extreme contempt for the law, would get her thrown out of her position. I would have thought that even the leftie media would go after her for such a fraud. I also would have thought that there would be enough of a public outcry from outraged average Americans that she’d be a goner. I’m surprised that the “powerful interests” could prevent her being held accountable for such a serious fraud. I’m trying to think how news like this would go down in Australia. I’m not sure about the rules, and Muslims often seem to be allowed to get away with all sorts of garbage because they are “victims” , and being picked on and all that crap, but I think a member of Parliament, who had committed such an immigration fraud would be thrown out of Parliament pretty quickly. I think the public would be outraged by such a serious immigration fraud in a member of Parliament.
Patti Massie says
The brother story has yet to be proven. What is proven is that she filed taxes as married to one man when she was actually married to someone else and she stole money from her own campaign where it appears the only punishment for that was to repay the money and a $500 fine.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for that information, Patti. I guess if they can definitively prove the immigration fraud involving her brother then she’d surely have to be thrown out of Congress. She seems a very dodgy person in a lot of different ways as this report explains. I’m pretty sure that she is displaying a fairly typical Muslim contempt for the laws of the western country (in this case the USA) that she is living in. I think this happens very often amongst Muslims in all western nations. Even the situation you have mentioned where she filed taxes as married to one man when she was actually married to another man seems like a pretty serious misdemeanour for someone in Congress. That seems to be pretty grubby behaviour.
Ginny says
Oh common, they kept Barry on for two terms and he has been a British/Indonesian citizen from day one. Not yet naturalized and law license removed for changing his name illegally. And there’s more…
tim gallagher says
That’s interesting, Ginny. I always tend to think that the USA will not put up with crap the way that some other countries do. I suppose I think that there is enough pride in the country in the USA, which I think is often missing in some western European countries and maybe in Australia, where I live, as well amongst quite a lot of people, to prevent people putting up with these types of displays of contempt for the law among politicians in the USA. I’m a bit surprised by this report and your information. From what I’ve heard about this Omar character, I think it’d be great to see her thrown out the position she occupies at present.
Steve Weatherbe says
It used to be under the English Common Law tradition that anyone could bring an action, an information, to a Justice of the Peace, who then had to decide one way or the other to direct police to investigate. I wonder if this private action still exists in Minnesota, or JPs. It was done in British Columbia once 20 years ago brought by one member of the legislature against another.
tim gallagher says
It’ll be interesting to see what happens to Omar, Steve. Maybe what you mention might apply. With the list of wrongdoings mentioned in this report, it seems certain that some journalists and other people will keep digging. I don’t follow her doings all that closely, but her whingeing and whining does pop up occasionally on conservative TV news shows even here in Australia ( I saw an excerpt of her avoiding answering questions about female genital mutilation on a program the other day), plus when Trump got stuck into the four women a while ago and told them to leave the USA if they hate it so much, it was news, and also here on Jihad Watch I read about her. She seems like a complete pain in the arse and, of course, she’s working for Islam’s attempt to take over.
Wellington says
Ilhan Omar: Consider her the “face of Islam” in America, the “reality of Islam” in America, and you will not be far from the truth. In fact, you would be very close, if not exactly, DOA, i.e., Dead On Accurate.
Nazism—master race. Islam—master faith. Anyone of sense and knowledge should easily be able to take it from here and realize how injurious Islam is to such concepts as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equality under the law, and respect for non-Sharia law. It’s a no-brainer.
Christianblood says
(…Nazism—master race. Islam—master faith…)
Perfectly said!
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Which brings the question: in what do the Islamic masters have faith?
Bruce Williams says
Wellington, I’m going to borrow that phrase if you don’t mind (Nazism—master race. Islam—master faith).
Absolutely brilliant!
oldblindjohn says
I am as anti-islamic as you can get. But this stuff is pretty thin. If you going to bust muslims on islam concentrate on inconsistences. Actual life vs quran/hadiths.
I’ve seen this about Beck before and have poured over hours of video and transcritpts and haven’t found quote. I think Beck is kind of a moron. But fair is fair. I’d love to find it, but not so far.
CogitoErgoSum says
This is not about busting a Muslim on Islam. It’s about immigration fraud and tax fraud. Beck does not claim to have done any investigating himself but rather throughout the video is connecting the dots and summarizing the investigations that have been done by several other journalists, including Ben Steinberg for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
Joe says
Maybe it’s thin, but there is so much of it. This article skips several key allegations. For example, Omar is accused of changing her name from something like “na Sur”, because the Omar family had family in the USA, and Ilhan is accused of committing immigration fraud to get into the country. She is also accused of loan fraud which had to do with a student loan, and she is accused of welfare fraud for collecting money for watching welfare kids when she actually never watched any kids.
On the other hand, I know people who break the law whenever it is convenient, and they have never been in jail. Maybe Omar will follow the same track. To pull this off, she has to have a lot of support from her community, and she probably has it.
Rob says
Ilhan Omar is the Somali Tsarnaev brothers. Take everything from their hosts and never stop hating them for it
Wellington says
Fine and accurate summary, Rob.
Eric Jones says
Miss Ilinformed Omar has been a busy lady. Where does she get the energy in her small frame to be such a habitual scoff law? Her repeated law breaking indicates to me that she has no regard for the oath of office she took when entering congress. I am sure that she has violated it. She needs to be thrown out of congress.
Eric
CogitoErgoSum says
Allah will forgive anything if it is done with the intent of making Islam dominant over all mankind. I’m sure that the only laws that matter to Omar are the ones which are based upon and in compliance with the laws of Allah and his messenger. She took her oath of office with her hand upon the Quran and that is the supreme book of law by which she lives.
Kay says
I don’t think it should be acceptable to take an oath with the K. The point of using the Bible is that it holds the law about telling the truth.
SweetOlBob says
Eric:
Oath ? You expect a muslim to honor an oath ? Do you also expect Bison to drive buses and birds to hitch hike ?
tgusa says
Washington DC has turned our republic in to a dumping ground for foreigners that should never have been allowed in. I get the feeling that DC hates America and Americans.
CogitoErgoSum says
I would be more specific and say it’s mostly the Democrats in DC.
tgusa says
True. But some repubs seem to be ok with all of it.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, Trump seems to be one of the few Repubs in DC with enough backbone to stand up to Dems onslaught to run down our country. When I was a kid I admired John Kennedy and when I became an adult much of the time, while not a Democrat, I would vote Democrat. How foolish I was. But I don’t think John Kennedy would recognize what his Party has become over the past half-century.
How odd his famous words at his inauguration seem today and even more odd the words that immediately came next in his speech — which were directed at the world:
“And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”
tgusa says
Absolutely nothing wrong with admiring JFK. Imo he was an Americans American. And no, he would not fit in with the dem party today. Of course, the area that I grew up in a democrat didn’t have a chance winning any kind of public office, not even as assistant dog catcher, and so I really didn’t know anything regarding most democrats. Back when I was young the man I most admired as an Americans American was John Wayne. Loved him, and then Ronald Reagan came along and I saw that he too was an Americans American. Reagan was Cut from similar cloth as Kennedy and Wayne.
It was Reagan that compelled me to do my small part for America and so I joined the military to help make a little difference in his quest to take down the evil empire. People don’t realize that in those days, in the wake of Vietnam the military had fallen on hard times, few were willing to join. I know my parents were concerned when I came home and told them what I had done, they had no idea what I was up to regarding that. Still to this day I remember the look on their faces when I filled then in. And that in spite of the fact that I was born on an Army base. That was the America that I loved and respected, my how things have changed and not for the better.
A book has been written about the intellectual link between JFK and Ronald Reagan. Today I consider President Trump to be part of that club that I still so admire and respect, the small club of Americans Americans.
Paul Wheeler says
Why hasn’t anyone (I may be wrong on this, and if so, please direct me to the truth) asked Rep, Omar, a devout believer in Shariah why she is a legislator, enacting man-made law, when Allah’s law is all we need?
As to her many traffic violations, at least she’s showing the proper level of Muslim contempt for kuffar law. So she’s golden on that score.
Theo says
I really hope that this women gets under Trump’s radar. Hopefully if it does he will do something about this.
I also hope that she is married to her brother and I really hope that the truth come out so that she can be publicly shamed and the real truth about muslims own agenda comes to light. One simply cannot have an extremist in any form of government that does not adhere to Sharia.

Pull on an Islamic head dress raise your hand and scream “Look at me, look at me, I agree with Muhammad, I am STUPID!”
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Rep Ilhan D-MN should be charged and given a fair trial on several counts, immigration fraud, a felony, foremost among them. Conviction of immigration fraud by law means she’d be deported back to her home country Somalia.
But the conditional word should” is the key here. It’s up to AG Wm. Barr, and ultimately up to Prez Trump, whether she’ll be charged. My feel is no, she’ll be let off, maybe with an administrative slap on the wrist, but more likely her apparent crime will be swept under the rug altogether, as per standard operating procedure when it comes to reverse racism.
Drekinn says
Matthew 22
[37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[38] This is the first and great commandment.
[39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
gfys says
if any other person in this country did this they would be in jail and or deported. This is a prime example how deep this group has infiltrated government the Democrats are scared of these people
lebel says
“Does Ilhan Omar, whose Sharia-compliance is demonstrated by her hijab, also have this disregard for any law other than the law of Allah? We will probably never know, because no establishment media “journalist” would ever dare ask her about this.”
This is so tendentious that honest jihadwatchers would have to see right through it (or maybe not).
Omar has traffic violations, she does not care about the law, jihadis don’t care about the law, jihadis are Muslim, Omar is Muslim……draw your own conclusions.
Angemon says
“Omar has traffic violations”
Doesn’t she?
“she does not care about the law”
Does she?
“jihadis don’t care about the law”
Do they?
“jihadis are Muslim”
Aren’t they?
“Omar is Muslim”
Isn’t she?
FYI says
She has nothing but contempt for the {actual}GOD’S LAW either,subscribing as she does to a pagan ARAB god LAH{“the BEST of deceivers” k3:54}.
A god who preaches a Doctrine of Hate,al walaa wal baraa.
A god who teaches muslims in his ‘holy’ koran that it is OK to break God’s commandments.
A god so obtuse he refuses to accept Moses was Jewish
{an antisemitic god!}
She wears her hijab in honor of a misogynistic god who teaches that a woman in islam can only have a Testimony worth HALF that of a man due to,as muhammed said,”the deficiency of a woman’s mind”
And marrying her brother:yuk.
But then given that allah is ok with rape,murder,stealing from infidels etc it should not be surprising its adherents have no moral compass.
islam,its “holy” koran,its warped “prophet” and its pagan ARAB god LAH are immoral.
Micha T. says
This woman is simply NOT FIT for the job and should be kicked out of Congress and kicked out of the country. There is NOTHING good in that woman.
