At least she has the support of her base.
After decades of wildly flouting every kind of law and regulation, the law may finally be coming down on Rep. Ilhan Omar. And the Somali Islamist’s core base is standing with her. By that I mean the mainstream media and unindicted terror funding co-conspirators.
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an unindicted terror funding co-conspirator hate group, issued a statement from National Executive Director Nihad Awad, who had celebrated the Oct 7 attack, “We stand in solidarity with Rep. Ilhan Omar.”
“President Trump has spent years obsessively smearing Rep. Omar and demanding that law enforcement target her. So have other anti-Muslim extremists,” Awad, who had expressed support for Hamas and for the World Trade Center bombers, objected. “We call on all political leaders to condemn this targeting of Rep. Omar, as well as the broader systematic targeting of Somali Americans in Minnesota.”
This appears to be a reference to the Somali systemic fraudsters who had looted the state of billions of dollars.
CAIR Minnesota has announced a “solidarity rally” with Rep. Omar. But I’m not sure that having terrorist-adjacent groups rally to her is that helpful for the beleaguered congresswoman.

No surprise. cair should be investigated also, as part of the possible charges against elmi include “conspiracy.”
Conspiracy….two or more people planning a crime or crimes, making plans, taking actions that further the crimes.

What a super drag Somalis are here in America, whether in Minnesota, Maine, Ohio or wherever because, unlike so many previous immigrants such as the Italians, Cubans, Poles, Irish, et al., they overwhelmingly don’t admire America or have any desire to assimilate. Indeed, like Omar herself, they have a contempt for dhimmi America and expect jizya in many forms. If there were a category for the single most wretched people on the planet, Somalis would be major “contenders.”

They’re seditionists and insurrectionists, in league with Islamist enemies, so provoke a confrontation and shoot the lot. Glory be to Allah! – who they can loin in hell with no 72 virgins or toothless old hags.
