Somali Jihadist and Ilhan Omar’s Donor Gets Slap-on-the-Wrist Sentence — 8.5 Years for Plotting to Join ISIS, Praising New Orleans Massacre That Killed 14 Americans

In yet another damning example of how radical Islamic terror infiltrates America under decades of failed open-border and refugee resettlement policies pushed by Democrats, a 23-year-old Somali migrant-turned-naturalized citizen from Minneapolis was sentenced yesterday to a mere 102 months, that’s just 8.5 years, in federal prison for actively trying to join ISIS and cheering the savage New Orleans jihad attack that slaughtered 14 innocent Americans.

U.S. District Judge Donovan W. Frank, appointed by Bill Clinton, handed down the sentence to Abdisatar Ahmed Hassan on Tuesday in Minnesota federal court, along with 15 years of supervised release.

Hassan pleaded guilty last September to one count of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State.

Federal Election Commission records show Hassan made contributions to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign committee, which operates in Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District. In the same community, Hassan lived and promoted ISIS propaganda.

By December 2024, Hassan was all-in. He quit his job, drained his savings, bought a one-way ticket to Somalia, and posted: “I will become ISIS straight away.”

FBI surveillance caught him trying to board a flight from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on December 13. Turned away for lacking proper documents, he simply rebooked and tried again on December 29. Customs and Border Protection agents stopped him in Chicago, where they discovered his birth certificate, naturalization certificate, and high school diploma in his bag.

During questioning, Hassan admitted his support for ISIS, rejected democracy, and declared America’s justice system “terrorism.”

Undeterred after being blocked from reaching the caliphate, Hassan doubled down once back in Minnesota. He praised the January 1, 2025, ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in New Orleans, where a jihadist mowed down 14 Americans and injured dozens more, calling the killer a “Muhaajid” and “the legend that killed the Americans.”

In late February 2025, he filmed his own ISIS propaganda videos: driving at night with a homemade black ISIS flag in one hand and an open long-bladed buck knife on his lap. When the FBI arrested him on February 27, agents found the same knife on his person and the ISIS flag in his vehicle.

Ilhan Omar’s California Winery LLC Dissolved Just 9 Days After She Scrubbed Millions from Her Financial Disclosures

The Minnesota Democrat’s husband’s questionable California winery LLC has been officially dissolved, just nine days after she quietly amended her financial disclosures to slash her reported wealth from millions down to peanuts.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Omar’s husband Tim Mynett’s ESTCRU LLC (also known as eStCru Wines) was at the heart of a suspicious asset explosion that rocketed the couple’s net worth to as high as $30 million before suddenly vanishing into thin air.

In February, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer sent a letter to Omar’s husband, Timothy Mynett, about the sudden wealth.

The letter reads:

Financial disclosure forms, filed by your wife Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, show eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, which you hold ownership stakes in, went from being worth as much as $51,000 in 2023 to as much as $30 million in 2024.

Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife.

Media reports further suggest that you may have raised money from investors using misleading information, meaning some of those funds may have been obtained improperly. 3 As a result, the Committee requests documents and communications related to the finances of eStCru LLC (eStCru) and Rose Lake Capital LLC (Rose Lake Capital).

Representative Omar’s 2023 Financial Disclosure Report, filed on May 14, 2024, lists a stake in your winery eStCru worth between $15,001 and $50,000, and a stake in your venture capital management firm Rose Lake Capital worth between $1 and $1000, as well as various retirement accounts, making your combined total listed assets worth no more than $208,000.

Representative Omar’s 2024 Financial Disclosure Report, filed on May 14, 2025, lists a stake in eStCru worth between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000, and a stake in Rose Lake Capital worth between $5,000,001-$25,000,000, making both of your assets potentially worth more than $30 million, an increase of more than 140 times in just one year.

There are serious public concerns about how your businesses increased so dramatically in value only a year after reporting very limited assets.

After receiving the letter, Omar quietly amended her financial disclosure on March 26, 2026, dramatically revising her reported wealth downward, from what had appeared to be potentially millions in assets to a far more modest range between $18,000 and $95,000.

Her office scrambled to explain away the massive discrepancy, blaming what they described as an “accounting error” tied to her husband’s business liabilities. According to Omar’s team, the original filing failed to properly deduct debts, creating what they called a “misleading picture of far greater wealth.”

And what happened next? On April 4, 2026, just nine days after that amended filing, ESTCRU LLC was officially terminated.

Minnesota State Senator Michael Holmstrom sounded the alarm on X, revealing that a company tied to Omar’s financial disclosures, ESTCRU LLC, a California-based winery venture, was abruptly shut down.

Attached to his post was the official “Certificate of Cancellation – LLC Termination” for ESTCRU LLC, Entity Number 202018810577. The state of California has now accepted and filed the termination.

The LLC is no longer active. Its powers, rights, and privileges are terminated. The “business” has been formally dissolved and canceled.

The document was signed by her husband Tim Mynett’s business partner, former DNC adviser Will Hailer.

ICE agent charged with assault in Minnesota for allegedly pointing gun at motorists

An ICE agent has been charged with assault for allegedly pointing his gun at people in a car while driving on a Minneapolis highway, prosecutors in Minnesota said on Thursday.

Hennepin county attorney Mary Moriarty said she believed it was the first criminal case brought against a federal immigration officer involved in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown that surged federal authorities into cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland and New Orleans.

An arrest warrant says Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr was charged with two counts of second-degree aggravated assault. The warrant says Morgan was working as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in the Minneapolis area on 5 February when he pointed a gun at the occupants of a vehicle on Minnesota state highway 62.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and justice department officials didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment. The Associated Press called a number associated with Morgan and sent a message to his possible email address but did not receive any immediate response.

Moriarty said during a news conference that Morgan was driving a rented, unmarked SUV on the shoulder of the highway when a car on the road moved into the shoulder to try to slow Morgan down, not knowing he was a federal officer. After the car returned into the legal lane, Morgan pulled up alongside and pointed his service weapon at the people in the car.

Morgan, 35, and his partner, who was not charged, were on their way to the federal building to end their shift when they were caught in traffic. Charging documents note Morgan did not say the incident occurred during an enforcement action.

According to the charging documents, Morgan told a Minnesota state patrol officer that he pulled up alongside the victim’s vehicle, drew his firearm and yelled: “Police. Stop.” The warrant says the victims couldn’t hear him because their windows were up.

Morgan was charged with two counts of assault because he threatened both people in the vehicle, and there is a warrant out for his arrest, Moriarty said.

She said Morgan’s actions were beyond the scope of a federal officer’s authority.

“There is no such thing as absolute immunity for federal agents who violate the law in the state of Minnesota,” she said.

In Minnesota, felony second-degree assault is punishable by up to seven years in prison, or up to 10 years’ imprisonment if the assault inflicted “substantial bodily harm”.

‘HELL NO!’ Public high-school remodel features Muslim prayer room and foot-washing station

A Minnesota school district has confirmed that part of a remodeled section of its high school will include a Muslim prayer room and foot-washing station, calling into question adherence to “separation of church and state” in the use of public funds.

According to AlphaNews reporter Liz Collin, the school district affirmed the development for Park Center Senior High in Osseo, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, saying the Muslim-centered facility was “included in updated plans after hearing from user groups on student needs.”

Collin reports a tipster told her: “This is undoubtedly for Muslim students only. I cannot understand how this can be happening in this era of no religion in schools.”

One commenter on X noted: “Ten Commandments in schools, includes command not to kill.”

Liberals: “HELL NO!! Separation of church and state!”

“The Quran that calls for jihad and killing, foot washing, no more pork at lunch, 5 calls to prayer, and prayer room with carpets!”

Liberals: “Duuuuuuh… okay?!?!?”

The perceived “need” for students relates to the surge in the number of Muslim Somali migrants settling in Minnesota in recent years, including some who have bilked taxpayers out of billions of dollars in government payments meant to support day care centers and other facilities.

Referencing the infamous “Learing Center” sign uncovered in Minnesota as part of Nick Shirley’s investigative reporting, one commenter remarked: “They should change their name to OSSEO SENIOR LEARIN CENTER HIGH SCHOOL….. at this pace we will become Somalia before 2040. The state flag is Somali already.”

Whistleblowers Threatened, Fraud Ignored: The Tim Walz Impeachment Begins

A formal call for the impeachment of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been presented, citing allegations related to the handling of fraud oversight, executive authority, and the administration’s response to internal warnings.

Mike Wiener outlined the request, pointing to provisions within Minnesota’s Constitution and state statutes governing fiduciary responsibility and fraud prevention. He said the effort is based on what he described as failures in oversight and execution of state law.

“Calling for the impeachment of Governor Tim Walz for failure to faithfully execute the laws of the state of Minnesota, abuse of power and obstruction of oversight under Minnesota article Constitution, Article eight, section one,” Wiener said.

He referenced the constitutional standard for impeachment.

“The governor may be impeached for malfeasance. Non feasants are corrupt conduct,” Wiener said.

Wiener said the threshold for impeachment does not require a criminal conviction.

“These standards do not require a criminal conviction, they require a breach of public trust in a failure to uphold the duties of the office,” he said.

He also cited another constitutional provision related to the execution of laws.

Far-Left Minnesota District Attorney Announces FELONY Assault Charges Against ICE Agent in Minneapolis

One of the most radical district attorneys in the entire country has escalated her war against the Trump Administration and ICE in dramatic fashion.

As KTTC reported, Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty announced that her office had filed two counts of assault charges against an ICE agent during a Thursday press conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

“Today, our office has charged Gregory Donnell Morgan, an ICE agent, with two counts of second degree assault,” Moriarty said. “There is now a warrant for Mr. Morgan’s arrest which allows law enforcement to arrest him anywhere in the country.”

Moriarty, who is backed by leftist billionaire George Soros, went on to say that the case is from a February 5th incident on Highway 62. Morgan was allegedly driving an unmarked, rented SUV illegally on the shoulder of the eastbound lanes near the Portland Avenue exit.

Moriarty said Morgan was appearing to bypass slower traffic and going after the victims in their car.

New GOP Outrage As Minnesota Dems Unite to Shield Walz From Impeachment

There’s one thing you have to admit about Democrats: They stick together. They have each other’s backs, regardless of what accusations may be flying about, at least until things get so egregiously bad with a particular donkey (Eric Swalwell) that they just have to admit that the dead woodchuck under the porch is starting to stink.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz doesn’t appear to have reached that odoriferous point yet. Minnesota’s Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), that being what they call Democrats in Minnesota, has now united to block any impeachment proceedings by Republicans against Governor Walz and his equally dead-woodchuck-smelling Attorney General, Keith Ellison.

Conservatives, not just in Minnesota but everywhere, are not happy with the move. 

Conservatives on social media erupted with outrage Thursday after Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota united to block a Republican effort to investigate further and impeach Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison.

A resolution taken up by the Minnesota House Rules and Legislative Administration Committee to launch an impeachment investigation and allow the committee to hold hearings, issue subpoenas and further investigate the massive fraud scandal was blocked after all eight Democrats on the committee voted against it, Fox 9 Minneapolis reported.

The lawmakers deadlocked 8-8 on a straight party-line vote.

Because of course they did. Democrats are lockstep in support of their guy, and honestly, that’s something Republicans could stand to be just a little better at.

Here’s a real howler:

“This is a fundamentally unserious proposal by a fundamentally unserious party who isn’t interested in governing,” Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Rep. Michael Howard said about the move. 

Oh, the irony! Half of the state of Minnesota is raking in billions in blatant fraud, and he’s saying that the minority Republicans are screwing up?

Harmeet Dhillon Drops the Hammer on Minnesota’s Racist Affirmative Action Scam

Civil rights attorney Harmeet Dhillon detailed a legal challenge targeting Minnesota’s longstanding affirmative action policies, arguing that the state’s framework violates federal law by discriminating against majority groups in employment.

Dhillon said similar policies have appeared in multiple cities across the country, pointing to recent examples where public backlash led to reversals.

“Well, look, Chicago has this many big cities have it,” Dhillon said. “When I tweeted about Asheville trying to do this, they withdrew their policy.”

She described the issue as widespread and ongoing.

“Asheville, North Carolina, it’s like Whack a Mole out there,” Dhillon said.

According to Dhillon, Minnesota’s policies date back decades and are rooted in earlier legal interpretations that she said have since been challenged by more recent court rulings.

“But the state of Minnesota has long had this affirmative action regime dating back to the 1960s and 1970s a couple of bad Supreme Court precedents that wrongly interpreted Title Seven,” she said.

Dhillon pointed to recent Supreme Court decisions that she said clarify the legal standard regarding discrimination.

Leftists Mobs Violently Attacked a TPUSA Journalist. Will They Face Justice?

Savannah Hernandez, a TPUSA contributor and independent journalist, was covering a Left-wing protest in Minneapolis when she was assaulted by a mob that identified as Antifa.

One of the men who attacked Hernandez was identified by Alpha News and Crime Watch Minneapolis as Chris Ostroushko. He was seen on video shoving Hernandez to the ground.

Here’s more:

“Apparently Chris Ostroushko is also a Minneapolis FRAUDSTER and was convicted of defrauding the state unemployment program back in the early 2000s,” Hernandez wrote in an X post reacting to CrimeWatchMpls’ post of a screenshot of the complaint.

Hernandez posted a video of the incident to X on Sunday, which has received nearly 4 million views and 114,000 likes as of Monday afternoon. The clip shows the journalist, holding a camera and arguing with the demonstrators, before Ostroushko can be seen shoving her and shouting an expletive.

A man then shouts at Ostroushko and the crowd of protesters he is with to “back the f*** up,” adding, “it’s over.” However, Ostroushko continues to walk forward, shouting and pointing, prompting multiple people to restrain him.

“I’m waking up with a headache and stiff neck this morning due to how violently anti-ICE activist, Chris Ostroushko, shoved me down yesterday,” Hernandez wrote in the viral post. “A second angle shows that he had to be held back by 5 men as he continued to charge at me.”

Political pressure from Somali community hampered Minnesota fraud probes, whistleblower says

A key whistle-blower, and one of the first to draw attention to what he believed was widespread fraud in the Minnesota welfare system, says that state officials hampered probes into the allegations over concerns about pressure from the state’s Somali immigrant community. 

That community has been at the center of recent welfare fraud accusations, including the Feeding Our Future fraud case, in which prosecutors say more than 70 defendants — most of them part of Minneapolis’ Somali community — were charged in connection to a $250 million pandemic-era fraud on a state-funded meals program for children. 

Last year, new charges in the Feeding Our Future case sparked renewed interest in the state’s federally-funded daycare program. Independent journalists flocked to Minneapolis and recorded videos of empty daycare centers that had received millions in state grants. 

“It was obvious that they were committing fraud”: DHS investigator

But, concerns about Minneapolis daycare centers go back at least a decade, according to the whistle-blower, Scott Dexter, who worked as an investigator at the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) from 2013 to 2019. He told Just the News that his team uncovered evidence of fraud in the state’s taxpayer-funded daycare system almost immediately after he started his work. 

“The very first [daycare] that we investigated […] had received about $3.75 million in one year, and so it was obvious that they were committing fraud,” Dexter told the Just the News, No Noise TV show on Tuesday.  

“And the number of these childcare centers would be owned by the same owners, or there’d be, you know, intertwined people involved in it. So one daycare center was involved with another daycare center, so it was obvious that it was a coordinated fraud scheme,” said Dexter. 

In his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee earlier this year, Dexter said that he was hired after a 28-year law enforcement career to be part of a new investigative unit in the Office of the Inspector General at the Minnesota DHS tasked with identifying fraud in the state’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). 

Dexter testified that what his team uncovered was “deeply concerning” regarding daycare centers operating out of commercial spaces “with windows covered, no visible play areas, and very few children ever present.” After reviewing records and surveilling locations, they found “documented patterns of overbilling, nonexistent attendance, and in some cases, children being signed in for hours they were never actually at the center.”
