Records Just Tied Ilhan Omar’s Sister to Convicted Feeding Our Future Fraud Ringleaders’ Home

Feeding Our Future ringleader Aimee Bock is serving 41 years for stealing $250 million meant to feed hungry Minnesota kids.

Now records show Ilhan Omar's own sister incorporated her company at that same fraud network's address.

That address ties her sister directly into Aimee Bock's convicted fraud network.

One Lakeville House Connects Three Convicted Fraudsters

Records show Grit Partners, the consulting firm Ilhan Omar's sister Sahra Noor founded, was set up using a residential address on Hyacinth Avenue in the Twin Cities suburb of Lakeville.

The people living at that address are Mashah Ahmed Ali and his wife, Ister Ahmed Afraa.

Afraa and Hanna Marekegn set up a business together called Sunrise Business Center.

Marekegn later pleaded guilty to wire fraud after admitting she stole $7 million meant to feed children, then spent it on a mansion for herself.

That same Hyacinth Avenue address was also used to incorporate Diversity Childcare Center LLC, which listed Feeding Our Future ringleader Aimee Bock as its point of contact.

State investigative records tie Afraa to Sahra Nur, another convicted Feeding Our Future figure sentenced to four years in prison.

Investigators say at least 17 companies were set up out of Nur's own home, most of them built to bill the government or launder stolen money.

Omar's Sister Already Had a Government Money Trail

While Ilhan Omar served in the Minnesota House, she steered a $2 million earmark to her sister's clinic, People's Center Clinics & Services.

Noor later founded Grit Partners Consulting and claims the firm has secured more than $20 million in funding tied to the CDC, USAID, GAVI and the World Bank.

Noor left the clinic and moved to Kenya right as reporters started asking questions about Omar's past marriage, which some have alleged was actually to her own brother.

Noor's husband, Mohamed Keynan, left a job at the Minnesota Department of Human Services and went on to serve as chief of staff to Somalia's prime minister.

Keynan is also known by the surname Ali, matching the name of Mashah Ahmed Ali, the man who owns the Hyacinth Avenue property where Noor's firm was incorporated.

Reached by phone, Ali denied knowing anything about the companies registered to his address, saying "there must be some sort of scam going on, I have no idea."

Democrats Already Blocked One Records Request

Minnesota's House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee spent months trying to get Omar to testify about her connections to Feeding Our Future.

She ignored the invitations and blew through a May 5 deadline to hand over documents.

Republicans on the committee moved to subpoena her records, but three Democrats withheld the votes needed to reach the required two-thirds majority.

Committee chair Kristin Robbins has since asked congressional leaders James Comer and Ted Cruz to pick up where Minnesota Democrats left off.

Omar has denied any wrongdoing and says she had no knowledge of the fraud.

Feeding Our Future stands as the largest pandemic-era fraud scheme ever charged in America, and prosecutors say the convictions are still stacking up.

Investigators say the fraudsters spent stolen taxpayer money on mansions, luxury cars and overseas property while children went hungry.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Dotson said Bock and her co-conspirators "orchestrated one of the largest frauds against a social service program ever in Minnesota."

Every time investigators pull a thread in this case, it runs straight back through Ilhan Omar's own family.

Omar herself has stonewalled the one committee with the power to make her answer for any of it.

Minnesota Democrats had the votes to force those answers and chose to protect her instead.

If Congress wants the truth, it may have to do what Minnesota Democrats refused to do.
