A new investigation found Somali fraud close to home for Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) as a residential address appeared to implicate her own sister.
The Squad member has herself been dodging probes related to billions of dollars in fraud in her adopted home state, especially involving her own Somali community. Now, public records have raised serious questions about Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, and her link to an address shared by at least three Feeding Our Future convicts.
Detailed Friday by Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak, public records showed the Noor-founded Grit Partners Consulting was incorporated at a Lakeville, Minnesota home “occupied by Mashah Ahmed Ali and his wife Ister (a.k.a. Ismahan) Ahmed Afraa.”

It was at that Hyacinth Ave. address the incorporation records detailed, “Afraa opened a company called Sunrise Business Center, Inc. alongside Hanna Marekegn. Marekegn is directly involved in the fraud scandal, pleading guilty in 2022 to wire fraud for stealing $7 million. Marekegn claimed to be feeding 4,000 poor children a day. Instead she bought a mansion for herself, claiming she embodied the ‘American Dream.’ Marekegn testified under oath that she falsely alleged racism to manipulate Minnesota bureaucrats to look the other way at red flags.”
“Afraa, who worked with Marekegn also incorporated Sunshine Care Center MN, Inc., which claimed the same office address as Sunrise Business Center. On Linkedin, Marekegn listed her employer as Sunshine Care Center at that address,” Rosiak further reported.
Additionally, Afraa’s business and Diversity Childcare Center LLC, of the same address, listed Aimee Bock as point of contact. Bock was sentenced to over 41 years behind bars for wire fraud and bribery.
Rosiak’s investigation also indicated that Afraa’s own Aflah Property Inc. was one of at least 17 different companies using the home address of Sahra Nur, a Feeding Our Future key player sentenced to four years in prison.

As for Noor, her own website states, “She has secured more than $20 million in funding for health initiatives and consulted on projects backed by the US CDC, USAID, GAVI, and the World Bank, to name a few.” Her People’s Center Clinics & Services received a $2 million earmark when Omar was a state representative.

Meanwhile, as previously reported, Omar has refused requests for documents and testimony as Democrats in the state legislature shielded the congresswoman from an effort to issue a subpoena.
Earlier this year, Breitbart News reported that Noor moved back to Africa to run Grit Partners from Kenya while her husband, Mohamed Kenyan, took experience working in local and state government in Minnesota to “work as chief of staff to then-Somali Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khayre and policy advisor to then-President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed.”
Contact with Mashah Ahmed Ali, whom Rosiak noted shared the same last name with Noor’s husband’s other identity, Mohamed Ali, found him claiming no knowledge of the companies registered at his home as he told the reporter, “There must be some sort of scam going on, I have no idea.”
“For the last 10 years I have a professional job, I have nothing to do with anything,” he added as neither his wife nor Noor responded when contacted.
