Report * The Gateway Pundit * by Jim Hᴏft

Another stunning connection has emerged between Rep. Ilhan Omar’s family and the sprawling Feeding Our Future fraud scandal that robbed American taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars intended to feed needy children.

Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, registered her consulting company at a Minnesota residence connected through business records to several major figures in the Feeding Our Future operation, according to an investigation by The Daily Wire.

Noor founded Grit Partners Consulting, a health and leadership consultancy focused largely on projects in Africa.

Noor’s website claims that she has “secured more than $20 million in funding for health initiatives” and consulted on projects backed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USAID, GAVI, and the World Bank.

The website does not say that Grit Partners itself received $20 million from USAID. Rather, Noor claims to have secured more than $20 million for health initiatives while consulting on projects supported by multiple agencies and organizations, including USAID. Noor’s website

But it is the address used to incorporate her company that is now raising serious questions.

According to The Daily Wire’s investigation, Grit Partners was registered at a home on Hyacinth Way in Lakeville, Minnesota.

That address reportedly belongs to Mashah Ahmed Ali and his wife, Ister Ahmed Afraa, also known as Ismahan Afraah.

Afraa’s business history intersects with multiple individuals and entities tied to the Feeding Our Future scandal.

The Daily Wire reported that Afraa established Sunrise Business Center with Hanna Marekegn, who pleaded guilty to participating in the Feeding Our Future fraud operation.

Marekegn admitted to helping steal millions of dollars while falsely claiming to provide meals to thousands of children. She also admitted that accusations of racism were used to pressure state bureaucrats when they questioned the operation’s obviously suspicious numbers.

Afraa also incorporated Sunshine Care Center MN, according to the report. State health records reportedly listed Feeding Our Future founder Aimee Bock as the contact person for Sunshine Care Center.

Bock was sentenced in May to 500 months — more than 41 years — in federal prison for leading the massive scheme.

According to the Justice Department, Feeding Our Future fraudulently obtained and distributed more than $240 million through over 250 meal sites.

The same Hyacinth Way residence was also used as the registered address for Diversity Childcare Center LLC, with Afraa listed as its manager in Minnesota state records. The Daily Wire reported that state records likewise identified Bock as a contact for that operation.

Another figure connected to Afraa is Sahra Mohamed Nur — not to be confused with Ilhan Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor.

Nur was sentenced to 51 months in prison and ordered to pay more than $5 million in restitution after pleading guilty to wire fraud and money laundering.

Nur operated S & S Catering, which claimed to have served more than eight million meals through the federal food program. The Justice Department said the company received more than $16 million in Feeding Our Future reimbursements based on fraudulent claims.

Afraa reportedly operated a company from Nur’s home, while the two women were associated with similarly named property companies.

This is quite the web.

When The Daily Wire contacted Mashah Ahmed Ali, he claimed he had never heard of the businesses registered at his home or the companies associated with his wife.

“There must be some sort of scam going on, I have no idea,” he told the outlet.

Ali reportedly refused to provide contact information for his wife. Afraa and Noor did not respond to The Daily Wire’s requests for comment.

To be clear, the shared address and business associations do not by themselves prove that Sahra Noor or Grit Partners participated in the Feeding Our Future fraud. Neither Noor nor Grit Partners has been publicly charged in that case.

But the newly uncovered connections demand an explanation — especially as Ilhan Omar continues to stonewall Minnesota lawmakers seeking records about her own dealings with individuals involved in the scandal.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Omar’s name appeared repeatedly in court exhibits from Bock’s criminal case, including an email chain titled “Ilhan’s Office.”

Another email reportedly carried the subject line “help with USDA food program,” while investigators recovered a text-message exchange between Omar and Bock during a search of Bock’s home.

Omar also promoted the federal food program at Safari Restaurant, one of the scheme’s major fraudulent meal sites, and her campaign received contributions from multiple Feeding Our Future defendants.

Minnesota’s House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee invited Omar to testify and requested her communications with Bock, Safari Restaurant personnel, her former staffer Guhaad Hashi Said, and numerous other Feeding Our Future defendants.

Omar failed to appear and did not provide the requested records by the committee’s May 5 deadline.

Minnesota Democrats then blocked the committee’s attempt to subpoena her. The motion received five Republican votes but failed to reach the six votes required for approval. The Minnesota House’s official account confirms that the subpoena attempt failed after all three Democrats present opposed it.

Omar has denied having any knowledge of the fraudulent scheme.

“Any claim that I had knowledge of this scheme is flat-out false,” Omar said in May.

She defended the bipartisan MEALS Act, which she introduced during the pandemic, and said she was grateful that Bock and others were being held accountable.

But Omar’s denial does not answer the committee’s questions, and it certainly does not explain why her sister’s company was incorporated at a residence connected through public records to several central figures in the largest fraud scandal in Minnesota history.

The American people deserve answers.
