From the Washington Free Beacon: Isra Hirsi, the daughter of “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), has received “reparations” payments from her white friends on Juneteenth most years since 2019, the Washington Free Beacon has found.
Both of Hirsi’s parents are Somali immigrants. Reparations advocates, meanwhile, typically push for payments to descendants of African Americans enslaved in the United States, while Juneteenth commemorates the nation’s 1865 end of slavery.
Hirsi, a far-left activist, anti-Israel agitator, and Barnard College senior, has received at least a dozen Venmo payments on Juneteenth spread across four of the past six years, a review of her account shows. The public transactions include notes like “reparations” and “Happy Juneteenth,” though the payment app doesn’t indicate how much she was paid.
The bulk were sent by Hirsi’s white friends in 2020, just weeks after George Floyd’s death and as Black Lives Matter riots rippled across the nation. She received nine payments that Juneteenth and sent two of her own to black friends. She also encouraged her X followers to “donate to descendants of enslaved people today!” Hirsi also received two Juneteenth payments in both 2019 and 2021 and one in 2024.
Hirsi’s mother, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) came to the United States with her family as a Somalian refugee when she was a teenager.
Hirsi’s father, Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi, also came to the US as a Somalian refugee.
