A Pharmacy Partner That No Longer Exists
People’s Center maintained a contract pharmacy through HHS’s 340B Drug Pricing Program with Degdeg’s Carepoint Pharmacy. However, the pharmacy lost its license in 2017 and is listed as permanently closed on Google Maps. Notably, Noor signed the contract agreement herself in 2015.
Despite this, no explanation has been offered by either the clinic or Omar’s office for why a federal contract remains active with a shuttered, unlicensed pharmacy.
Sister Leaves Amid Rising Questions
As reporters began investigating Omar’s family ties — including allegations she might have married her own brother for immigration purposes — Noor relocated to Kenya. There, she launched a consultancy, Grit Partners, claiming to oversee USAID-funded projects.
Noor’s husband, Mohamed Keynan, followed a similar path. Previously, he held positions at the Minnesota Department of Human Services, worked as a city planning commissioner in Roseville, and managed contracts for Hennepin County before becoming chief of staff to Somalia’s Prime Minister and a policy advisor to Somalia’s President.
In 2020, Noor co-founded a telehealth startup, Hello! Caafi, aimed at connecting Somalis to healthcare workers who speak their language. However, the website has since disappeared, and there’s no evidence of where the calls were routed or what services were actually delivered.
The Website Code That Contradicts Omar’s Sworn Testimony
In 2017, Omar swore in court that she hadn’t seen her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, since 2011 and could not locate him — the basis for her divorce filing. Investigative journalist David Steinberg later found that Elmi’s Instagram account was logged into Noor’s Grit Partners website while it was being built, contradicting Omar’s sworn statements.
If Omar couldn’t find her “lost” ex, why was he actively helping her sister’s business in Kenya? Alpha News highlighted that the connection calls her testimony into question, and Judicial Watch filed a complaint alleging possible immigration fraud, marriage fraud, perjury, and federal tax violations.
A Pattern of Questionable Earmarks
The scrutiny doesn’t stop there. In January 2026, Sen. Joni Ernst successfully had another Omar earmark removed from a federal spending bill: $1 million for a “substance abuse clinic” run by three people at a shared home address, including one whose brother had been arrested in 2015 for attempting to join ISIS. Ernst and Sen. Mike Lee referred the matter to the Justice Department.
Now, the new investigation suggests the clinic-and-family money network extends further than previously known, raising serious questions about Omar’s sworn claims and access to her supposed “lost” ex-husband.
A Serious Question for Justice
If Omar lied on her 2017 divorce filing, it constitutes perjury in Minnesota state court. While the website code doesn’t prove Elmi is her brother, it does show she had contact with him. With nine years of federal money directed to a clinic overseen by her sister, the ethical and legal implications demand scrutiny. Pam Bondi’s Justice Department is already probing Somali community-related Minnesota fraud — now the question is whether Omar’s connections will be included.
