A new investigation has spotlighted an alarming flow of taxpayer dollars to a Minnesota health clinic tied to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar — a facility once led by her own sister.

Omar’s older sister, Sahra Noor, was the CEO of People’s Center Clinics & Services in Minneapolis from July 2014 through April 2018. The nonprofit, located in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, has received more than $33 million in federal HHS grants since 2002.
In January 2017, Omar assumed office in the Minnesota House of Representatives. That same year, the state budget included $2.2 million for People’s Center. Omar later boasted about her role in securing the funds and even celebrated the clinic’s 2022 renovations alongside Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and other Minnesota Democrats.
