(DC Pundit) – A Minnesota man who recently pleaded guilty to attempting to join ISIS has now been revealed to have donated to none other than Rep. Ilhan Omar’s political campaign. Yes, the same Ilhan Omar who never misses an opportunity to accuse America of being the problem. You can’t make this stuff up.
According to federal prosecutors, 23-year-old Abdisatar Ahmed Hassan, of Minnesota, pleaded guilty on October 1, 2025, to one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization. Hassan wasn’t just a casual sympathizer. He actively praised terrorist attacks, spread ISIS propaganda online, and made two separate attempts to travel overseas to fight for the group.
Court filings reveal that Hassan’s social media accounts were a shrine to jihad, plastered with black ISIS flags and messages glorifying mass-casualty attacks — including the January 1, 2025, New Orleans attack that killed 14 people. He reportedly hailed the terrorist behind that attack as “the legend that killed Americans.” That tells you everything you need to know about the kind of person we’re dealing with here.
In December 2024, Hassan made two attempts to leave the U.S. for Somalia to join ISIS fighters. The first failed because he didn’t have the proper travel documents — terrorists, it seems, have to play by TSA rules too. On his second try, Customs and Border Protection agents stopped him in Chicago, finding his naturalization papers, diploma, and electronic devices packed with ISIS propaganda, recruitment messages, and bomb-making manuals. These included step-by-step PDFs on building explosives like C-4, urea nitrate, and HMTD.

The FBI also uncovered messages between Hassan and an ISIS recruiter he affectionately referred to as “uncle” and “commander.” In one message, he wrote, “I will become ISIS straight away.” In case that wasn’t enough, he even filmed himself driving around Minnesota waving a homemade ISIS flag with a knife sitting on his lap — not exactly the kind of “Minnesota nice” the state is famous for.
Hassan openly admitted to agents that he was a full-blown ISIS supporter, consumed the group’s propaganda daily, and believed in creating an Islamic caliphate. He’s now awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty before U.S. District Judge Donovan W. Frank, facing up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Here’s where things get even more disturbing: Federal Election Commission records confirm that this same Hassan donated to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign committee.
Omar, a founding member of the far-left “Squad,” has long drawn criticism for her rhetoric surrounding terrorism and her questionable associations. While no one is suggesting she knew who Hassan was, the fact that an ISIS sympathizer’s money ended up supporting her campaign should raise alarm bells.
The Justice Department has been warning for months about a rise in homegrown terrorism and online radicalization. Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said it plainly: “There is no margin for error when it comes to terrorism. Hassan flew the ISIS flag, perpetrated attacks on the homeland, and wanted to kill Americans. We are not taking chances.”
Yet, this case exposes something beyond terrorism — it highlights just how easily extremist sympathizers can weave themselves into the American political fabric, even contributing to the campaigns of sitting members of Congress. For a country that prides itself on vigilance, that’s not just troubling, it’s dangerous.
