Who’s Targeting Ilhan Omar’s Critics? Report Details Alleged Threats and Fear of Violence

A New York Post report says some members of Minnesota’s Somali community fear speaking publicly about Ilhan Omar, citing alleged online threats and fears of physical violence. The report describes a fiercely protective group whose actions are said to span the US, Europe and Africa. It says the group is not officially connected to Omar, does not receive instructions from her, and that it is unclear whether she knows of its alleged actions. The claims have not been independently verified.
