Ilhan Omar Arrested - Refused to Leave and Fought Police
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — April 21, 2026
The radical left’s favorite Somalia-first congresswoman has a long record of lawlessness — and now the American people are seeing it in black and white.
A newly uncovered police report from January 18, 2013, reveals that Ilhan Omar was arrested for trespassing at the Hotel Ivy in Minneapolis after she refused to leave the lobby following an event with former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. According to the Hennepin County Jail booking report, Omar was defiant, argumentative, and physically resisted officers who were simply trying to clear the premises at the hotel staff’s request.
The officer’s account is crystal clear: most people complied and left when asked. But not Ilhan Omar. She “stood her ground,” pulled away when the officer took her elbow to escort her out, and declared, “Don’t put your hands on me!” Even after being warned, she planted herself in a chair in the lobby and refused to move. The officer had no choice but to handcuff her while she remained seated. Omar was booked into jail specifically because the officer believed she would continue her criminal behavior and ignore a citation.
This is the same Ilhan Omar who now lectures America about “human rights,” criticizes ICE raids on criminal illegal aliens, and pushes sanctuary policies that protect lawbreakers while endangering citizens. The hypocrisy is staggering. In 2013, she fought police trying to enforce basic trespassing rules at a hotel. Today, she shields criminal networks in her district while American taxpayers foot the bill for chaos, fraud, and potential terror links.
President Donald Trump has been exposing radicals like Omar for years. Her district has become a hotbed for issues ranging from massive COVID relief fraud (with possible ties to al-Shabaab) to open defiance of federal immigration enforcement. While Omar cries victimhood, ICE is doing the job she refuses to support — removing threats and restoring order.
This 2013 arrest report is not ancient history. It reveals Omar’s consistent pattern: rules for thee, but not for me. She demands open borders and non-cooperation with ICE, yet threw a tantrum when asked to follow simple hotel rules. This is the radical mindset that puts foreign interests and personal defiance above American law and order.
Patriots across the nation are disgusted but not surprised. Ilhan Omar represents everything wrong with the radical left’s grip on certain districts: imported chaos, anti-American rhetoric, and a belief that laws don’t apply to them. Meanwhile, President Trump and his administration are cracking down with real enforcement actions, including recent ICE raids in Minnesota targeting exactly the kind of criminal elements Omar’s policies have protected.
The radical left’s house of cards is collapsing. Every newly uncovered report like this further exposes their hypocrisy and contempt for the rule of law. Americans are waking up. They see the difference between strong Republican leadership that enforces borders and removes threats — and radical Democrats who fight police, shield criminals, and put America last.
MAGA will never apologize for demanding equal application of the law. If Ilhan Omar wants to lecture about “human rights,” she should start by respecting basic rules and supporting officers who keep our communities safe. Her 2013 arrest is a window into her character — and it explains why her district suffers while she thrives politically.
President Trump is restoring law and order nationwide. Radicals like Omar can resist all they want. The American people have had enough, and the reckoning is here.
We are winning. The rule of law is winning. And the radical left’s days of protected lawlessness are coming to an end.
Nearly 150,000 California Mail Ballots Rejected In Primary
California election officials are examining why nearly 150,000 mail-in ballots were rejected during the state’s June primary, with late-arriving ballots accounting for most of the increase.
The higher rejection rate comes despite years of election law changes designed to make voting more accessible and ensure more ballots are ultimately counted.
According to data compiled by the California Secretary of State’s office, 148,241 mail-in ballots were rejected during the June primary, representing 1.73% of all mail ballots returned.
That marks an increase from the 2024 primary, when 108,982 ballots were rejected, or 1.56% of all mail ballots cast.
The largest reason for rejection was ballots arriving too late to qualify under California law.
State data shows that 93,479 ballots were rejected because they failed to meet the state’s deadline requirements.
California allows mail ballots to arrive up to seven days after Election Day, provided they are postmarked on or before Election Day.
Voting experts believe many of the rejected ballots received postmarks dated after Election Day, making them ineligible to be counted even if they arrived within the seven-day grace period.
Kim Alexander, president of the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation, said the timing of postal processing appears to be a significant concern.
“Ballots rejected due to lateness are caused primarily to being postmarked too late to count, not because they arrived too late to count,” Alexander said.
Election experts have questioned whether recent operational changes within the U.S. Postal Service may be contributing to delayed postmarks.
Earlier this year, a group of mostly Democratic U.S. senators wrote to the Postal Service expressing concern that mail-processing changes could affect ballot handling during federal elections.
Updated Postal Service procedures mean postmarks may reflect when mail is processed at regional facilities rather than when it first enters the mail system.
Because processing centers have been consolidated in some areas, election officials have warned that postmark timing could be affected.
Before the June primary, California election officials encouraged voters to mail ballots as early as possible because of potential postal delays.
The June election also featured a highly competitive race for governor, which some experts believe encouraged many voters to wait until the final days before casting ballots.
In addition to late-arriving ballots, approximately 44,000 ballots were rejected because election officials determined the voter’s signature did not match the signature on file.
Another 8,300 ballots were rejected because the return envelope did not contain a signature.
State records also show that 743 ballots were rejected because those voters had already cast another ballot.
Other rejected ballots involved missing ballots inside return envelopes or multiple ballots submitted in a single envelope.
The highest rejection rate in the state occurred in Tulare County, where 3.52% of returned mail ballots were rejected.
Alpine County and Merced County followed closely, each recording rejection rates of 3.36%.
California has frequently faced criticism for taking weeks to complete vote counting after major elections, largely because state law permits ballots meeting certain requirements to continue arriving after Election Day.
Following the June primary, President Donald Trump again criticized California’s election system, while the Department of Justice opened an investigation into election administration in Los Angeles County.
Election experts emphasize that the increase in rejected ballots should not be interpreted as evidence of widespread voter fraud.
A 2025 report by the Brookings Institution found documented cases of mail ballot fraud remained extremely rare, estimating roughly four cases for every 10 million mail ballots cast, The Associated Press reported.
State officials have not identified evidence of widespread fraud connected to the June primary, but the increase in rejected ballots is expected to receive additional scrutiny as election administrators evaluate whether changes in postal operations, voter behavior or election procedures contributed to the higher rejection rate.
