This Didn’t Make Her Bio Page: Democrat Ilhan Omar Was Arrested in 2013 for Trespassing
For some reason this did not make her bio page.
Democrat lawmaker Ilhan Omar was arrested in 2013 for trespassing.
The lawmaker refused orders to leave a hotel in Minneapolis after a visit to the city by former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.
Omar defied police and sneaked back into the hotel where the president was staying. She then refused to leave the hotel after she was repeatedly told to leave by the police.
Not surprisingly, she was as arrogant and rude then as she is today.
Via Alpha News in October 2018:
State Rep. Ilhan Omar was arrested in 2013 for trespassing and booked at Hennepin County Jail “to prevent further criminal conduct,” according to a newly uncovered police report.
The incident took place on January 18, 2013 following an event at the Minneapolis Convention Center featuring former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. The Somali president was set to stay the night at the Hotel Ivy, causing large groups of Somalis to follow the presidential convoy to the hotel, including Omar.
According to the police report, hotel staff requested police assistance in clearing the lobby, saying that anyone without a hotel room key was not welcome on the premises and needed to leave immediately. The officer handling the incident said the majority of people who were asked to leave were compliant. However, Omar, when approached, was “argumentative” and refused to leave.
“As she stood her ground and refused to leave I took hold of her left elbow to escort her from the lobby. Omar then pulled away from me stating, ‘Don’t put your hands on me!’ Others in her group complied and began walking toward the front entry/exit door as I ordered and I managed to coax Omar out with them,” the police report reads.
Ten minutes after the original encounter, the officer reports finding Omar seated in a different area of the lobby. According to the officer’s account, Omar “remained defiant” as he informed her that she would be arrested for trespassing if she didn’t leave.
Since she refused to comply with orders, the officer arrested Omar. The officer reached for Omar’s left arm to get her to stand so she could be handcuffed, but she pulled away. The officer handcuffed her while she stayed seated in the hotel lobby chair.
Alpha News included a copy of the police report including this description of the arrest.
