“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s name appears at least six times in recently resurfaced court documents from the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud case, fueling speculation about whether the Minnesota socialist had a hand in the widespread scam in her district.
The documents were part of the 2025 federal trial of Aimee Bock, the founder of the Feeding our Future nonprofit who was convicted of wire fraud, conspiracy, and bribery for masterminding the scheme that falsely claimed to serve millions of meals to children while pocketing federal funds through bogus food sites and shell companies. Bock is in custody awaiting a sentencing hearing on May 21.
Omar came up in a Feb. 5, 2021 email chain with Bock, with the subject line “help with USDA food program,” the trial exhibits show.
The Congresswoman’s MEALS act loosened oversight of federally funded food programs during the pandemic, which critics said paved the way for the Feeding Our Future’s fake claims and inflated reimbursements.
A few days after Bock’s email to Omar, on Feb. 28, Bock exchanged messages with Abdikerm Eidleh, a Feeding Our Future employee who fled the country after he was indicted in 2022. The subject line of their emails was “Ilhan’s Office,” according to the court documents.
While the list of exhibits is public, the contents have been sealed by the court.
The exhibits also include a text message string between Bock and Omar, which was uncovered during a raid of Bock’s Minnesota house, records show.
Bock has been leaking documents from behind bars through her college-age son ahead of her sentencing to try to shift some of the blame to elected officials, Minnesota federal prosecutors have alleged.
It’s unclear if those leaked documents were related to Omar. (Read more: The New York Post, 5/2/2026) (Archive)
Reminder about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s ties to the “Feeding Our Future” fraud scandal, whereby her constituents (and in some cases donors) “delivered” GHOST MEALS by the millions to non-existent children for $250 million in taxpayer dollars — under guise of a program created to feed students missing school lunches because Dems shut the world down over COVID:
• Omar introduced the bill that enabled the fraud
• Omar filmed a commercial touting the program at the restaurant that was ground zero for the fraud — a restaurant she had hosted political events at going back years
• Omar received nearly $14 thousand in campaign contributions from fraudsters or those associated with them
• Omar’s office apparently had contacts with lead fraudster Aimee Bock, among other evidence the government compiled tying her office to the fraud in its prosecutions
