Ilhan Omar’s Daughter Promotes Fundraiser for Detained Pro-Hamas Activist Mahmoud Khalil

Isra Hirsi, daughter of Minnesota “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar, promoted a fundraiser for Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University graduate who was arrested and now faces deportation over his role in violent campus activities.
The fundraiser, launched after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained Khalil, has so far surpassed $360,000, exceeding its initial $250,000 goal.
Organizers have since raised the target to $500,000, stating that the funds will support Khalil’s legal defense, provide financial aid to his family, and contribute to “long-term justice efforts” to hold authorities “accountable” for his detention.
“Before his detention, he was targeted by a coordinated smear campaign, with individuals falsely framing his activism as criminal behavior,” the campaign states.
Hirsi, a Barnard College senior and far-left activist, shared the fundraiser on her Instagram, urging her followers to contribute. She later criticized Columbia faculty for staying silent on Khalil’s arrest, calling their response “shameful behavior.”
