Omar Visits Karmel Mall After Raid
The day after federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home, Fox News Digital toured Karmel Mall in Minneapolis, the largest Somali mall worldwide. The mall serves as a community hub for Somali immigrants, offering clothing, food, and services. A female shop owner highlighted the many women entrepreneurs who run the stores. Basim Sabri, the mall’s owner and a Gaza‑born immigrant, guided the tour; he owns the mall and several apartment complexes that house Somalis. English is a second language in the mall, where vendors sell SIM cards, money exchanges, and traditional Somali fashion. The food court features a Somali flag on the ceiling, and the space is used for press conferences.
