   Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign recently dropped tens of thousands of   
   dollars on private security services following her calls to   
   defund the police and support for a campaign to dismantle the   
   Minneapolis Police Department, federal filings show.   
      
   The Minnesota Democrat’s campaign spent $27,081.14 on “security   
   services” between July and September, almost all of which went   
   to Relative Intel LLC, Federal Election Commission records show.   
   Relative Intel offers protection services, training and   
   consulting.   
      
   “Our leadership has spent over 25 years embedded in the private   
   security industry across the United States and abroad,” Relative   
   Intel’s website states. “We offer quality and precise solutions   
   that meet the specific needs of our clients. In addition to site   
   security and executive protection, we offer high value package   
   transport, private intelligence analysis, and a broad range of   
   training.”   
      
   Omar’s newest payments are the most her campaign has dished out   
   for such services in any quarter. Before the third quarter, her   
   campaign paid roughly $83,000 to private security firms between   
   May 2019 and July this year, according to a review of federal   
   filings.   
      
   The payments also follow Omar’s calls to defund police and her   
   support for a campaign to dismantle and replace the Minneapolis   
   PD. Relative Intel LLC serves the Twin Cities area, including   
   Minneapolis, which has experienced a sharp increase in most   
   crimes over the last year.   
      
   Following George Floyd’s death in May 2020, Minneapolis’s   
   violent crime skyrocketed. Last year, the city fell one murder   
   short of hitting its all-time high of 97 homicides in 1997. And   
   while murders have declined this year, many other crimes are   
   trending in the opposite direction, including soaring motor   
   vehicle thefts, larceny/thefts, carjackings, destruction of   
   property and assaults.   
      
   Omar, meanwhile, first championed the “defund the police”   
   movement shortly after Floyd’s death.   
      
   “The ‘defund the police’ movement, is one of reimagining the   
   current police system to build an entity that does not violate   
   us, while relocating funds to invest in community services,”   
   Omar said just over a week after Floyd’s death. “Let’s be clear,   
   the people who now oppose this, have always opposed calls for   
   systematic change.”   
      
   Omar later supported a campaign targeting the Minneapolis PD as   
   rising crime plagued the city. Last year, far-left activists   
   spearheaded an effort to dismantle the city’s police department   
   and replace it with a “Department of Public Safety.” The   
   activists successfully placed the charter amendment on the   
   November ballot.   
      
   The effort received a flood of outside support from deep-   
   pocketed liberal donors and activist groups. George Soros’   
   advocacy nonprofit, the Open Society Policy Center, supplied   
   $500,000 to the campaign, Fox News Digital reported.   
      
   Other groups – such as MoveOn.org and the American Civil   
   Liberties Union – also combined to add hundreds of thousands in   
   in-kind contributions, including staffing, access to email   
   lists, and other services that come as non-cash contributions.   
      
   Minneapolis voters, however, ultimately rejected the initiative,   
   56% to 44%.   
      
   Omar’s campaign did not respond to a Fox News Digital request   
   for comment on her security payments following her calls to   
   defund the police and dismantle the Minneapolis PD.
