Minnesota’s Somalians Make the National News in a Bad Way

Most Americans would like to think that when America takes in immigrants from crap hole countries, like Somalia, that they would be so grateful that they would become Americans, do away with their crap hole culture, keep their noses clean and work hard to find the American dream.

But now that MN has allowed hundreds of thousands of Muslim Somalian refugees into the state, they are making a mess and robbing us blind.  Trump says to send them all home.

It’s a mess for sure and Democrats and their false belief that “people are basically good” is what fueled the fire of this massive scam.

(Just the News) — Federal prosecutors have uncovered multiple fraud schemes involving Somali immigrants in Minnesota that have siphoned billions in taxpayer money from food, welfare and autism safety net programs and even routed some to overseas terrorists.

The scandal uncovered by Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson in Minneapolis has handed Republicans a political cudgel heading into the 2026 election to bash liberals like Gov. Tim Walz for creating a welfare state with little or no safeguards and now countless victims of fraud.

The dragnet has already resulted in 77 indictments for fraud against a food welfare program under a nonprofit called Feeding Our Future as well as a medical professional who prosecutors alleged falsely diagnosed Somali children to steal $14 million from a federal autism assistance program.

“These are things that, if well used, this is a good way to help our families and our friends, kind of with that hand up to continue to climb the American Dream ladder, but it was completely squandered, completely mismanagement, the Democrats, you know, were a complete failure,” Rep. Brad Finstad, R-Minn., told Just the News this week.

“And quite frankly, you almost wonder if they’re just compliant in this, and they knew what was going on. How do they sit back with a blind eye to this is beyond negligence, it is criminal,” he added.

Federal authorities say the fraud across multiple programs in Minnesota alone now totals in the billions of dollars and continues to grow. And last week officials told City Journal that some of the money siphoned away by Somali immigrants made its way to Somalia to the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

“You look at the money, you look at the people that have been arrested and put in jail, and we’re tracking this money back to Kenya, to Somalia, and quite frankly, it could be Al-Shabaab,” Finstad said.

The scale of fraud inside the Somali community in Minnesota is so large that it is now commanding attention by national figures, including House Speaker Mike Johnson.

“Millions in stolen Minnesota welfare dollars have been funneled to Al-Shabaab — an ISIS-aligned TERROR group?” Johnson wrote on X this weekend. “This happened because Democrats built a system so loose, so corrupt, and so politically timid that fraudsters exploited it.”

President Donald Trump also weighed in on Saturday, revoking a special temporary protective status for Somalis in Minnesota and decrying the level of fraud the community has caused in Minnesota.

“Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota,” he announced on Truth Social.

“Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!” he added.

On Thursday, the 77th defendant in the food welfare program scheme was indicted, and his case gives a sense of how systemic and organize the fraud schemes have been.

Federal prosecutors said Ousman Camara, 45, was indicted on nine charges alleging fraud, federal programs bribery, and money laundering.

Camara was the owner of K’s Dollar Grocery and Deli, a small storefront grocery store in north Minneapolis. In August 2015, the Agriculture Department disqualified Camara and his store from food stamps due to suspected fraud.

In September 2020, prosecutors alleged, Camara enrolled K’s Grocery in the Federal Child Nutrition Program under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future. In 2020 and 2021, Camara fraudulently claimed to be serving meals to 1,000 children a day, seven days a week, at his site when he wasn’t.

In all, Camara claimed to have served more than 300,000 meals to children, for which he claimed to be entitled to more than $1 million in Federal Child Nutrition Program reimbursement, authorities said.

Camara did not use these funds to purchase food to feed children. Instead, he used the money to fund his lifestyle, pay his credit card bills, and buy a building in north Minneapolis and also sent some of that money overseas, prosecutors alleged.

Republicans across the country are signaling they intend to use the fraud in Minnesota to run against the far left’s open borders, welfare-driven policies.

“This story is a perfect storm of progressive governance: non-existent immigration vetting, massive welfare and benefits fraud, and American tax dollars going to people who want us dead,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said.
