White House officials blasted Somali refugees in Minnesota for pulling off the “single greatest theft of taxpayer dollars through welfare fraud in American history,” with at least 86 suspects – mostly from tight-knit Somali enclaves – looting over $1 billion from child feeding, homeless aid, and autism therapy programs.
Federal prosecutors have unveiled a staggering fraud operation involving sham companies in Minnesota that allegedly siphoned millions from state funds meant for social services. The fraudulent activities, organized into three extensive fraud rings, reportedly funneled away a colossal sum intended to aid vulnerable Americans. Meanwhile, critics argue that the administration of Governor Tim Walz, a Democrat, turned a blind eye to the unfolding scandal.
Stephen Miller, Homeland Security Advisor, has voiced grave concerns, suggesting that the state government may have been complicit in the scheme. He speculated that the eventual revelations could astonish the public, predicting the total amount misappropriated might exceed the currently estimated $1 billion. Miller emphasized that a substantial portion of Minnesota’s Somali community relies on welfare, hinting at a broader issue affecting taxpayers. Investigators are now exploring potential links between the embezzled funds and the Somalia-based terrorist group, Al-Shabaab. Miller remarked, “We’ve only begun to uncover the extent of this complex fraud.”
Ilhan Omar, Tim Walz Photographed with Convicted Fraudster
This scandal reaches into the higher echelons of Minnesota’s Democratic leadership. Representative Ilhan Omar and Governor Tim Walz have been photographed alongside Abdul Dahir Ibrahim, a Somali national apprehended by ICE after evading deportation for years. Ibrahim, with a history of asylum and welfare fraud convictions in Canada, allegedly misrepresented his family ties on U.S. immigration applications. Despite being ordered for removal in 2004, he managed to obtain Temporary Protected Status, continuing his stay in the U.S. while accumulating minor legal infractions, all while maintaining connections with Walz and Omar.

Omar’s connections to the alleged fraud extend further. Her 2018 election celebration was held at Safari Restaurant, owned by Salim Ahmed Said, who prosecutors accuse of embezzling $5 million as part of a larger $16 million scheme involving nonexistent meals for children. Said reportedly used the ill-gotten gains to acquire a luxury mansion and fund extravagant shopping sprees.
Additionally, Omar’s former staffer, Guhaad Hashi Said, admitted to orchestrating a scam involving the fabrication of 5,000 daily meals at a fictitious site, reaping millions in the process. During Omar’s 2018-2020 campaign, Said was instrumental in bolstering Somali voter turnout. Omar herself initially accepted $7,400 from convicted fraudsters, only returning the funds after backing the 2020 MEALS Act, which inadvertently facilitated the notorious $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.

Walz Excuses ‘Generosity’ as State Feared ‘Racism’ Lawsuits
Walz shrugs off the billion-dollar bleed, claiming his crew “erred on the side of generosity” to shove pandemic cash out fast. “The programs are set up to move the money to people,” he whined, now touting a fraud task force and AI audits – after the horse bolted. Critics nail it: state educrats drowned in bogus apps from minority outfits like Feeding Our Future, which threatened racism lawsuits if approvals slowed. Officials caved despite red flags like invoices for tens of thousands of ghost meals, terrified of alienating the Somali voting bloc Omar mobilizes.
This isn’t charity gone wrong – it’s a Democrat-engineered grift where open borders, welfare magnets, and political cowardice let Somalis ransack American taxpayers for a billion bucks, possibly bankrolling jihadists. With 59 convictions already and probes expanding, Walz’s “sanctuary” paradise is crumbling – but not before bleeding the heartland dry.
