Seattle and King County officials have stopped several migrants with suitcases full of American dollars leaving the United States.
All of the suspects carrying the suitcases full of cash were on welfare. KING5 reported:
“ Travelers pulling suitcases full of cash started showing up at Sea-Tac Airport last year holding tickets for flights headed out of the United States.
The people carrying the cash didn’t hide the fact from Customs. Just the opposite, they reported it. Anyone traveling out of the United States is required to declare any amount over $10,000 and fill out a one-page federal form.
These reports are what caught the attention of terrorism investigators in Seattle…
…Seattle and King County are home to tens of thousands of immigrants and refugees from East Africa, many of whom use the hawalas to send much-needed money back to loved ones in their homelands. Given the presence of active terrorist organizations in Somalia, investigators worry that some of the money ...
Kerns said the first cash shipment rolled through Sea-Tac early last year. A man carrying $750,000 in cash told Customs officials he was transporting the money overseas. Over the next several months, couriers carrying as much as $2 million boarded commercial flights at Sea-Tac.
He researched the names of the ten clients who transferred the most money through hawalas last year.
“All ten of them were on welfare benefits. DSHS benefits,” said Kerns. “It’s fraud. Straight up fraud – every one of them.”
Kerns said he, along with an agent from a federal agency he would not disclose, took their case to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle.
“They don’t want to touch it,” said Kerns. “My opinion – I believe it’s because it will look like they’re targeting a certain population.”

Seattle Officers Stop Several East African Migrants with Suitcases of Cash Leaving US – And They’re ALL ON WELFARE
I haven’t read the article yet, but was anyone stopped, arrested and money returned to its rightful owners ?
+1 Trump
Our PC politicians won’t stop this.
No they don’t want to investigate.
“I haven’t read the article yet, but was anyone stopped, arrested and money returned to its rightful owners ?”
Silly, that would be racist.
More fruits a massive nanny state funded by a printed-unbacked currency and massive debt courtesy of the Federal Reserve.
The Free Sh*T Army on the march.
These are just the ones that got caught. How many millions more are there and how long has this been going on? Put a stop to it now!
Tax dollars funneled through welfare schemes to fund terrorists in Africa.
We have lost our minds. This should be Exhibit A on the ‘why you don’t give free stuff to foreigners’ list.
millions of dollars a day are transferred out of the country via western union. They can’t get it to a bank in Kenya? If they’re that stupid, then the crime must not be that hard.
I wonder how much is stolen money is going back to Mexico? Probably Billions. No wonder Fox and others can’t stand Trump. The money going back isn’t from illegal work, it’s stolen from the US Government (i.e. taxpayers.)
Fire every ONE of them and hire NOTHING but returning vets ! ! !
Yet if a citizen is traveling down a road and is stopped for whatever reason and has cash, the cash will be confiscated until the citizen can prove they got it through legal means. They rarely get it back even if no charges are filed against them.
Yes!!!
“” it will look like they’re targeting a certain population.””
Yes it would. The criminal population.
‘“All ten of them were on welfare benefits. DSHS benefits,” said Kerns. “It’s fraud. Straight up fraud – every one of them.”’
LOL, really??!
Dey guts it frum Obamma’s stash....
If they had been white Americans, the cash would have been seized and never returned.
Son of a social worker here. Welfare is entirely corrupt. It should be reduced by 10% each year until gone.
>I haven’t read the article yet, but was anyone stopped, arrested and money returned to its rightful owners ?
Rightful owners? As if GOVT worries about anyone’s pesky 4th, 5th, 13th Amendment Rights anyway.
The piggy-bank/slaves, known as taxpayers, will never be free again.
