I have worked with and know in detail various 3rd world migrant groups
One thing is absolutely certain - Because they are minority and have a foot in both the USA and their home countries, they know VERY well, all the scams, advantages, dangers, behaviors, programs, etc... their group are participating in. For them, its a survival network.
Somalis practice quintessential of 3rd world in-group behavior with their very tight clans, strong self-segregation, internal support and control networks extending back to the homeland etc...
It’s also normal for a “leader” (especially someone as politically aggressive as Ilhan Omar) to be a controller, distributor and channel for favors.
Therefore, it’s absolutely certain she was involved and managing Somali grift in Minneapolis.
On the other hand, she’s smart enough to have known she needs to cover her tracks and play the political/media game among naive and stupid white people of Minneapolis, so proving her involvement will be difficult. Somalis will circle the wagons.
, so proving her involvement will be difficult. Somalis will circle the wagons.
It will be very interesting to see what happens to her should they find evidence she was involved. And if she goes on trial, where would it be held? In the Somali community?
