Minnesota Democrats Blocked Auditors from Tackling ‘Avalanche’ of Somali Fraud, Blacklisted Whistleblowers
Breitbart ^ | January 7, 2026 | Neil Munro

The Somali-dominated Democratic political machine in Minnesota successfully silenced hundreds of government experts who tracked the huge flow of taxpayer funds through Somali-run businesses, a top Minnesota Republican told a House hearing on Wednesday.

Up to 1,000 government auditors, accountants, and program managers were silenced by Democratic threats, Minnesota House Rep. Marion Rarick told a House hearing:

The most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause so they couldn’t have unemployment insurance, that they would be blacklisted from all state agencies… [including] Hennepin County, Ramsey County. As you know, those are Democrat-run.

Many government experts, non-government professionals, and Republicans detected many of the frauds, but their voices were muffled by Democrats who allied with the Somalians’ political machine in the state. “They don’t want a fraud unit to do anything — they want a fraud unit [only] on paper,” Steve Halicki, a Minnesota fraud investigator, told a TV station in 2015.

In 2023, state employees formed an anonymous group on Twitter to report the fraud to the public: “We are over 480 Minnesota state staff serving with pride & commitment to our people & state. We strive for a better Minnesota free of fraud. Commentary Account,” they wrote.

On January 7, the group declared:

We’ve been yelling from every rooftop possible about fraud. Few understood or listened to the scale of the problem. Systemic issues mean that someone in leadership is advising or forcing staff to commit wrongdoing. And these leaders will be NAMED.

Journalists’ clout in Minneapolis has also been shattered by the political and economic power of the Somali migrants. The result is that local politicians and cops were able to ignore multiple articles and TV segments about blatant fraud by many Somali businesses.

If the state of Minnesota wants to be lawless, they don’t need help from the US taxpayer.

And, if we consider the hit man a credible source, Klobuchar was next.

Time for a federal RICO prosecution.

The political and economic power of the Somali migrants’ thievery was grossly enabled. Local politicians and l/e were apparently coerced to ignore blatant fraud by Somali individuals and businesses. This should have been stopped.

Listening to John Solomon yesterday, he reported that carriers were literally carrying CASH out of the country in suitcases, to the tune of hundreds of thousands, at times over $1M+, going through JFK to Europe, Somalia, Middle East and other parts, with TSA turning blind eyes. Seriously major, big-time fraud and theft going on across the country.

Minnesota Democrats Blocked Auditors

Every democrat is a member that crew without illegal fund scams they can’t exist.

There is no logical reason in a civilized society to have such a party to be allowed to exist.

Communism at it peak

The ‘autism’ and ‘childcare’ centers would have been paid by check or electronic means.

How did that get converted to cash at such a scale?

Some parents might pay by cash, but they would be outraged if they found out they were paying cash and other parents were paid cash.

When I was born the federal government didn’t have food stamps, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, childcare programs, etc.

It did fund public housing and hospital construction.

It is really quite simple.

The Somali aid receivers paid invoices to corporations charging for all sorts of bogus services rendered. The corporations tendering the invoices have no records of any thing. The paper trail evaporates

January 27, Walz and Ellison to testify. If they don’t show, subpoenas will be issued.

Just as an aside, I watched a little of the hearing. Elenor Holmes Norton was on deck and appeared to be “past her prime,” so to speak kindly. She’s 88 and still spewing every tired lefty meme out there.
