Somali Fraud Discovered in Maine [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 25 January 2026 | John Semmens

A reporter from NewsNation went to Maine and discovered that the favored Somali scam in that state is federally subsidized healthcare. "In one building I visited there were ten Somali healthcare offices," the reporter said. "However, no one recalls ever seeing any patients there. The landlord says 'the only time I see anybody is when they pay the monthly rent. When I asked one of them how's business, he said there's more than one teat on the federal subsidy camel.'" This report inspired ICE to schedule an enforcement raid.

Gov. Janet Mills (D) called the raid "unwelcome. I have advised our immigrants to shelter in place until the ICE presence has abated. There's no need for anyone to venture out where they can easily be apprehended by federal officers. We have also enacted legislation aimed at deterring federal law enforcement activities in our state. We have paused the issuing of undercover license plates to federal officers. This will make it easier for protesters to identify the vehicles they want to block or vandalize and make it harder for ICE to accomplish their their mission to arrest and deport people who they say are the worst of the worst illegal immigrants."

Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said "the Governor's stance is not in the best interest of her state's citizens. Fraud robs every taxpayer. Funds that were budgeted to help those in need have been diverted to scammers. Crime rates for illegal immigrants are higher than for citizens or legal immigrants. Having ICE assist by removing these foreign criminals benefits all law-abiding individuals. President Trump has called for an accounting of the federal funds being distributed to the states in order to guard against these funds being wasted or stolen. It makes no sense for states to oppose this. Yet, a number of states are suing to try to evade accounting for how they spend this federal aid."

In related news, State Del. Jessica Anderson (D-Va) has introduced a bill that would prohibit state employees from verifying a nonprofit's eligibility to provide and receive federal taxpayer benefits. She explained that "receiving federal money is a state's unalienable right. We should be free to spend it however we choose and not be boxed in by any federal strings attached. Nonprofits should not be insulted by any prying into how they use the money we award to them. They're charitable organizations for God's sake. If we can't trust them who can we trust?"

Half of the American public supports fraud. These morons are for whatever the media tells them they’re for, until the repercussions bite them in the behind.

The money quote:

“In one building I visited there were 100 Somali healthcare offices billing Medicare 24/7.....a million tax dollars per day. However, no one recalls ever seeing any patients there.

The landlord says ‘the only time I see anybody is when they pay the monthly rent. When I asked
one of them how’s business, he said ‘there’s more than one teat on the federal subsidy camel.’”

This report inspired ICE to schedule an enforcement raid.
