We’ll always stand with our Somali neighbors when shameless politicians like Donald Trump try to use them for their political purposes.”

Progressive Democrat Zack Stephenson attacked President Donald Trump for even suggesting that “temporary protected status (TPS)” for fraud-ridden, thieving Minn Somalians should be ended.

“..... Trump tries to change the subject by pitting Minnesotans against one another. Scapegoating our Somali neighbors. Minnesotans know that the “Somali (gag) community” is part of the fabric of our state. We’ll always stand with our Somali neighbors (even though Somalis are stealing from Minn taxpayers 24/7).......”

Don't worry, Somali fraudsters.

We've got liberal white women judges tossing out these guilty verdicts as fast as they can. You'll be back at it in no time.

Hennepin County Judge tosses out jury's guilty verdict in $7.2 million home healthcare fraud case

These white women are going to be the ruin of us all.

Hey. Trump is driving up the cost of fraud.
Somalians have a right to fraud and MN judges have upheld that principle.
You know Omar gets a cut here too.

Here is an equation I can get behind. Judge acquittal over jury vote = tree plus rope.

Minnesota Somali Abdifatah Yusuf was found guilty in August 2025 of bilking the Medicaid program out of over $7.2 million through his personal care assistant (PCA) agency, Promise Health Services, LLC.

Reports also suggest that some of the money stolen through various welfare fraud schemes in Minnesota may have been routed to the terror group al-Shabaab in Somalia.

In November 2025, a Hennepin County judge controversially overturned the jury’s guilty verdict against Yusuf, citing insufficient direct evidence that he knew fraud was occurring. The Minnesota Attorney General’s office has appealed this ruling.

Details of the case and wider fraud
The Scheme: Abdifatah Yusuf’s agency, Promise Health Services, LLC, claimed to provide millions in Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) to Medicaid recipients but lacked a physical office and operated out of a mailbox for years.
Jury Verdict: In August 2025, a jury found Yusuf guilty of six counts of aiding and abetting theft by swindle (over $35,000) and found aggravating factors to support an enhanced sentence.

Judge’s Decision: In November 2025, Hennepin County Judge Sarah West dismissed the jury’s verdict against Yusuf, arguing there was not enough direct evidence linking him to the fraudulent activity within his company.


Terrorist Funding Allegations: According to reports, former federal counter-terrorism officials believe some stolen funds were sent to Somalia via informal transfer networks known as hawalas. They allege that al-Shabaab routinely takes a share of these funds.


Wider Context: Federal prosecutors in Minnesota are investigating widespread welfare fraud in the Somali community, including other fraud cases involving housing stabilization and pandemic child nutrition programs. Sources suggest Minnesota taxpayers could be one of the largest funders of al-Shabaab due to these schemes.

Political Reaction: Minnesota GOP lawmakers have pushed for a federal fraud investigation and alleged a terrorist link. Critics claim Minnesota leaders have been slow to address the issue, fearing backlash from the state’s Somali-American voting block.


Other Related Cases: The Yusuf case is one of several recent fraud cases. In August 2023, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office charged five people with $9.5 million in Medicaid fraud involving a PCA company called MN Professional.

By the Democrats definition Somalis make great citizens. They’re not worried about little things like the US constitution, laws, morality, etc. They are dependent on government. They WANT to be dependent on government. They have no work ethic. They have no interest in assimilating into the American culture, quite to the contrary they want to force their third world garbage culture on as many US citizens as they can. Their view of culture overlaps with what the Democrats want for the USA. In short, there’re perfect democrats citizens.

Damn Somalis aren't just in Minnesota. They're here in northern Colorado, working at the meat packing plant.

And their kids are forming gangs, and taking on the Mexican gangs that have been here for a while.

Except for the occasional domestic call, ALL violent crime here is gang related.
