Officials in Maine have suspended state Medicaid payments to a Somali-run charity after more than a million dollars in possible fraud was discovered in several audits of the charity’s services.
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has cancelled MaineCare payments to Gateway Community Services after the audits found that the charity over billed the state for $1,068,598 from March 2021 through December 2022. The cash was supposedly to cover the costs of “interpreting services” to Somali migrants, the Bangor Daily News reported.
This same organization has been under investigation before. Gateway reportedly overbilled for more than $600,000 between 2015 and 2018, and is still under a cloud of suspicion for other violations found during a third state audit completed in 2024.
The suspension of funding comes on the tail of the red flags thrown up about the charity by U.S. Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the top Republican on the House oversight committee, who warned the U.S. Treasury of welfare fraud being committed by Gateway.
Gateway was founded in 2015 by Somali migrant Abdullahi Ali who became the subject of scrutiny for launching a 2024 bid to run for president of Jubaland, an autonomous region in the southern part of Somalia, at the same time his Gateway Services charity was defrauding the state of a million in improperly billed services.
Gateway was not only staffed and run by Somali migrants, though. The agency also has connections to a number of prominent Democrats in Maine, including Democrat State Senator Chloe Maxmin, and Democrat strategists Joanne D’Arcangelo and B.J. McCollister, the latter of whom served in the Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign for the White House and a chief of staff to Maine Democrat Senate President Troy Jackson.

I guess some Somalians actually have an IQ. At least a criminal IQ.
One of their main national industries is piracy, so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised when they branch out into stealing money from stupid governments.
waste-FRAUD-abuse brought to us by The Democrat Crime Syndicate.
America can't afford Somalians.
Stealing money from governments that imported them and want their vote. The whole arrangement sure lacks wisdom, but it's not "irrational." What it is is corrupt.
Correct.
Walz should be imprisoned for his lack of action in MN.
It’s Maine so they’ll come up with a way to double the fraud supporting the Somalis.
Maine’s governing officials shouldn’t have let it get that far. Hoping they are wiser from here on out.

OK, there’s a decent answer to the question. I’ve been asking myself about why these people are so successful here when they can’t maintain civil order in their own country. Intelligence and ambition without a sense of right and wrong is a recipe for societal disaster.

Yes parasites don’t care what they feed off of.
Paging Pam Bondi.
Somalia has raised the world’s most notorious pirates for GENERATIONS. They have a LONG, historic culture of world-class thieves.
Why is anyone surprised Minnesota has become a MASSIVE SOMALI PIRATE ENCAMPMENT? The state has welcomed tens of thousands of Somali pirates with OPEN ARMS?
Why should Somali pirates risk their lives hijacking cargo ships?
Somali people can live safely in Minnesota and steal American taxpayers blind - WITHOUT FEAR ! !
‘Suspends’ being the operative word rather than termination.
