Somali Looting Spree Not Limited to Minnesota
Moonbattery ^ | December 30, 2025 | Dave Blount

Somali grifters have looted taxpayers for as much as $9 billion in Minnesota. If only that were the extent of it.

Via LifeZette:

An independent journalist in Ohio has released a video investigation alleging extensive fraud schemes involving the misuse of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) benefits within parts of the state’s Somali community, adding to broader scrutiny of welfare programs and oversight failures.

A favorite scam involves connecting restaurants to grocery stores.

According to the journalist, these grocery stores are able to process EBT transactions for bulk food purchases, which are then used to supply the adjacent restaurants.

Then the grocery stores — which do their business in cash — report large losses that can be used to claim tax write-offs.

Muslim polygamous marriages also increase access to entitlement moola. Multiple wives get paid to be single mothers while working low-wage jobs as they displace the American population by squirting out staggering quantities of offspring.

He says Nakia was absolutely right. Hear from this Columbus resident here.

Meanwhile, in Washington State:

At the Daily Signal, Jarrett Stepman sums up the liberal mentality that produced this situation:

This toxic, civilizationally suicidal impulse of misguided, self-destructive “empathy” mixed with self-loathing is costing us far more than the billions of dollars already pillaged from state coffers. In the end, it may cost us everything.

Combine the welfare state with open borders and you get a looting spree that will bleed America to death. Due to relative reproduction rates, the problem will continue to get increasingly severe even if Democrats do not open the immigration floodgates all the way — and once they get the opportunity, they will.

Everyone was expecting the Democrats to go full nuclear Armageddon on Trump for ObamaCare subsidies, Medicaid funding, daycare funding and welfare benefits.

They have been strangely silent. Wonder why

That astounds me. They are clinically retarded yet they can pull of scams to this level.

The only thing good about it is they are not smart enough to hide it well and got caught. In fact I suspect this was well known for a long time just someone in the gov. higher ups was getting kickbacks. Now the bottom has fallen out.

They have behind-the-scenes, leftist demonKKKrat ‘coaches’, who know how to game the system... I’m betting $5.

Heck , the Somali daycare and autism fraud was actually covered in oversight hearings in the Minnesota legislature almost 10 years ago.

The fraud being called and "open secret" but in reality it is not a secret and has been common knowledge for a decade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRtPX2BKDN8

They had this fraud nailed down at the start of the Walz Administration

I saw that last night in something I posted. In 2015 they knew about it. Yet nothing was done. This is insane.

I watched a video that featured a woman who had worked for the peace corps in Somalia. It was her opinion that the culture in Somalia doesn’t see a problem with fraud. To them, it’s no different that working for money. It’s hustling to provide for your friends/family.

That opinion seems to make sense, given what we’re seeing here.

Don’t be surprised when a system designed to be exploited to buy votes gets exploited.

Here’s the thing - the Somalis came here as refugees. Whether most of them have been engaged in fraud or not, things look OK in Somalia now. Mogadishu is supposed to be the fastest modernizing city in the African continent. When do we send these refugees home, whether they’ve taken part in the fraud or not? Being a refugee is supposed to be a temporary thing.

ALL government entitlement and welfare programs are subject to theft and malfeasance at some level.

Somali’s primitive culture and primitive, Islamic moral standards make such corruption far worse.

So in some sense, we should not be surprised.

The question we must ask is WHY we accept our ever-growing government debt, to pay for corruption of our government, and importation of people who hate America’s way of life and white majority?

Why do we stand for it?

I've heard they have a property bubble.

With $tens of billions in USD remittances, we should not be surprised

This actually exposes a much larger issue.

Our politicians have become so corrupt that the spending bills that allocate the 1-2 trillion dollars a year to the programs riddled with fraud are actually drafted explicitly to enable and facilitate fraud.

These programs were drafted from the gitgo to fraudulently transfer taxpayer money to Democrat and Republican (the DeWine Haitian/Somali machine comes to mind. The only reason the Somalis didn't face scrutiny in 2024 is because cats and dogs are not halal food under Islamic rules.) cronies , allies and political operatives

Our government transfer payment system has become a piggy bank for a full spectrum of broad based fraud schemes that are bankrupting the country.

Says it all -->

I watched the whole Nick Shirley exposé YouTube video last night. It's well worth watching: I Investigated Minnesota’s Billion Dollar Fraud Scandal. It's amazing what a truly curious and brave individual journalist can uncover when all the MSM just buried their heads in the sand and did zero reporting. We've seen that over and over and over again.

Shirley documented FOUR different types of Somali fraud in Minneapolis. We hear a lot about the bogus daycare centers, but it is a lot bigger than that:

  1. Daycare centers without kids
  2. Autism centers without patients or doctors
  3. Home health care -- 13 companies under one industrial park roof and not one of them open
  4. Non-emergency transportation services (taking people to dental appts, doctor appts, etc).
There are HUNDREDS of these fraudulent companies operating in Minneapolis alone. I read a couple days ago that there are over 550 "daycare centers" in Washington DC that speak Somali! There probably aren't even that many Somali kids in all of Washington DC.

ALL of this FRAUD is possible simply because:

  1. Democrats will do anything to stay in power and one of the most important tools they have is importing fraudulent votes. It's their "by any means necessary" core ethos,
  2. Republicans are spineless,
  3. many politicians have to be on the take,
  4. citizens are cowed and fearful of being labeled "Islamophobic" or "racist,"
  5. all of our welfare systems are poorly designed and poorly managed (probably by design).
This is what the rise of Big Government under Woodrow Wilson and FDR brought us.

Shirley is rightfully concerned about his safety and we should all be covered he will be murdered. The Somalis are violent people (as are those whose filthy lucre pipeline is exposed). We can support his security at Black Line Security. Click on the "Guardian Fund" link. Prevent another Charlie Kirk murder.

To: All

Civil forfeiture is a legal process where law enforcement can seize property (cash, cars, homes, etc.) believed to be connected to crime, even if the owner isn’t charged or convicted, by bringing the case against the property itself (an in rem action) rather than the person.

It allows agencies to keep forfeited proceeds, creating incentives to seize assets, and is used to target criminal enterprises but faces criticism for potential abuse and impact on innocent owners.

Key aspects of civil forfeiture:

Targets Property: The legal action is against the asset (e.g., U.S. v. $10,000 in Cash), treating the property as the “defendant”.

No Conviction Needed: Owners can lose property without ever being arrested or found guilty of a crime.

Lower Burden of Proof: The government must prove the property was involved in crime by a “preponderance of evidence,” a lower standard than “beyond a reasonable doubt” in criminal cases.

Profit Incentive: Seized funds often go to the seizing agencies, funding their budgets, which critics argue can lead to policing for profit.

Innocent Owners: Owners must actively contest the seizure in court to prove their innocence (e.g., didn’t know about the illegal use), a process that can be costly and difficult.

Purpose: Originally intended to disrupt large criminal organizations by taking their financial resources, it’s also used when a suspect is a fugitive, deceased, or the owner is unknown.

Examples of Seized Items:
Cash
Vehicles (cars, boats)
Real Estate (homes, buildings)
Other valuable assets

$9 billion can buy a lot of modernizing.
