There is no whitewashing this scandal: segments of the Somali community in Minneapolis have been engaged in systematic welfare fraud, and used some of the proceeds to fund the Al-Shabaab terror group in their homeland.
The enraging City Journal exposé presents a case study in why the United States must drastically slash the number of immigrants it admits, and become significantly more rigorous in choosing whom to admit and how to assimilate them.
“There is an issue here that is real,” a law-enforcement source said, “and if there is ever an event that is traceable back to these funds, or to people from this area, then this situation will take on a whole new set of optics.”
The US Attorney for Minnesota has obtained 56 guilty pleas involving Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit ostensibly set up to ensure food security for children during the pandemic, but which in reality hosed state taxpayers to the tune of $300 million. The organisations sponsored by Feeding Our Future were primarily owned and operated by members of Minnesota’s Somali community.
Feeding Our Future is only one such scheme. Investigators have uncovered massive fraud in Minnesota’s Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services, as well as federal child-welfare and autism programmes. Asha Farhan Hassan, charged in the autism case, is also implicated in Feeding Our Future.
Hassan and her alleged co-conspirators recruited Somali parents’ children into autism therapy services — even if a child did not have an autism diagnosis — facilitating fraudulent claims. Parents reportedly received monthly kickbacks ranging from $300 to $1,500 per child, with some allegedly threatening to go to other fraud networks unless their rates were increased.
Sure enough, both the number of autism providers and the rate of diagnosis have ballooned, with Somali activists insisting, as City Journal reported, that their community needs...

The president’s decision to negate Somali’s Temporary Protective Status comes as the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank, alleged that millions of dollars were being funneled to the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab in connection with the Feeding Our Future scam.
The Minneapolis Somali community has been involved in several significant fraud schemes, most notably the multi-million dollar “Feeding Our Future” federal child nutrition program fraud, and other unrelated cases involving Medicaid fraud and immigration fraud.
Somali Feeding Our Future Fraud Scheme
This is the largest fraud scheme in Minnesota history, centered on the Somali nonprofit “Feeding Our Future” and related Somali entities. Participants exploited a federally funded program, intended to provide free meals to children during the COVID-19 pandemic, by Somalis submitting fraudulent claims for millions of meals that were never served.
Key aspects of the scheme:
More than $250 million was fraudulently obtained and laundered. Somali individuals and companies created shell companies and fake meal sites, submitted false meal count sheets and attendance rosters, and offered kickbacks to Somali families to use their children’s information for enrollment.
Somali money Laundering: Stolen funds were used to purchase luxury vehicles, commercial and residential real estate for Somalis in Minnesota and Somalis abroad (Kenya, Turkey, Ohio, Kentucky), and to fund Somali international travel.
Over 70 individuals have been charged, with many pleading guilty or being convicted at trial. The case also involved an alleged attempt to bribe a juror.
Other Noteworthy Somali Frauds
Medicaid/Autism Services Fraud: Several Somali individuals, including clinic owners and employees, have been charged in separate large-scale Medicaid fraud cases. Schemes involved Somalis billing for services not provided (such as “standing around and drinking tea”), using unqualified staff, and paying kickbacks to clients to maintain enrollment.
One case involved Somali claims related to an autism program where nearly $14 million in fraudulent Somali claims were submitted.
Housing Stabilization Services Fraud: Somali defendants have been charged with exploiting the state’s Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program, a Medicaid benefit, by creating fraudulent Somali claims for services that were not rendered.
Immigration Fraud: Federal authorities have conducted operations targeting Somali immigration fraud, uncovering instances of Somali marriage fraud, the use of fake Somali death certificates, and forged documents within the Somali community.
Voter Fraud: A former Somali campaign volunteer for a state senator was convicted of lying to a federal grand jury regarding his involvement in illegally delivering Somali absentee ballots without the voters’ consent during a primary election.
Federal authorities emphasize their commitment to pursuing those who exploit government programs for personal profit.
There was never any intent to assimilate.
This was a planned invasion, facilitated by the democrat party.
Hundreds should be executed for what they’ve done to the USA.
Trump said “We’ll get Mexico to pay for the wall.”
Somalia said “Hold my beer, we’ll get US taxpayers to pay for the invasion.” They succeeded.
” facilitated by the democrat party.”
And the Republicans :).
Any relation to shish kabob?
Maybe......
Yes, them also.
I’d argue they’ve assimilated nicely in a dim run state. Figured out the system quickly.
‘Assimilation’ was never intended to be part of the mix.
Quite the contrary actually.
MAGA hilights the money going to immigrants.The media swamp hi lites the money spent ICE and National guard in cities.
Meanwhile the swamp still wastes much more money and DOGE seems dead. Deloitte spends more money per week 52 weeks a year on WFAWaste Fraud Abuse than all the money spent on ICE and National Guard in Chicago.
Why
The left searched the globe for genetic dead-ends and then imported them.
There was the child care fraud, the “feeding the students” fraud, the housing assistance fraud, and now the autism kickbacks fraud. That’s in addition to the case-after-case of physician Medicaid/Medicare billing fraud.
When will our nation...the hard working taxpayers.... say “Enough is enough”?
Minnesota have a SOLD sign at the state line?.
The joint is infested with problems a strange people.
Even for legal immigrants now living in this country, if there is no attempt on their part of assimilating to the American culture within a two year window of arrival, deport them because they’ve come here only to leach off of our welfare system and to change our culture to their own. For the illegals, deport them ASAP, regardless.
Assimilate Or Die ...great Tshirt!!!
