On Wednesday evening President Trump gave a statement on the shooting of the National Guardsmen near the White House. In his statement he took up the Minnesota fraud cases. At about 2:00 President Trump asserted that “hundreds of thousands” of Somalis are “ripping off our country and ripping apart that once great state [of Minnesota]. Billions of dollars are lost and gangs of Somalians come from a country that doesn’t even have a government, no laws, no military, nothing — as their representatives in our country preach to us about our Constitution and how our country is no good.”
“Hundreds of thousands” is an exaggeration. We have some 100,000 Somali citizens and residents in Minnesota. In the United States we have “hundreds of thousands” of Somalis in total. The number committing fraud in Minnesota must number in the hundreds rather than the thousands. However, we certainly have a serious problem and Trump did everything but call out Ilhan Omar by name.

The US provided approximately $1.18 billion in foreign aid to Somalia for fiscal year 2023, with $745.3 million for FY 2024 and $136.9 million for FY 2025, according to USAFacts.
This aid is a combination of humanitarian and security assistance, including funding for food, health, and education programs, as well as support for Somali and its African Union forces.
Breakdown of aid
Humanitarian Assistance: The US is a major donor of humanitarian aid, which includes emergency food, shelter, and health services to address issues like drought and conflict displacement.
Security Assistance: The US provides security aid to Somali and AU forces through training, equipment, and advising programs, with over $3 billion in security assistance to Somalia over the past decade, notes the Stimson Center.
Development Assistance: Funding also goes towards long-term development, such as strengthening institutions, creating jobs, and improving access to basic services like water, sanitation, and education.
Recent data
Fiscal Year 2023: The US committed about $1.18 billion in aid.
Fiscal Year 2024: $745.3 million has been reported for FY 2024.
Fiscal Year 2025: $136.9 million has been reported for FY 2025.
Additional context
The US Department of State reports that it provides assistance for a wide range of needs, from responding to crises like drought and famine to supporting economic and political stability.
The U.S. has consistently been the largest single donor of humanitarian aid for Somalia and for Somali refugees in the region, according to the U.S. Department of State.

I would like to know how many of these Somali refugees have become US citizens and now vote in Minnesota. This is a knowable number, but no one seems to have an answer. Same for all refugees, but especially those who settle in specific areas and become major voting blocs.

The timing is interesting. He couda’ brought this subject up earlier but waited until an illegal muslim shoots 2 of our guardsmen on our soil.
Should Bondi go after her for immigration fraud? The subsequent deportation would be a feather in our cap. Marrying one’s brother is another of those 80-20 issues(more like 98-2). I don’t think they’ll put in the effort.
Remember ‘childless cat ladies’? A week after JD made that statement it was on social media-Haitians barbecuing cats. It’s the timing of those 80-20 issues.

When a person has a ‘Temporary Visa’ what is the meaning of the word ‘Temporary’? It means until ICE hunts them down and packs them off.

They changed the state flag to a Somali flag. Government agencies us Somali as a first language. Somalis are all on some sort of welfare or work for American hating NGOs facilitating more imported Somalis. The stupid mayor of minnidishu learned Somali. The state has been conquered. They breed and they will spread their filthy culture far and wide.

Deport the Somalis with Ilhan Omar, a corrupt terrorist, in the lead. We don’t need them here.

Omar’s immigration status is fraudulent, as is Mamdani’s. Both need to be returned to their sh!thole countries of origin.

Enough that it isn’t worth voting in their districts.
