.........Somali schemes aimed at diverting federal tax dollars meant for the
poor, food insecure or disabled, started after Gov. Tim Walz took office in 2019......

In its early stages, Somali members of the charitable group
“Feeding Our Future” billed the state for some $3.4 million.
<><>By 2021, however, that number ballooned.
<><>”Feeding Our Future” had falsely claimed to have served 91 million meals,
<><>the Somali group received nearly $250 million in federal tax dollars funds,
<><>tax dollars did not go to feed kids,
<><>it was used to fund lavish Somali lifestyles.

I agree. This is so blatant that I do not see how someone is not charged in the state gov, but stranger things have happened.

Investigators say tax dollars came from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with oversight from state government......all administered by the Minn state Department of Education, which historically fed kids through schools and day cares.

.........renewed attention has focused on the state’s failure to identify and halt the theft before it spun out of control. ........bloggers allege liberals were cowed into inaction by intimidation from the state’s large Somali community — who sought to paint early scrutiny as “racism”......

When CBS is willing to admit fraud in a Democrat stronghold then you know it’s beyond huge and totally pervasive in the Somali community. E. G. The “autism” scam. The organizers recruited large numbers of parents to claim their child was autistic and paid the anywhere from $300 to $1500. The parents are equally guilty of fraud. Deport them or jail them and then deport them.
