As we’ve reported, federal prosecutors have uncovered massive fraud in Minnesota’s federally funded food child nutrition programs, where scammers – many of them of Somalian descent – allegedly ripped off over a billion dollars from taxpayers. Some are predicting the end of Gov. Tim Walz’s political career, as this went down under his watch, and it’s been revealed that Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) held her campaign victory party in 2018 at a restaurant owned by a man who was convicted in March on 21 counts related to the scandal, including wire fraud, federal programs bribery and money laundering.
Not a good look.
What’s stunning about these massive crimes is just how easy they were to pull off, according to former federal prosecutor Joe Teirab, who worked on the Feeding Our Future case. Feeding Our Future was the non-profit that claimed to provide meals to low‑income children, but in reality, was just taking the money and running off with it.
Teirab, who ran for Congress as a Republican in 2024 but lost to a Democrat in the deep blue state, said all you needed was a computer and the ability to lie at will:
"When I was on the Feeding Our Future case, the big thing that jumped out to me was, honestly, how easy this fraud was to do," Teirab told Fox News Digital. "I mean, these fraudsters were just saying that they were spending all this money on feeding kids, and they were just making up these PDFs, putting false names into Excel sheets. I could do that in five minutes on a computer if I had absolutely no conscience."

Easy. A trifecta of “victimhood” with white guilt ridden progs.
Black, Muslim, Somalis. + America hating white guilt progs. = fraud.
False names, false or no SS numbers. Who keeps writing appropriation bills that shovel the money to these NGOs? Can’t Congressional staff read these things before Reps vote for them or is everybody getting kickbacks?

Walz was not duped, he was complicit.
It is a whole stinking industry of race GRAFT.

No, the claim is not accurate.
The major fraud cases involving members of Minnesota's Somali community—primarily the Feeding Our Future scheme (exploiting federal child nutrition programs during COVID, with ~$250–300 million stolen) and related schemes in autism services and housing stabilization—began surfacing with federal indictments in 2022, under the Biden administration's DOJ.
These cases have led to charges against 70–86 individuals (sources vary slightly, with recent DOJ announcements reaching the 78th defendant), of whom more than 90% are of Somali descent (around 72–86 people). Convictions number in the dozens (e.g., 56–59 reported across reports).
The fraud itself largely occurred during 2020–2022 (spanning the end of the Trump administration and start of Biden's), but federal prosecutions (indictments, trials, and convictions) overwhelmingly happened post-2021 under Biden's DOJ.
Almost all the mass Somali fraud was committed under Biden so of course Biden should have prosecuted most of the fraud.
Some people, from early in life, always look from the view point of view “what’s in it for me” “how do I get what I want” and they’ll usually end up using any way, taking advantage of people or systems to get what they want.
Short version: some people influenced by, or sold their soul to the devil.
Prosecutions are ongoing.
BREAKING HEAT ON MN FRAUD SYNDICATE—TREASURY DROPS THE HAMMER THIS WEEK
Just yesterday (Dec 12), Treasury Sec Scott Bessent announced a full-court press: Geographic Targeting Order on money services businesses (hawala fronts) to track every wire to Somalia. Treasury boots on the ground in MN, FinCEN notices incoming, IRS audits locked in. “Egregious fraud… hundreds of millions… funds sent to Somalia.” They're coming for the strip-mall laundromats.
Hours later (Dec 13), Fox drops court exhibits: grifters blew stolen meal money on mansions, Mercedes, Rolls-Royces, Dubai gold—photos straight from trial. Same crew that claimed “feeding kids” while buying lake houses and Maldives honeymoons.
Past 7 days: 10-year sentence (Dec 11) for Empire Cuisine ringleader who looted $48M. Convictions stacking—over 50 guilty pleas, 78 indicted total in FOF alone. Broader scams (autism, housing) pushing statewide theft north of $1B.
Walz’s “prevention” office? Still a joke. Nonprofit corpse-humpers sweating hard—January 20th is six weeks out, and the cavalry's already raiding the wire rooms.
Navy vet Phillip Parrish called this racket years ago while the DFL machine looked away. Now the feds are using my maps. Time to drain it all. #MNFraud #Parrish4Gov #HawalaHammer

Where did you do your “internet research” at?
On Mars?
Look at X.
"False.
The statement claims that in 2025, under the second Trump administration (which began January 20, 2025), the U.S. Department of Justice initiated or announced no new federal prosecutions of Somalis in Minnesota for fraud schemes separate from ongoing cases originating under the Biden administration.
Evidence shows the DOJ did initiate and announce new prosecutions in 2025, including schemes distinct from the main Feeding Our Future (FOF) case (which began with major charges in 2022 under Biden).
In September 2025, the DOJ charged Asha Farhan Hassan (and indicated more charges to come) in a new $14 million autism therapy fraud scheme targeting the Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention program. Prosecutors explicitly described it as the “first defendant” in this autism fraud investigation, involving recruitment from the Somali community and fraudulent billing for non-provided services.
⅞This is separate from the core FOF child nutrition fraud.
Also in 2025, the DOJ announced charges in a housing stabilization services fraud scheme (e.g., eight defendants in one case, many of Somali descent), alleged to involve over $100–300 million in fraudulent claims for non-provided housing assistance."
So you gonna stop lying or not?
Biden Admin had 4 years to prosecute someone, and I doubt anyone was prosecuted in the first two of those years.
Trump has had less than 1 year so far.
