FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a major bombshell on the massive Minnesota fraud scandal on Sunday, revealing that the FBI is pushing for denaturalization and deportation of many involved in the $250 million scheme that ripped off taxpayer dollars meant for hungry kids during COVID. Patel made it clear this is “just the tip of a very large iceberg,” with investigations ramping up to expose even more corruption in federal programs.
In a lengthy statement posted to X in response to the massively viral video uncovering Somali scams by independent journalist Nick Shirley, Patel detailed the takedown of a $250 million scheme centered around the Feeding Our Future network.
This organization, which was supposed to distribute federal food aid to children in need, instead became a hub for sham vendors, shell companies, and large-scale money laundering.

CASE UPDATE: MINNESOTA FRAUD SCHEME
The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota. However, even before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs. Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide.
To date, the FBI dismantled a $250 million fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during COVID. The investigation exposed sham vendors, shell companies, and large-scale money laundering tied to the Feeding Our Future network.
The case led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions. Defendants included Abdiwahab Ahmed Mohamud, Ahmed Ali, Hussein Farah, Abdullahe Nur Jesow, Asha Farhan Hassan, Ousman Camara, and Abdirashid Bixi Dool, each charged for roles ranging from wire fraud to money laundering and conspiracy.
These criminals didn’t just engaged in historic fraud, but tried to subvert justice as well. Abdimajid Mohamed Nur and others were charged for attempting to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash. Those responsible pleaded guilty and were sentenced, including a 10-year prison term and nearly $48 million in restitution in related cases.
The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing.
Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible.

Where is Pinochet when you need him?
I voted for THIS!
I actually would expect no less. Fast-track em back to Buttholistan.
How about reimbursement and prison!
Make it easy on yourself, Patel, and just do the whole darn bunch all across the entire USA, and let their piss-ant demon god, allah, sort em all out.....Spit.
Hey Patel, start with Omar.
PERIOD.
“pushing for denaturalization and deportation”
Meaning some were granted citizenship.
Let’s hope the push is very successful!
It took a 23 year-old kid with an iPhone, spending 1-2 days going around to these places, to put the fraud in front of Americans - and motivate Patel to do something. Meanwhile the 115,000 employee DOJ/FBI did nothing.
I'm sorry to say it folks, but Patel is just ass-covering here and throwing some red-meat to conservative media There will be no denaturalizations, and Walz will likely even be re-elected.
Yes, and deport ALL of them from Somali, Ihlan Omar first!
Does that include Ilhan Omar, Kash?
Bixi Dool, Bixi Dool
What ya gonna Do
When They Come for You?
Freeze all accounts.
Throw Walzing Timalda in with the exodus.
“Buttholistan.” Lol!!
Much of the fraud involves Somalis setting up sham companies to bill the government for healthcare or entitlement services.
The Somalis take the money, provide no services and then split the government money with the entitlements recipients 50-50.
This was a huge scam with student loans under Obama.
Obama loosened the rules on institutions qualifying for student loans program loans so much that Democrats began opening fly by night, sham “trade schools” teaching things like manicures and hair extensions.
They would enroll “students” and split the loan money 50-50 with the “student” with no intention of attending classes at the non existent school.
Of course, there was never any intent to pay back the loans
This is actually basic Democrat welfare fraud 101. The Democrats have perfected the system of entitlement fraud to a smoothly operating machine and these schemes occur all across the country on a daily basis.
The Somalis, Haitians and the rest of the Biden invaders are just more blatant, greedy and carefree about their fraud.
The people who are the entitlement recipients that are getting kick backs are active participants in the fraud. Many of these fraud schemes are ongoing so the recipients are getting their kickbacks on a weekly or monthly basis.
This is really easy to prove because the government needs accounts and invoices to pay the bills.
Virtually 100% of the Somali community is on welfare and the multitude of free public services and probably over half of them are involved in the fraud so it’s not just the ringleaders who are subject to deportation, all of the people who participated the fraud are liable too.
There will be a lot of denaturalizations going on.
Me too and Im be VERY happy when I see Tim Walz in handcuffs, his fingerprints are ALL OVER THIS..him, Omar, Ellison, the commies in Minnesota BANKED ON THIS in order to have a permanent voter block and keep Minnesota blue forever
No, No! Google the names and dates of the perps. Patel has been working like mad on this - without recognition - for a long time! President Trump praised him today, and so should we all, INHO.
And spend $40,000 a year to feed and house them? Besides most of the money is long gone and they cannot pay it back. But when they are deported, make sure they are penniless.
