President Trump is taking decisive against the egregious fraud being committed against American taxpayers, and @USTreasury is following the money.

We took on the mafia. We took on the cartels. Now, we are cracking down on Somali fraud networks and money being wired out of our country.

We are opening investigations and putting an end to illicit activities in order to defend taxpayers and put America First.

I VOTED FOR THIS

[Paladin2]

One can only hope.

Is the Br0nc0/Biziden DOJ over?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Not just Somali fraud, but democrap fraud as well. For example, why isn’t Pelosi being investigated? We have a law called “The stock act of 2012” signed into law by Obama, NO member of Congress can trade on insider info.

If democraps want to be scumbags and indict Trump on utter bullsht, fake impeachments - which was led by Pelosi - then bring it to her as well.

[SmokingJoe]

Pelosi dealing shares was still within the law.
Hasn't been changed yet.

[SpaceBar]

democrap fraud as well...

The Somalis had plenty of help by our homegrown left filling out all those forms, translating, representing them, and otherwise greasing the skids of a multi-billion dollar theft ring.

It takes a Swamp village

[Paladin2]

Treasury needs to be in front of this.

Following is BS.

“Patience you must have my young Padawan.”

[quantim]

Small stuff by comparison but would like about 20 million SNAP cards pulled too.

[Third Person]

decisive what?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“money being wired out of our country”

How about hundreds of millions of dollars in CASH being carried out on aircraft originating at the MSP airport in briefcases by Somali couriers? How the hell does that happen?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The low-IQ Somalis are too stupid to have invented all these fraud schemes out of thin air. The fraud schemes were invented by Dems and they were taught to their low level flunkies, the Somalis.

[Nateman]

Now look at them Somalians
that’s the way you do it
You scam The Man then charge a fee
That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Money for nothin’ and government checks for free
Now that ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, they think you’re dumb
Maybe flip you a finger
Grifting America is lots of fun

[VanShuyten]

For some reason, I want Elon and DOGE back.

[SmokingJoe]

The Somalis are very good at stealing and fraud.
Can you get them to design rockets to go to space?
Nope.
But you can get them to shoplift, pick pockets etc etc. Low IQ stuff.

[SmokingJoe]

Elon will not come back.
Too much to do.
Not sure how he manages to do so much work.

[SmokingJoe]

That's easy to stop.

[Bshaw]

“I VOTED FOR THIS”

Word!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Easy to stop” — indeed. All it takes is the necessary conditions: 1) the will and 2) pols not profiting from it. Not sure we have 1 or 2.
