Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar denounced a surge of federal agents to Minneapolis targeting Somalis and other immigrants after a fraud scheme in the state, saying the Trump administration has sown "confusion and chaos."
"It's not necessary in a moment when we are trying to deal with a serious problem that needs serious people to be able to address it," Omar said Sunday on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."
The Minneapolis area now has one of the largest concentrations of Department of Homeland Security agents in any American city in recent years. There are more than 2,400 federal agents, more than double the number of local police officers, and the federal government intends to send hundreds more.
The administration says the surge has been necessary to conduct both immigration enforcement and to investigate a growing fraud scandal in the state, the cost of which federal prosecutors estimate could top $9 billion. The scandal dates back to 2021, when Biden administration Justice Department investigators first honed in on an at least $250 million COVID-era scam revolving around the Feeding Our Future program, a case that now includes more than 75 defendants.
Most of the defendants are of Somali descent, leading President Trump and other Republican lawmakers to focus attention on the state's large Somali community, while threatening to suspend federal funding to the state across a broad array of programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, and child care funding.

Trump seems pretty serious to me.
That’s the narrative, but she’s coveting her new money fortune. What’s gone on in Minneapolis is beyond disgusting criminal theft. I encourage the rest of the state’s residents to end these people’s ambitions.
Creating confusion where? In her very small brain?
Trump administration has sown "confusion and chaos" in how to avoid working for a living.
Confused about her grift continuing. Chaos trying to cover it up.
If waste and fraud are followed by confusion and chaos, isn’t that a step in the right direction?
Confusion and chaos about where all their Free Money disappeared to ,LOL
They must be getting close to her bank account....
“”””Rep. Ilhan Omar says federal probe into Minnesota’s welfare fraud is “creating confusion and chaos”””””
Karma is a b—ch.
So sorry to hear you are confused and chaotic.
We be black, get off a our backs.
Chaos comes from lawbreakers. Confusion comes from dumbbells. There may be an intersectional thing going on there...
Democratic Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar......who once said she “represents”
Somalia in Congress came to the defense of her thieving Somali constituents.
Omar vigorously denounced federal agents targeting Somalis
after massive Somali fraud schemes ravaged the state.
Omar stupidly said “the Trump administration” has sown confusion and chaos. “It’s not necessary when we are trying to deal with a serious problem that needs serious people to be able to address it,” Omar told “Face the Nation.”
She’s the one who married her brother.
“Rep. Ilhan Omar says federal probe into Minnesota’s welfare fraud is “creating confusion and chaos””
I prefer to think of it as “shock and awe”.
she’s a good one to talk
Note to Ilhan “Pipsqueak” Omar: D-Day sowed a lot of confusion and chaos too.
This woman is filth and leader of the fraud.
She quickly learned the Art of Gas Lighting
Must be running out of places to hide.
