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.
These actions have drawn stiff criticism from local officials, including Omar.
"There is no reason for them to use this level of rhetoric. There is no reason for them to fully stop these programs, funding these programs," Omar said. "The only reason they are doing that is for PR purposes. And it is harming our state. It is harming my..."

Shut Up...fraudee

Well…68 IQ.
What she’s REALLY saying “How dare you check out the fraud that Obama and the Dems allowed to happen here in order to secure a permanent voter block, dont you dare investigate that is OUR money we deserved every penny cause we voted Dem and gave them money in campaign contributions”
What an insult to America that she is still here and still in power in DC in the US Government.
Shameful.
“Those who are kind to the cruel
will in the end be cruel to the kind.”
——Talmud on Ecclesiastes.
In response to Omar’s comments, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said Sunday that it was “not surprising” that the congresswoman is “more concerned about Somali fraudsters being held accountable for their crimes than she is about the fraud taking place.”
“There is absolutely no reason for my people to stop their scheming, crooked, fraudulent ways. They are sticking it to whitey.” Omar said.
DHS, ICE, and the FBI prioritize. There are many criminals, fraudsters, and illegal aliens there. Thus, many federal law enforcement agencies are also there.
Truth always throws the delusional and the mendacious into confusion and chaos.
Note to Ilhan “Pipsqueak” Omar: D-Day sowed a lot of confusion and chaos too.
Cornered rat, lashing out
What is confusing about stealing a billion dollars?
I guess wondering who is going to fund your next race might be confusing. But Somalis have a low IQ, so everything might be a bit confusing.
RE: Ilhan Omar says the investigations of fraud are confusing....
Dazed and Confused
(updated)
Been dazed and confused for so long, it’s so true.
Elected a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people defrauding few of them know
Soul of you, woman was created below.
You hurt and abuse, tellin’ all of your lies
Run ‘round, you lying skank,
Anti white fraudster,
I don’t know where you been.
That’s a feature, not a bug.
Ilhan Omar is a jinn witch!
She’s evil. Even the other muslims here should kick her demonic butt out of the US.
Everyone should be sick and tired of her prevarication and smoke screens.
She stole multimillions from US taxpayers.
Prison or deportation to Somalia should be her choices.
The same for her associates.
And Tampon needs to be shipped to the CCP in a metal drum.
Then then get the flock out of my country you ignorant Sammie b***h! Maggot.
Yep- how dare Americans complain that their tax money is being STOLEN BY SOMALIES!
dont worry- congress is goign to ‘look into her fraud’ annnnnny day now
