Claims “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar was in on the $250 million scam.
Omar would personally step in whenever those waivers ran out, allowing the rampant fraud to continue, Bock alleged.
Aimee Bock, founder of Feeding Our Future, was convicted in March 2025 of conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud for helping restaurant owners file fake or inflated claims during the pandemic to steal millions in child nutrition funds from the government.
She spoke to The Post by video call this week from Sherburne County Jail, where she is awaiting sentencing.
Bock has consistently denied knowingly participating in the fraud and insisted she tried to warn state officials. Her group would review the reimbursement paperwork sent by the local restaurants supposed to provide meals, send them out and then distribute the federal funds to them.
“The notion that I’m personally responsible for all of it . . . is so frustrating. I’m the only white person out of 80 or 90 individuals [charged in the fraud]. I’m the only one that doesn’t speak the language,” she added.
Omar was instrumental in loosening the laws that set the stage for the scheme — first by introducing the MEALS Act to Congress in March 2020, which allowed the US Department of Agriculture to issue waivers of school-meal requirements during the pandemic.
The waivers dramatically eased oversight of the federal programs by allowing restaurants to participate without any of the usual site inspections.
“There had been a couple times early on that there were some gaps – a waiver would be set to expire on maybe the 15th of a month, and then the renewal didn’t kick in until the 1st,” Bock claimed. “Because of course this was supposed to be a short-term thing . . . we were supposed to be home for two weeks.”

Prosecute Omar. De-Naturalize . Send to CECOT before going back to Somali.
Aimee is locked up but Omar isn’t? Doesn’t make sense.
The real question is whether or not she is willing to testify or present some evidence.
My guess is the Somalis would have her or her family killed before that could happen.
So?
So Bock is the fall guy? The one white face? How the hell is that execrable Omar getting so protected?
And she still gets to go around thinking she’s a bigshot congresswoman? That needs to come to an end.
Then jail.
What’s it going to take to get that scoundrel out of office and in prison? She’s broken so many laws it’s hard to comprehend how she is still a free woman.
(What’s it going to take to get
that scoundrel Ilhan Omar out of office?)
World War 11?
No wait...
World War 12!
Until this is said under oath & ends with Omar’s execution, it’s all just garbage.
Bush, Osama import Somalia,
now well along turning MN into a Schiffhole like they came from.
“fundamental transformation” ..
I remember the Chris Rock joke about the only black people in Minnesota being Prince and Kirby Puckett.
“Prosecute Omar. De-Naturalize . Send to CECOT before going back to Somali.”
I like your way of thinking.
Hopefully, Bock has an email, recording, or text message that supports her claim. Knowing it is true and proving it are two different things.
Of course she did. She probably helped organize it....................
It’s not like she didn’t enrich herself. Omar had found someone who would not rock the boat as long as she herself could also partake in the theft. What Bock didn’t quite grasp is that she was also being set up to take the fall and provide a shield for Omar, who is the real thief.
btt
Lock her camel smellin’ arse up! Until all of the RAT Señators get their conjugal visit with her and then deport her ass.
