Woman with ties to Feeding Our Future is first to be charged with childcare fraud
KSTP ^ | 5/21/26 | Kyle Brown

Federal prosecutors have filed the first criminal fraud case connected to Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program against a woman already charged in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.

Fahima Egeh Mahamud now faces one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States after she allegedly received millions in CCAP funds without collecting required co-payments from parents.

In February, Mahamud was charged with wire fraud for her alleged involvement in the $250 million Feeding Our Future meal fraud scheme.

According to charging documents, all of Mahamud’s purported fraud activity came through her business, Future Leaders Early Learning Center in Minneapolis.

During the pandemic, Future Leaders allegedly received $854,000 in Federal Child Nutrition Program reimbursements under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future.

Over a three-year span from 2022 to 2025, an affidavit states Mahamud and Future Leaders submitted more than 13,000 claims through CCAP. Of those, 6,144 that required co-payments yielded $4.6 million in reimbursements.

Last month, federal authorities served 22 search warrants at autism and childcare centers around Minnesota, though Future Leaders was not one of the sites officials publicly named.

The child care center is one of those featured in Nick Shirley's video. I bet there is more than one person involved in both fraudulent businesses.

I also suspect Ilhan Omar is in the middle of all the fraud.

$250 million Feeding Our Future meal fraud scheme

The scale of this fraud is stunning even to a lifelong anti-government cynic like me.

Do you know who else is also in the middle of all this? Sarah Clarke. She is the wife of Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey and also has direct ties to this million dollar scam.

I’m convinced that those programs are designed with fraud in mind.

People are foolish if they don’t believe some of that money ended up in Frey’s pockets.

Intrepid reporter Nick Shirley exposed Somali thief Fahima Egeh Mahamud (mug shot shown) .... the Somali thief faces charges of conspiracy to defraud and falsifying official documents. She allegedly received millions in tax dollars and incessantly lied about receiving the required co-payments from parents.

There's more of her criminality. In February, Mahamud was charged with wire fraud for alleged involvement in the humongous Somali $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud. All of the thieving Somali Mahamud’s purported fraud and lies were through her crazily-named business, "Future Leaders Early Learning Center" in Minneapolis.

I’m thinking of starting my own nonprofit program (for which I will be richly compensated). I’m calling it The Human Fund. People helping people (but mostly me).

Aimee Brock, the ringleader of the Feeding our Future fraud, is due to be sentenced today. She is the one that said Omar was aware of the fraud. However, she has been trying to manipulate public opinion through leaks of sealed information while she is in jail awaiting sentencing hoping for a lighter sentence. Who knows what evidence she has to support that allegation (even though we all believe she is telling the truth)?

“Mr. Blanche comes to Minneapolis”

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/05/mr-blanche-comes-to-minneapolis.php

“The Department of Justice has announced a press conference that will be held a few floors down from the sentencing hearin at 11:00 this morning. It features a large entourage of government officials: Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Assistant Attorney General for the National Fraud Enforcement Division Colin McDonald, Vice Chair of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud Andrew Ferguson, FBI Co-Deputy Director Christopher Raia, CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, and my friend U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen.”

Agree. Also, it would be still be business as usual today with none of us any the wiser if it weren’t for Elon Musk and his team of young geniuses actually taking the time to investigate this crap and make all the information public solely for the betterment of the country!

I like the way you think.

One thing that ticks me off is that the perps and MN politicians act offended that Somalians have been arrested for the fraud and actually accuse the federal government of racism.
