Report: Migrant Groups Embezzle $2M from Donations to Maine Murder Victims
Breitbart ^ | October 22, 2026 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 10/22/2026 6:27:51 PM PDT by House Atreides

Nearly $2 million dollars donated to the victims of Maine’s biggest mass shooting didn’t go to the victims and instead went into the hands of Muslim groups and left-wing migrant activist groups, according to a new report.

After the mass shooting that claimed the lives of 18 innocent people in Lewiston, Maine, in October of 2023, the state’s Democrat Governor, Janet Mills, promoted an organization called the Maine Community Foundation that began taking donations from the public to benefit the survivors of the rampage. Mills endorsed the organization as the only trustworthy place to send donations to help the victims.

But it is now coming to light that not all of the $4.7 million raised for the victims and their families actually went where organizers promised the money would go, according to Maine Wire’s Steve Robinson.

The nearly $5 million in donations was supposed to benefit the 162 family members of the 18 victims. But it now appears that at least $1.9 million was siphoned off and handed over to 29 local non-governmental organizations and community organizers, none of which had any connection at all to the victims of the shooting and which provided no services to them after the attack.

NGOs that appear to have accepted the $65,522 include Somali Bantu Community Association, Generational Noor, The Root Cellar, Gateway Community Services, United Way of Androscoggin County, Tree Street Youth, The AK Collaborative, New Mainers Public Health Initiative, Empowered Immigrant Women Unite, Maine Inside Out, Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition, and more.

Since Robinson’s investigation into the donations, Maine’s Democrat Attorney General, Aaron Frey, claimed that he has no legal authority to investigate the fraud and said the state would take no action.

I googled for pictures of the victims and it appeared that NONE of the murdered victims were Somalis or any other kind of immigrant or illegal aliens. Why the hell give this money (intended for the survivors of the shooting victims) to UNINVOLVED organizations supporting.

OUR NATION IS BEING PLUNDERED!

Janet Mills should be personally responsible to pay back all the people she conned into donating to this fraudulent “charity” ...

Other sites have been reporting on this for months. It’s good to see Breitbart catch up.

FR thread from January 2026 here:

“Somali refugee resigns from Maine city council after his nonprofit took $65,000 meant for mass shooting victims”

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4361509/posts

The Mainewire has published multiple articles on the corruption in regard to the donations.

Here is one from February.

“Lewiston Victims Fund Fallout Deepens as Nonprofits Face Pressure to Return Shooting Donations”

There may be lots of bad people out there, but this isn’t an example of “OUR NATION IS BEING PLUNDERED!” As you might imagine, the Maine Community Foundation has a different take, and has the receipts.

Yet another post from you telling me that you’d be more at home at the DemocRAT Underground site. IMHO, of course.
