What is it with Minnesota? Something in the air? Something in the water of those 10,000 lakes? Or is it the (let's say this softly) Third World people from low-trust cultures that they have been so freely importing? Whatever it is, Minnesota seems to be Fraud Central Station, and now we see another Minneapolis resident has been busted and is facing charges. This one is alleged to have engaged in a million-dollar Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) fraud rip-off.
Authorities in Minnesota have filed criminal charges against a man accused of a food stamp fraud scheme that defrauded taxpayers out of over $1 million.
Abdidwahid Mohamed, the owner of Minnesota Food Grocery LLC, allegedly used EBT cards registered to others to purchase items at Sam’s Club and Costco in 2021 before turning around and reselling them in his store, Fox 9 Minneapolis reported.
Authorities in Hennepin County say they observed Mohamed making purchases and followed him back to his store with the goods. Surveillance footage and GPS data backed this up, while investigators noted that many of the EBT cardholders were either out of the country or say they never shopped at the stores he used.
"Out of the country?" One wonders if some of them have ever been in the country.
The Republican challenging Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) in this year's midterm elections, Dalia al-Aqidi, was quick to pounce.
"Minneapolis didn't become America's fraud capital by accident," Dalia al-Aqidi, a Republican running for Congress in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District against Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., told Fox News Digital. "It was earned. This week, it's a grocer charged with running up $1.1 million in charges on other people's EBT cards. Next week, it will be something else, but the bill always lands on the Minnesotans who actually pay taxes."
Aqidi says that families tell her "affordability" is what "keeps them up night" and the "cruel joke is that the money is here to really make a difference for people."
"It is just lining the wrong pockets and paying for luxury cars and houses on the other side of the world. The fraudsters are only half the story. The other half are the people administering these programs, from the front lines all the way up to Ilhan Omar, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Governor Tim Walz. There has been talk about ending fraud in Minnesota for years. I am going to Washington to actually do it."
That last part is something of a long shot; al-Aqidi was also Rep. Omar's Republican opponent in 2024 and lost by almost a 3-1 margin. To call this a safe Democratic district is to engage in a gross understatement.
Still, this goblin was caught, it seems by local authorities, and that's good. But how many more are out there? How many people, imported from low-trust societies where fraud and graft are accepted as normal, are reverting to their old ways right here, in the United States?
This is a big issue for the midterms, and it won't work in the Democrats' favor. The GOP would be smart to keep this message going, to publicize every fraudster caught and charged - and to note how much they ripped off.

Was every Democrat social program really a criminal enterprise from day one, and never mind the usual political arguments?
Apparently so. NO OVERSIGHT! NO ACCOUNTABILITY! They just let the Somalis and anybody else just steal as much as they could as fast as they could. SNAP, SSI, EBT, WIC whatever agency was giving out benefits of any kind they used them as their piggy bank. Faked autism in kids, faked elderly food distribution, faked assisted living corporations, child care, you name it!..............
Gezzers, all, sorts of crap is coming out of Minnesota these days drip drip drip...
Abdidwahid Mohamed should go to prison for a long time, of course.
But aren’t there EBT supervisors, folks who should be monitoring the program for fraud? These people need to be fired, every one of them. And if gross negligence can be shown, haul them off to jail, too.
Paraphrasing the old saying: Evil flourishes when supervisors do nothing.
"used EBT cards registered to others to purchase items at Sam’s Club and Costco"
Import turd world Somali trash pirate culture get somali trash pirate culture.
Dalia al-Aqidi. Republican. Sure.
They cover both bases.............
Kind of explains budget deficits and a good chunk of the National debt.
Ohio is not far behind. They have a large Somali population as well. and Maine, too....Thank Obozo..........
Yeah, but when Klobuchar is elected governor she promises to get to the bottom of it all.
With Tim Walz’ help if necessary!
$1 million is small potatoes for MN, but still glad to see this.
Now lets get after the big grifts up there.
I’m SHOCKED!!!!!!!!
That lovely, beautiful, incredibly smart and honest woman again? Perhaps she just needs a lovely vacation in Alcatraz to get her r life together again. Surely she’s a misunderstood genius.
For whatever it's worth, she's Iraqi.
Our criminal Congress is 100% responsible since they spend all the money, in addition they put some $6 BILLION each and every day permanently on the current national debt of $40 TRILLION.
AKA the Uniparty when it comes to spending and redistribution of wealth as they work together, it’s going to takes a COS (Convention of States) to fix this. This is how Civil War III starts!
She will flee the country rather than be arrested when the indictments finally come out.............
Dalia al-Aqidi running against Omar is Iraqi-born of Arab descent, who identifien s as a Muslim and a “secular immigrant.” A former journalist and political analyst born in Baghdad, she immigrated to the U.S. in 1993, later becoming a U.S. citizen.
Key details regarding her background include: She is Arab and Iraqi born in Baghdad and educated at the Institute of Fine Arts there. She has also mentioned that a portion of her childhood was spent in Lebanon. She identifies as a Muslim and is a Republican candidate.
She is a refugee from Iraq, often highlighting her journey to escape oppression, as noted in her profile as a Republican candidate in Minnesota.
I suspect more than half of SNAP benefits are fraudulently received. Minnesota judges have a history of giving the culprits a slap on the wrist so they know chances of being arrested is small and chances of any major repercussions is even smaller. I also bet fraud related funds are supporting 90% of the GDP of Somalia.
