The Justice Department unveiled charges against five people accused of orchestrating a sophisticated campaign to rip off federal financial aid by enrolling “ghost students” who existed only on paper — seizing about $750,000 in ill-gotten funds. The network operated in the US and Kenya, where a phony safari company banked the loot after applying to and then enrolling phony students in college, using stolen identification. The Kenyan scheme is believed to have netted about $2 million. Three of the five defendants — Mabed Utate-Alberto, Patricia Perez and George Mendez — were charged in New Jersey for acting as “money mules”...

It must be good to be a black, Muslim woman, the first such to get elected to Congress and, not incidentally, a Democrat and an avowed hater of the United States and of Israel. If you can check all those boxes, then you can commit the most overt and obvious frauds and scams, and the mainstream media will act in lockstep to cover up, suppress and minimize your wrongdoing. But at some point the brazenness can become too much even for the New York Times. That appears to have happened in the past couple of days in the case of...

U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona Timothy Courchaine's office is investigating reports about "three non-profit organizations registering non-citizens to vote in Arizona" and has already referred the matter to the FBI, he said Friday night.

Courchaine asked them to review...

Eight people have been indicted for conspiring to steal more than $7 million from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) between April 2023 and September 2025. The alleged fraud impacted thousands of victims, many of whom never received reimbursement for the stolen benefits. Belal Hauter, 34, allegedly led the conspiracy by opening or directing coconspirators to open numerous merchant processing accounts in the names of various delis, bodegas, or grocery stores, including a deli where multiple defendants worked. The co-conspirators also opened numerous bank accounts to connect to those processing accounts, so EBT transactions went directly to accounts under their...

A little-known agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ended a myriad legal giveaways to 2.2 million migrants welcomed by President Joe Biden. The withdrawal of the legal giveaways allows the department’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to overcome the army of elite-funded pro-migration lawyers who are trying to minimize deportations. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency is “reversing the downstream effects of the Biden border crisis,” the department stated on October 29. The statement added: “These actions are in addition to the millions of visa revocations and denials issued by the U.S. Department of State...

With the midterms days away, federal officials are arresting and charging noncitizens accused of illegally registering and voting.

Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar’s ex-husband and rumored brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, referred to himself as a “gay man” in an academic paper published earlier this year. Elmi’s self-described sexual orientation adds to the mounting evidence that his 2009 marriage to Omar was a sham to obtain legal immigration status for her alleged brother. “As a gay man of the East African diaspora, my fieldwork was never neutral,” Elmi, a doctoral researcher at the University of Bristol, wrote in an August 2026 paper titled, “Out in the Field: Notes on Researching Queer Violence in Kenya.” “It was a space shaped...

Federal investigators found evidence during the Obama administration suggesting that Rep. Ilhan Omar's 2009 marriage to a man suspected of being her brother was intended to help him obtain a green card, but the case stalled chiefly because prosecutors concluded the suspected offense fell outside a five-year statute of limitations, according to a new report.The FBI and Department of Homeland Security investigated the marriage in the summer of 2016, current and former officials told The New York Times in a report published Thursday.The officials' account challenges Omar's characterization of the earlier inquiry as having debunked allegations that she married her...

U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar's account of fleeing Somalia's civil war as a child offers a timeline of her early life, family history and eventual resettlement in the United States, including a recollection of how officials recorded relatives' birth dates during the refugee screening process. The Minnesota Democrat's 2020 memoir, This Is What America Looks Like: My Journey From Refugee to Congresswoman, describes a childhood disrupted by fighting in Mogadishu and a journey that took the family through Somalia and Kenya before they were eventually resettled in the United States. Omar has faced a wave of scrutiny from MAGA hard-liners and...

A Chicago man has been put in the slammer for two years for conducting a fake robbery scheme to help noncitizens obtain U-visas, which can be offered to those in the US if they are victims of specific types of crimes. Parth Nayi, 29, of Woodridge, has been sentenced for organizing hundreds of these fraudulent robberies between 2022 and 2024, and was found out after one of them took a turn for the worse, and a "suspect" accidentally shot a store clerk in the abdomen, critically injuring the victim. Nayi recruited people to pose as "victims," would pay the store...

Los Angeles’ top federal prosecutor just laid it out plain. Noncitizens are already voting in California’s midterms, the state has confirmed it will count those ballots, and that will corrupt the election. Bill Essayli, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District, said it after an emergency Sunday hearing that ended without a ruling. The Department of Justice is fighting to sequester roughly 20,000 ballots from people federal investigators have identified as noncitizens. California’s answer, in essence, is that citizenship is irrelevant once the envelopes are open. Mail ballots started processing on Saturday ahead of the November 3 election. Los...
