Vice President J.D. Vance’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud has taken a number of actions to tackle fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the months since its establishment. From Operation Cold SNAP, in which multiple government agencies coordinated to execute warrants on SNAP retailers in Minnesota, to the Office of the Inspector General’s (OIG) probe into millions of allegedly fraudulent payments to dead people in Puerto Rico, and indictments secured by the Department of Justice, the federal government has taken a variety of actions to root out fraud in the food assistance program. “Every day, the Trump...

BREAKING: Minnesota residents Shamso Ahmed Hassan and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf ARRESTED for $21 million Medicaid fraud scheme

🚨🚨 Today - 15 individuals have been indicted for over $90 million in an alleged massive healthcare fraud scheme in Minnesota, after a sweeping FBI investigation with @TheJusticeDept and our Interagency Partners. These charges involve the two LARGEST Medicaid fraud cases ever charged in this district and first-of-their kind charges involving 7 additional Medicaid programs. As alleged, the defendants defrauded Minnesota public healthcare resources for tens of millions, targeting programs such as Housing Stabilization Services, Child Care, Medicaid programs, Individualized Home Supports (IHS), and more. In one case, defendants even developed a scheme worth over $40 million to target the...

And so, the indictments on the fraud front just keep rolling in, and yes, this is what we voted for. In the latest, 15 people have been indicted in a fraud scheme in (where else) Minnesota, that may have seen the alleged perps defraud the American taxpayers to the tune of $90 million. That is, as someone once said, a big freakin' deal.🚨🚨 Today - 15 individuals have been indicted for over $90 million in an alleged massive healthcare fraud scheme in Minnesota, after a sweeping FBI investigation with @TheJusticeDept and our Interagency Partners.These charges involve the two LARGEST Medicaid...

🚨 BREAKING: The mastermind behind the Feeding Our Future fraud scam in Minnesota has just been sentenced to 41.5 YEARS in prison Holy CRAP! Aimee Bock orchestrated the $250 MILLION scam during COVID, billing taxpayers for fake meals for children. She deserves every single day of this sentence! MORE OF THIS! 🔥

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...

A Minnesota state lawmaker is asking a powerful House committee to subpoena US Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into her possible ties to Somali fraudsters who bilked Twin Cities taxpayers out of $250 million. State Rep. Kristin Robbins (R-Maple Grove), who is chairing a fraud oversight investigation in Minnesota’s legislature, wrote to US House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) on Thursday requesting that his panel compel Omar to hand over “her staff’s communications with defendants” implicated in the fraud. “As you may be aware, Rep. Ilhan Omar has documented ties to criminals convicted...

Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes. It's also the home of imbeciles Tim Walz, Amy Klobuchar, Tina Smith and Jacob Frey. It's also home to the largest collection of grifters in the country- the Somali community. It's also home to disturbingly corrupt DA's and judges. And it's home to a very large criminal organization, known the Minnesota democrat party. In Hennepin country DA Mary Moriarity could not find any meaningful charges to bring against the Ostroushko family for its brutal attack on Savanah Hernandez. Ramsey county DA John Choi filed hate crime charges with possibly 5 years in prison...

Abdirashid Ismail Said was the centerpiece of Attorney General Keith X. Ellison’s attempt to pretend that he was also being tough on Somali fraud. Since Said had already been convicted of Medicaid fraud in 2022, he should never have been allowed to bill Medicaid for anything. And once he was charged, he should never have been released on bail. But he was and did and now he’s on the run, and we’re all supposed to pretend that Ellison tried really hard and just couldn’t figure things out. The Minnesota Attorney General announced in December 2023 that Said is responsible for...

This week, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit charged Gertrue Kemunto Mongare with multiple counts of felony theft by false representation. Investigators say Mongare is the owner of B&G Caring Angels LLC, a Medicaid-enrolled home health care agency. She's accused of submitting more than 3,000 claims totaling more than $600,000 over four years. WCCO went to the address listed for the business to ask for comment. No one answered the door, and when we called the unit number, we were hung up on. According to the complaint, investigators found no records of services provided and no background...

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) web of shady family ties goes even deeper than her alleged marriage to her brother — reportedly using her political offices to secure millions of dollars for a Minneapolis health clinic operated by her sister, who is married to a top Somali government official.

The new interim staff report on Minnesota’s fraud describes criminal activity that was enabled by a horrifying pattern of spineless government incompetence and systemic failure. Some say Minnesota is just the tip of the iceberg. Best guess? Government, both state and federal, is rife with it. According to the March 4, 2026 House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform report, “The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota’s Fraud Explosion,” there was a massive failure in “governance and oversight” that allowed “known fraud and criminal schemes to flourish,” even as resources were diverted away from...

The Federal Government is seizing the million dollar home, bank account, cars designer goods and more from one of the Minnesota Somali scammers The Somali named Salim Said stole approximately $7.8 million dollars from taxpayers The government is also seeking 30 years in prison

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar posted on X to suggest that President Donald Trump should be executed. She shared a clip of an interview with Trump on Fox News with the caption "The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them." In the video, Trump was asked about the rampant fraud in the Somali community in Minnesota, which has been the subject of DOJ investigations going back into the Biden administration. Dozens have been arrested and convicted, including primarily...

It's a roughly 6-7 minute video summarizing recent congressional testimony. Republican state representative Kristin Robbins (chair of Minnesota's House Fraud Prevention Committee) testified before a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee about large-scale fraud in Minnesota's public assistance programs, particularly: Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) — fraud dating back to 2011, escalating under Gov. Tim Walz's administration, with millions allegedly funneled as cash to Somalia (some reports linking it to terrorism funding via groups like Al-Shabaab). Feeding Our Future nutrition program scandal — enabled by pandemic-era waivers (including the "Meals Act" tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar in 2020), involving fake meal claims for...

ST. PAUL, MN — Governor Tim Walz has emerged from the den of the Governor's Mansion to declare that there will be six more weeks of rioting and fraud. "We know this is all silly, but it's fun," said handler Marsha Billingsworth. "It's always rioting and fraud season, but the Governor-coming-out-of-the-den tradition is good family fun that brings in some tourism money, which will help offset the costs of all the rioting and fraud in the state." Once a year, Minnesotans cheerfully gather around the mansion to see what the governor will do, depending upon whether or not he sees...

In a startling development, a Minnesota building that was originally a linen factory is allegedly now housing around 400 Medicaid billing businesses. In a social media clip, Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), revealed that these businesses billed approximately $380 million (£278 million) to Medicaid. ‘Behind me is the Griggs Midway building. It looks like a factory because it was a factory. Roughly 400 Medicaid businesses were started in the building behind me over the last several years,’ Oz said while standing alongside acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill outside the building in St. Paul....

Dr Oz, Administrator of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, exposed a linen factory was converted into an office building for 400 likely fake Medicaid businesses in Minneapolis He then confirmed EACH ONE IS BILLING ROUGHLY A MILLION DOLLARS to taxpayers “Roughly each business had $1,000,000 of billing. It's an industrial area” “How is it possible 400 businesses billing almost $400 million were able to thrive here? — Why did no one in the state figure out this was a concern?”

ICE is removing some of the most violent criminals in the World from our Country, and bring them back home, where they belong. Why is Minnesota fighting this? Do they really want murderers and drug dealers to be ensconced in their community? The thugs that are protesting include many highly paid professional agitators and anarchists. Is this really what Minnesota wants? The crooked Governor and “Congresswoman” Omar, who married her brother, don’t mind because it keeps the focus of attention off the 18 Billion Dollar, Plus, FRAUD, that has taken place in the State! Don’t worry, we’re on it!
