Washington Governor Bob Ferguson (D) stated Monday that the state government aims to “partner” with the anti-ICE groups illegally tracking and hounding federal law enforcement agents. The governor expressed support for the anti-ICE insurgency in his state just one day before the FBI launched an investigation into the Signal chat groups organizing the the anti-ICE insurgency in Minnesota. Ferguson held a press conference alongside Washington’s Attorney General Nick Brown (D.) to condemn ICE after two agitators in Minnesota were fatally shot by federal agents. Brown was widely criticized last month after he warned independent journalists to stop investigating alleged fraudulent...

A police officer shot a 16-year-old boy when he refused to drop the broomstick he was holding in Salt Lake City last night. The officer was responding to an unrelated call in the Utah capital at 8.15pm when his team spotted two teenagers arguing with a man, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. Surrounding them, police allegedly told the boy to drop what he was holding - part of a broomstick. When he did not, 'shots were fired'. The boy was hit in the chest and the stomach.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is facing new scrutiny over a 2021 audio recording of him meeting with members of the Somali community who would soon be convicted of defrauding millions of dollars in taxpayer money. In the recording, now obtained by Fox News, the would-be fraudsters can be heard asking Ellison to help them secure more funding, before the conversation then turns to campaign donations. "The only way that we can protect what we have is by inserting ourselves into the political arena. Putting our votes where it needs to be. But most importantly, putting our dollars in the...

A reporter for NewsNation traveled to the state of Maine and uncovered more possible fraud. He highlighted one particular building that is supposedly home to ten Somali-owned home healthcare companies, yet when he interviewed the landlord, he said that there is never anyone there. He then interviews a local newspaper reporter who points out various locations that are also supposedly home healthcare companies, which just so happen to be next door to businesses that can wire money to Somalia. This is all so shady. From NewsNation: Maine building houses 10 health care firms; landlord rarely sees anyone Office buildings across...

Donald Trump has ordered ICE agents to begin rounding up Somali migrants in Maine as part of the administration's latest immigration crackdown. Federal agents are sweeping through the state's two largest cities, Portland and Lewiston, as the Department of Homeland Security announced 'Operation Catch of the Day' on Wednesday. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin announced that agents had arrested multiple individuals on the first day of the operation. Local officials in Maine's two biggest cities are warning residents that ICE will begin ramping up its enforcement operations in the next few days. Meanwhile, the US attorney’s office in Maine warned...

A Somali pirate from Minnesota has been sentenced to federal prison for his role in holding an American journalist hostage for nearly three years. What we know In a press release on Tuesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Abdi Yusuf Hassan, of Minneapolis, and Mohamed Tahlil Mohamed, of Somalia, received a 30-year prison sentence for hostage taking, terrorism and firearm offenses related to the 977-day captivity of American freelance journalist Michael Scott Moore. Officials said Hassan and Mohamed played "significant roles in Moore’s captivity" and abused their positions within the Somali government. Hassan served as the Minister of Interior...

An Islamist radical recruited to Somalia from Minneapolis inspired the would-be “Texas Terror” killers, who were gunned down in Garland, Texas Sunday night by a sharp-shooting law enforcement officer before they could carry out their mass-murder plot at an art exhibit sponsored by First Amendment heroine Pamela Geller. It’s just the latest example of how and why Minneapolis—and specifically the congressional district of Muslim Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) —has become ground zero for the threat to the United States from Islamist terror groups such as ISIS and Al-Shabaab. ... The terrorist threat emanates from the Minneapolis neighborhood known as...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rows of businesses stood shuttered inside a sprawling complex of Somali businesses on a recent afternoon. Karmel Mall in south Minneapolis contains more than a hundred small businesses in suites offering everything from clothing and food to insurance and accounting services. But many sellers sat alone in their clothing stores, waiting for the occasional customer to walk by. Everyone is afraid of federal immigration agents, business owners said. Sellers and customers, citizens and noncitizens. Some don’t bother opening shop because they aren’t expecting any customers. “It’s been like this for three weeks now,” said Abdi Wahid, who...

Stephen Miller, a top White House official, said Tuesday evening that federal law enforcement now has the resources to protect its officers and begin the work of “identifying, disrupting and dismantling the insurgent networks” hampering Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota. Miller’s message came after President Trump released a statement on Truth Social earlier Tuesday, saying: “FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a large-scale deployment of federal agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul in early January 2026, deploying approximately 2,000 federal agents from...

In the heart of Minneapolis, where progressive politics often masks a labyrinth of insider dealings and questionable alliances, a scandal of epic proportions has been simmering for years. The Feeding Our Future fraud case, widely regarded as one of the largest COVID-era scams in U.S. history, siphoned off an astonishing $250 million in federal funds meant to feed hungry children. Instead, the money lined the pockets of fraudsters, funding luxury cars, lavish homes, and overseas wire transfers. But as new revelations emerge, the spotlight turns to none other than Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, whose personal and professional connections raise serious...

Jaylani Hussein, the Somali leader of Islamist group CAIR Minnesota, told a far-left crowd that they didn't accomplish what they needed to after George Floyd's death. "We have a second chance...by any means necessary." Video by @YaakovStras:

Two powerful committee chairmen in Congress are moving quickly to investigate why Somali immigrant couriers were moving hundreds of millions of dollars out of U.S. airports in their luggage to overseas destinations the last few years, and whether there is any connection to a massive fraud scheme in Minnesota or terror groups in their native country in Africa. “We're going to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of this […] and it will mean subpoenaing these things,” Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., told Just the News in an interview Thursday. He also revealed that...

Minnesota wasn’t an accident and Maine proves it. From Medicaid fraud to no-bid contracts, whistleblowers are exposing the same playbook being used across multiple states.

Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy, jr. announced a reversal of a Biden Administration rule that required federal agencies "to pay daycare providers in advance based on child enrollment. We have seen that the key result of the Biden policy was to enable widespread fraud. Our new rule requires that payments only be provided for verified attendance." Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn) called this change "mistaken. The previous policies enabled penniless Somali refugees to establish highly profitable businesses by submitting the names of prospective attendees. Many parents enrolled their children in more than one...

The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalians in the United States. TPS allows individuals from a country where war or other forms of unrest are taking place to remain in the United States when they would not be eligible to be admitted through other immigration programs. The Department of Homeland Security said TPS for the group ends March 17. “Temporary means temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said, according to Fox News. “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.” Fox noted that Somalis have...

The U.S. government is revoking the legal status of several thousand immigrants from Somalia, raising the specter of deportation for a community often assailed by President Trump. A Department of Homeland Security official said the Trump administration had decided to terminate Somalia's Temporary Protected Status program, which allows beneficiaries to live and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation. Nationals of Somalia enrolled in the TPS program are now set to lose their legal status and work permits on March 17. The DHS official said roughly 2,500 Somali immigrants with TPS are expected to be affected by the termination....

She was from Colorado, not Minnesota. She was also a mother. WAS. She left her kids to protest ICE. Was she was a paid protestor? Needless to say, Liberals are plenty upset and protesting. Meanwhile, conservatives and many others stand with the ICE agent.

President Trump is taking decisive against the egregious fraud being committed against American taxpayers, and @USTreasury is following the money. We took on the mafia. We took on the cartels. Now, we are cracking down on Somali fraud networks and money being wired out of our country. We are opening investigations and putting an end to illicit activities in order to defend taxpayers and put America First.

In this video I discuss the election of an alleged Somali criminal & fraudster Iman Osman to the Lewiston City Council despite some pretty obvious red flags This Somali cheerfully stole money supposed to be for the victims of the mass shooting in Maine,
