Zero Hedge: Nearly all of the 70 people charged in a massive $250 million fraud case targeting federal child nutrition programs in Minnesota are Somali immigrants, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Between March 2020 and January 2022, they allegedly stole funds meant for feeding children, funneled through a nonprofit called Feeding Our Future. So far, 37 have pleaded guilty, and 7 have been convicted; the rest await trial.
The scam involved fake meal counts, rosters, and invoices submitted to the Minnesota Department of Education. “Feeding Our Future” acted as a sponsor for daycares and other sites, making it easy to file false claims during the COVID-era program expansion.
Minnesota, home to about 100,000 Somali immigrants—mostly in the Twin Cities—has long attracted refugees with “some of America’s most generous welfare and charity programs,” according to journalist Kelly Riddell. She also quoted professor Ahamed Samatar, who said, “Minnesota is exceptional in so many ways but it’s the closest thing in the United States to a true social democratic state.”
The FBI’s Minneapolis office has also dealt with terror-related concerns in the community, which has seen recruitment by ISIS and al-Shabab. more
Send them to live with their Governor.
Did the ‘Big Gal’ (AOC) get her 10% cut?
Ack. Not AOC. Ilhan ‘Omar’
What, me worry?
Now can we get some executions?
And not one single state employee thought it was prudent to visit one of their sites or interview a ‘customer’ or supplier. No oversight, no audits. Just take the money.
Import the third world and get the third world.
As to Waltz and company; “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a sultan. The palace becomes a circus.”
Again, so very glad I left that failed state.
And to think, all I got out of it was as six-week unpaid vacation.
Bid Deal. Nothing said about deportations?
Any US prison is better than Somali, so they must figure they’re still way ahead
Parasites
No! They stole $250 million from the taxpayers.
Deport every damn last one of them back to their turd world shithole of a country Somalia never to be allowed onto US soil ever again under penalty of death.
import *******, get ****** bullshit
“professor Ahamed Samatar”
It’s one thing to steal from US taxpayers. It’s another thing if you are foreign born. You create the racism against you. And don’t give me this bullshit about a few bad apples.
Somalis are Muslims.Cut their hands off and send them home.
No “allegedly” now, two rounds defendants have been convicted, including the ringleader. The fraud is proven.
250 million highest theft so far
One more disaster thanks to 0bama.
I love the smell of burning tires in the morning……it smells like victory!
Minnesotans can thank me now.
Ever notice how the people who Democrats say are too stupid to obtain a government ID are pure geniuses when it comes to stealing other people’s money?
The average Somali has an IQ in the mid-double digits. How stupid was the government official who allowed them to get away with this theft?
