\n

A series of sprawling fraud schemes involving hundreds of millions of dollars stolen from Minnesota<\/a> taxpayers \u2014 from COVID-relief programs to housing and autism services \u2014 has placed the state\u2019s Somali community under a renewed, intense spotlight, raising uncomfortable questions about whether some who found refuge here are robbing their new neighbors blind.<\/p>\n

These swirling fraud cases \u2014 and claims that some ill-gotten gains were diverted to the Somali terrorist organization Al-Shabaab \u2014 have now prompted a House investigation, a Treasury Department probe and mounting political pressure on state leaders, including Democrat Gov. Tim Walz<\/a>, over why Minnesota failed to safeguard taxpayer money.<\/p>\n

The fraud revelations, combined with a string of violent crimes and revived terror concerns involving Somali-linked defendants, have shaken public confidence and raised urgent questions about why Minnesota failed to stop the schemes sooner. The developments have also deepened public unease and revived long-standing questions about assimilation, oversight and public safety in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

INSIDE \u2018LITTLE MOGADISHU\u2019: MINNESOTA\u2019S BELEAGUERED SOMALI COMMUNITY UNDER A CLOUD OF FRAUD AND TRUMP ATTACKS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer told Fox News Digital that the fraud scandal represents “a catastrophic failure of oversight” under Walz and characterized some of the culprits involved as a “Somali criminal enterprise crew.”<\/p>\n

“People can focus on an ethnic group if they want, but the real issue is the lack of leadership and accountability in the state of Minnesota with Tim Walz and his administration. This wasn\u2019t about Somalis; this was about government incompetence and lack of accountability,” Emmer said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We have been trying to sound the alarm on this fraud\u2026 for more than three years.”<\/p>\n

The centerpiece scandal is the Feeding Our Future case, where approximately $300 million intended to feed low-income children during the pandemic was siphoned away in what federal prosecutors describe as the largest pandemic-relief fraud scheme charged in U.S. history. Some of the shell companies and meal sites were operated by Somali Minnesotans, prosecutors say, though the alleged ringleader \u2014 Aimee Bock \u2014 is a White American.<\/p>\n

That sprawling case has now grown to at least 78 defendants, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota.<\/u><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say criminals also bilked millions of dollars from Minnesota\u2019s Housing Stabilization Services program \u2014 which pays for help finding and keeping housing \u2014 as well as the state\u2019s autism-services program by billing for appointments, therapy and casework that never took place.<\/p>\n

Former Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson described the scams as “schemes stacked upon schemes” that drained tens of millions of dollars from Medicaid. At least some of those defendants also have ties to the Somali community.<\/p>\n

“It feels never-ending,” Thompson said<\/a> in September, when announcing that eight people had been charged with defrauding the housing stabilization services program of around $8.4 million in total. “I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away.\u00a0The fraud must be stopped.”<\/p>\n

Thompson said the eight were part of the “first wave” of prosecutions in the case. The fraudsters, in many instances, spent the cash on luxury cars, lavish lifestyles and purchasing property at home and in places like Kenya.<\/p>\n

State Sen. Jordan Rasmusson, the lead Republican on the state Senate’s Human Services Committee, told Fox News Digital he believes the Feeding Our Future scandal grew to historic levels because state leaders were afraid to investigate Somali-run nonprofits and unwilling to confront obvious fraud.<\/p>\n

“Concerns of political correctness halted the Walz administration from doing the investigations they needed to protect Minnesota\u2019s tax dollars,” Rasmusson said.<\/p>\n

He said state DHS dysfunction “from the time that Governor Walz took office” created an environment where criminals were able to exploit human-services programs for years.<\/p>\n

“The administration has been asleep at the wheel,” he said.<\/p>\n

A widely circulated DHS whistleblower account alleged that staff who raised internal fraud concerns were ignored, reassigned or sidelined \u2014 which tracks with Rasmusson\u2019s account.<\/p>\n

Bock, the founder and executive director of Feeding Our Future, and Salim Said, a local restaurant owner, were found guilty of their roles in the scheme, with prosecutors stating that they splashed their cash on luxury homes and cars, as well as their lavish lifestyles.<\/p>\n

They claimed to have served 91 million meals, for which they fraudulently received nearly $250 million in federal funds, according to the U.S. attorney’s office<\/a> in Minnesota. It’s unclear how many Somalis were involved in the scheme, as prosecutors don’t release the nationalities of defendants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One witness reportedly claimed that Said disclosed a gang affiliation and threatened to kill that person if they reported the fraud to authorities, Thompson said<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, five people were also charged with offering a cash bribe to a juror and preparing written arguments for the juror. One argument read<\/a>, “We are immigrants: they don\u2019t respect or care about us.”<\/p>\n

In 2021, when the Minnesota Department of Education grew suspicious and tried to stop the flow of funds, Feeding Our Future sued, alleging racial discrimination. A judge ordered the state to restart reimbursements \u2014 a ruling prosecutors said enabled the scheme to escalate.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit drew political support from Somali-American State Sen. Omar Fateh, who appeared at a community celebration of the ruling and later acknowledged receiving \u2014 and returning \u2014 campaign donations from individuals indicted in the case.<\/p>\n

While investigating the scandal, federal agents discovered that one scammer, Asha Farhan Hassan, had pocketed about $465,000 but was also operating a much larger scheme: defrauding the state\u2019s autism-treatment program of roughly $14 million. Hassan billed Medicaid for fake therapy sessions, used untrained staff and paid parents $300 to $1,500 a month to keep their kids in the program. She sent hundreds of thousands of dollars abroad, including to purchase real estate in Kenya, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

The scale of program growth stunned federal officials. The Housing Stabilization Services program was projected to cost $2.6 million annually but paid out more than $100 million last year. The autism program\u2019s budget jumped from $3 million in 2018 to nearly $400 million in 2023, according to Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.<\/p>\n

The unraveling fraud schemes intensified scrutiny of Walz\u2019s administration, with critics arguing basic safeguards were ignored even as theft ballooned.<\/p>\n

A recent City Journal<\/a> article claimed some stolen welfare money has flowed to Al-Shabaab in Somalia through informal “hawala” networks. That report has intensified scrutiny and stirred old fears, given that about 20 young Somali-Americans left Minnesota in the late 2000s to join the terrorist group, with one, Shirwa Ahmed, becoming the first known American Islamist suicide bomber when he detonated a car bomb in Somalia in October 2008.<\/p>\n

Rasmusson said he was concerned about money ending up with terrorists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Because there\u2019s more than a billion dollars that\u2019s been stolen and a significant portion of those dollars have been directed overseas, there are concerns this money could be either directly or indirectly funding terrorist organizations like al-Shabaab,” Rasmusson told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Former Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek, who testified before Congress about Somali-American radicalization, said Minnesota ignored early warning signs once before.<\/p>\n

“We really got a wake-up call in 2010\u201311,” Stanek said. “Young people were going back to Somalia to participate in terrorist training camps and terrorist actions when they had no clear ties back to their culture. They were born here in the U.S. but felt a need or were radicalized to go back.”<\/p>\n

“Minnesotans had no idea what was even going on until the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force stepped in.”<\/p>\n

He said the threat has declined but not disappeared.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not saying it still doesn\u2019t happen, because I know it does,” he said.<\/p>\n

Last year, Abdisatar Ahmed Hassan, 23, pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to ISIS after twice trying to travel to Somalia.<\/p>\n

For many Minnesotans, the fraud cases are only the latest chapter in a longer pattern of violence and instability tied to small pockets of the Somali community. Public unease has also grown recently in response to a string of recent violent crimes tied to the community in the Twin Cities.<\/p>\n

Somali national Abdimahat Bille Mohamedis, a man with two previous sex crime convictions,<\/u><\/a> was charged this week with kidnapping and raping a woman at a hotel while on probation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In July, Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie, a Somali migrant, was jailed for 12 years for sexually assaulting a child. The case sparked fury when a local mosque gave a character-reference letter praising the pedophile’s “good conduct” and urged leniency.<\/p>\n

During a two-week stretch over the summer, a 15-year-old was killed in a mall shooting, while two high-school graduation ceremonies left a 49-year-old father with a head wound and a 19-year-old man injured. All three incidents involved members of the Somali-American community, according\u00a0to reports,<\/a> while Emmer said the incidents were gang-related.<\/p>\n

In May, Michael Lual Nhial, who had a history of erratic and aggressive behavior, was charged with killing David Chant, a 59-year-old man who used walking sticks to get around and was found beaten to death at a park in Burnsville, a city 15 miles south of downtown Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Stanek said Somali-related violence began surfacing between 2005 and 2010, initially involving first-generation immigrants but later drawing in U.S.-born youth, with most shootings traced back to a small network of repeat offenders \u2014 young men cycling through probation and short jail terms.<\/p>\n

Groups such as the Somali Outlaws and 10th Street Gang were never tightly organized criminal syndicates but loose crews of young men whose crimes stemmed more from personal rivalries than organized criminal enterprises, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Minnesota does not track crime by ethnicity, and violent crime statewide has fallen, but the visibility of Somali suspects in these cases has amplified and revived old narratives about crime within Minnesota\u2019s Somali community.<\/p>\n

DEMOCRAT MAYOR BLASTED FOR VOWING TO MAKE MAJOR CITY \u2018SAFE HAVEN\u2019 FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Rasmusson said Walz has “lost the confidence of Minnesotans and the legislature in his ability to lead,” given the size of the fraud and the administration\u2019s repeated failure to intervene when irregularities were clearly visible.<\/p>\n

He pointed to one glaring example investigators missed.<\/p>\n

“They were claiming to feed 6,000 kids a day, seven days a week, in a community of only 2,500 people,” he said. “And so you don\u2019t need to be an FBI analyst to figure out that there\u2019s probably fraud occurring.”<\/p>\n

But community leaders are pushing back, saying Minnesota\u2019s Somali population is overwhelmingly law-abiding and hardworking \u2014 and that a handful of offenders are being used to smear an entire community. They say the above incidents do not define them and that most Somali immigrants<\/a> in the state are hardworking and deeply patriotic toward the United States.<\/p>\n

Jaylani Hussein, executive director of CAIR\u2013Minnesota, told Fox News Digital that while the crimes are real and serious, he rejects the idea of collective blame for criminal activity. Hussein did not defend the crimes but placed their actions in the broader context of American immigrant history \u2014 drawing parallels to Irish and Italian communities once linked to organized crime.<\/p>\n

“We have a history in this nation of identifying crime and associating it with communities \u2014 whether it\u2019s the Italian mafia or Irish gangs,” Hussein said. “Crime is an individual act. It\u2019s an act of betrayal of our trust. When someone steals money from food at a school, they\u2019re not stealing from anybody else \u2014 they\u2019re stealing from their own community, from children who need it. Especially in the Somali-American community, which is still a poor community.”<\/p>\n

Rasmusson said the failures were so significant that Walz, who intends to run for a third term in 2026, may no longer be able to lead the state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Walz administration has failed and they\u2019ve utterly failed to protect Minnesota taxpayers,” he said. “And I think he\u2019s lost the confidence of Minnesotans and the legislature in his ability to lead as governor of this state.<\/p>\n

“And I think that he should recognize the position that he\u2019s in and that it will be very challenging for him to have the confidence of Minnesotans again.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
