One Agency Tried to Stop the Somali Welfare Fraud as Early as 2020, but Activists Used DEI to Intimidate It Into Silence
At this point, we know — or we think we know, which is an entirely different thing and the reason for this whole article — the basic sketch of the Feeding Our Future scandal, the massive fraud operation which has torn Minnesota and national politics apart.
That brief outline, if I may be so presumptuous, that we all seem to acknowledge: Before and (especially) during COVID, a web of Somali-affiliated nonprofits in the Minneapolis area charged the government to feed families. They were not doing so. Instead, they were pocketing the taxpayer money and using it on all sorts of luxury purchases, in addition to transferring the funds back to Somalia itself.
This was all aided by credulous government apparatchiks which basically rubber-stamped the aid applications until a 2022 whistleblower report initiated an investigation. Dozens of people have been charged and convicted, mostly Somali, and now we’re uncovering even more fraud that seems specific to the Minnesota Somali diasporic community, particularly in the areas of Medicaid and daycare.
