Massive fraud by Somali immigrants in Minnesota hands GOP political hammer against liberal programs
Officials say some money siphoned away by Somali immigrants made its way to Kenya and Somalia to the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group Al Shabab.
Federal prosecutors have uncovered multiple fraud schemes involving Somali immigrants in Minnesota that have siphoned billions in taxpayer money from food, welfare and autism safety net programs and even routed some to overseas terrorists.
The scandal uncovered by Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson in Minneapolis has handed Republicans a political cudgel heading into the 2026 election to bash liberals like Gov. Tim Walz for creating a welfare state with little or no safeguards and now countless victims of fraud.
The dragnet has already resulted in 77 indictments for fraud against a food welfare program called Feeding our Future as well as a medical professional who prosecutors alleged falsely diagnosed Somali children to steal $14 million from a federal autism assistance program.
“These are things that, if well used, this is a good way to help our help our families and our friends, kind of with that hand up to continue to climb the American Dream ladder, but it was completely squandered, completely mismanagement, the Democrats, you know, were a complete failure,” Rep. Brad Finstad, R-Minn., told Just the News this week.
“And quite frankly, you almost wonder if they're just compliant in this, and they knew what was going on. How do they sit back with a blind eye to this is beyond negligence, it is criminal,” he added.
Federal authorities say the fraud across multiple programs in Minnesota alone now totals in the billions of dollars and continues to grow. And last week officials told Congress that some of the money siphoned away by Somali immigrants made its way to Kenya and Somalia to the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group Al Shabab.
“You look at the money, you look at the people that have been arrested and put in jail, and we're tracking this money back to Kenya, to Somalia, and quite frankly, it could be Al Shabab,” Finstad said.
The scale of fraud inside the Somali community in Minnesota is so large that it is now commanding attention by national figures, including House Speaker Mike Johnson.
“Millions in stolen Minnesota welfare dollars have been funneled to Al-Shabaab — an ISIS-aligned TERROR group?” Johnson wrote on X this weekend. “This happened because Democrats built a system so loose, so corrupt, and so politically timid that fraudsters exploited it.”
President Donald Trump also weighed in on Saturday, revoking a special temporary protective status for Somalis in Minnesota and decrying the level of fraud the community has caused in Minnesota.

"Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota," he announced in Truth Social.
"Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!" he added.
On Thursday, the 77th defendant in the food welfare program scheme was indicted, and his case gives a sense of how systemic and organize the fraud schemes have been.
Federal prosecutors said Ousman Camara, 45, was indicted on nine charges alleging fraud, federal programs bribery, and money laundering.
Camara was the owner of K’s Dollar Grocery and Deli, a small storefront grocery store in north Minneapolis. In August 2015, the Agriculture Department disqualified Camara and his store from food stamps due to suspected fraud.
In September 2020, prosecutors alleged, Camara enrolled K’s Grocery in the Federal Child Nutrition Program under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future. In 2020 and 2021, Camara fraudulently claimed to be serving meals to 1,000 children a day, seven days a week, at his site when he wasn’t.
In all, Camara claimed to have served more than 300,000 meals to children, for which he claimed to be entitled to more than $1 million in Federal Child Nutrition Program reimbursement, authorities said.
Camara did not use these funds to purchase food to feed children. Instead, he used the money to fund his lifestyle, pay his credit card bills, and buy a building in north Minneapolis and also sent some of that money overseas, prosecutors alleged.
Republicans across the country are signaling they intend to use the fraud in Minnesota to run against the far left's open borders, welfare m-driven policies
“This story is a perfect storm of progressive governance: non-existent immigration vetting, massive welfare and benefits fraud, and American tax dollars going to people who want us dead,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said.

Ambush of National Guard near White House tied to bungled Biden vetting of Afghans
The ambush shooting that critically wounded two National Guard troops patrolling near the White House confirmed the worst fears about President Joe Biden‘s decision to lightly vet Afghan refugees he let into the country after his bungled withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan four years ago.
The Homeland Security Department confirmed late Wednesday that the man suspected of shooting the two West Virginia National Guardsmen was a 29-year-old Afghan national named Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the United States in 2021 under a controversial Biden-era visa parole program called Operation Allies Welcome after working with U.S. agencies during the war, including the CIA.
The program was widely criticized by members of Congress for allowing as many as 85,000 Afghans to come into the country quickly without complete vetting, and officials said Lakanwal was among those to enter during that timeframe.
“The suspect who shot our brave National Guardsmen is an Afghan national who was one of the many unvetted, mass paroled into the United States under Operation Allies Welcome on September 8, 2021, under the Biden Administration,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said.
Just hours after the attack, the Trump administration on Wednesday night paused all immigration processing for Afghan nationals.
"Processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols," the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced.
“The protection and safety of our homeland and of the American people remains our singular focus and mission,” the agency added.
President Donald Trump condemned the shooting and blamed his predecessor Joe Biden.
"We must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden, and we must take all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country," the president said.
The Biden administration claimed that they vetted 99% of all the Afghan evacuees into the United States, but a Homeland Security Department inspector general report in 2022 directly debunked that claim, and warned the process was flawed, incomplete and had injected security risk into the United States.
"We determined some information used to vet evacuees through U.S. Government databases, such as name, date of birth, identification number, and travel document data, was inaccurate, incomplete, or missing," the devastating report declared. "We also determined CBP admitted or paroled evacuees who were not fully vetted into the United States."

Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., one of the earliest lawmakers to raise concerns about Biden‘s weak vetting of Afghan nationals after the bungled withdrawal of American troops in August 2021, called for the immediate deportation of any Afghan national still in the country who could not pass security vetting now.
“The Trump Administration should deport any and all Afghan nationals found without legal status. Likewise, refugees with legal status, but who fail to pass vetting standards, should have their status revoked and be deported,” Banks said.
A relative of the alleged shooter told NBC News that they both served alongside the U.S. Army during the Afghanistan war.
“We were the ones that were targeted by the Taliban in Afghanistan,” the relative told NBC.
“I cannot believe it that he might do this,” the relative added.
The alleged gunman also worked with a CIA-backed paramilitary unit during the U.S. war in Afghanistan, Director John Ratcliffe revealed Thursday.
Just days before the tragic incident in Washington on Wednesday, USCIS began a systemic review of all refugees let into the country by the Biden administration on the grounds that there was not adequate vetting.
"USCIS has determined that a comprehensive review and a re-interview of all refugees admitted from January 20, 2021, to February 20, 2025, is warranted," a memo first reported by Reuters said. "When appropriate, USCIS will also review and re-interview refugees admitted outside this timeframe."

'Defining Moment:' How Trump broke down walls to get Ukraine and Russia to a peace framework
To get to peace, warring countries need to know what the other wants, expects and will resist. For the first 11 years of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and three U.S. presidencies, neither side arrived at such granular detail as they traded barbs, bombs and propaganda.
But that all changed Wednesday after a whirlwind week of shuttle diplomacy by President Donald Trump and his team.
This week for the first time, Kiev and Moscow articulated specific visions for a peace deal. And while they remain apart on big issues like land borders and NATO membership, the two sides have a meaningful framework that eluded past negotiations and presidents.
"I think it's a defining moment, and actually ratchets up the heat on both sides now to come to the table, now that they've basically put their cards on the table," Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., a co-founder of the War Powers Caucus in Congress, told the Just the the News, No Noise television show Wednesday evening.
He added: "If you've ever negotiated anything, and virtually everybody has, if you don't understand what you want and what the other side wants, you can never get to yes. It's always going to be a no. And so to see that, that now both sides have defined their interests and their goals, it allows President Trump to come in and set additional parameters time wise."
For those who know Trump, the relentless effort to get Ukraine and Russia to brush aside past failures and focus on the details is ripped right from his trademark book "The Art of the Deal."
"After this very strong first ten months in office, he [Trump] is seen as a credible broker by each side. They may not like him, but they respect him, and that's the important thing in this sort of process," former Deputy National Security Adviser Victoria Coates told Just The News on Wednesday.
Even the legacy media often the critics of Trump policy marveled at the breakthrough.
“The level of optimism projected by both the U.S. and Ukraine is staggering," Axios crowed hours after Ukraine agreed to its version of the framework.
Still, much difficult work remains, and all sides are realistic. But Trump willed the United States to this point by flashing a willingness to consider any idea that would jumpstart fresh talks.
His administration originally crafted a 28-point deal that has since been streamlined to 19 points, designed to bring the nearly four-year Russia-Ukraine war and 11-year conflict to an end. Crafted with contributions from key U.S. negotiators such as Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the framework incorporates both concessions and benefits tailored to the interests of both Ukraine and Russia within the agreement.
The framework establishes reciprocal commitments, including Ukraine’s potential acknowledgment of Russian authority over certain Donbas territories (such as Donetsk), the removal of Western sanctions on Russia, a bilateral U.S.-Russia agreement for joint Arctic resource development, and the reallocation of approximately $100 billion in seized Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s postwar rebuilding.

In exchange, it offers Kyiv robust security assurances—among them U.S. financial backing for defense needs and automatic reimposition of sanctions in the event of future Russian aggression—along with a general amnesty covering actions during the conflict. Separately, European partners have put forward their own additions, such as NATO-like security pledges and the possible deployment of European troops, though these remain outside the main U.S.-drafted plan.
On Tuesday, Ukraine agreed to core terms of the refined 19-point peace framework, according to multiple U.S. officials, Ukraine's National Security Adviser Rustem Umerov, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This follows intensive U.S.-Ukraine talks in Geneva over the weekend, where revisions were made to address Kyiv's concerns, such as stronger security guarantees and fewer restrictions on Ukraine's military. Zelenskyy described the plan as now capturing the "essence" of a viable agreement and expressed readiness to discuss remaining "disputed points" directly with President Trump, potentially during a U.S. visit in the coming days. Umerov highlighted optimism for finalization soon, noting that only "minor details" like enforcement mechanisms and asset reallocations remain outstanding.
Confirming the agreement on social media, Umerov posted on X: "We appreciate the productive and constructive meetings held in Geneva between the Ukrainian and U.S. delegations, as well as President Trump’s steadfast efforts to end the war.
"Our delegations reached a common understanding on the core terms of the agreement discussed in Geneva. We now count on the support of our European partners in our further steps. We look forward to organizing a visit of Ukraine’s President to the U.S. at the earliest suitable date in November to complete final steps and make a deal with President Trump."
Moscow has yet to endorse the updated proposal. In Abu Dhabi, preliminary discussions, overseen by U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll alongside Russian envoys, centered on updating the Kremlin about the modifications endorsed by Kyiv, though officials in the Russian capital have offered no official reply or signs of approval.
Putin has long advocated for the initial 28-point outline, which tilted more toward Moscow's preferences, such as enhanced NATO-style protections for Ukraine. The Kremlin has indicated it will hold off on statements until receiving official documentation from Washington.
Regardless, Trump remains upbeat, sharing on Truth Social that just "a few remaining points of disagreement" linger, while instructing special envoy Steve Witkoff to confer with Putin shortly. However, he made clear he won't convene with Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin until the accord is "FINAL, or in its final stages."
Coates explained that both sides have an interest in the conflict ending soon. For Ukraine, "Zelenskyy has an increasingly intrusive corruption scandal that's reached his office, and there are some who think he may be implicated in it as well.
Coates is referencing a $100 million energy scandal in which anti-corruption investigators are accusing Zelenskyy’s close associates, including ex-business partner Timur Mindich, of skimming 10-15% kickbacks from Energoatom (Ukraine's state energy company) to protect nuclear plants from Russian attacks, sparking resignations and public outrage.
"That's really going to erode his political base in Ukraine, because this goes to supplying electricity to Ukrainians during the winter, and that a lot of people who were working with the electricity companies were skimming, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. And so if you are very cold in your apartment and you're not getting electricity, and you hear that the high ups in the government have basically been collecting a bounty on your unhappiness, that's a problem."
Coates also spoke about the Russian incentive to end the war and said, "Putin, on the other hand, has some economic pressures. They're running out of foreign currency reserves. There are energy shortages. You have Russians waiting in line for gasoline, and they don't like to do that. They're not used to doing that. And we're four years into this war."

Netanyahu lauds Trump ‘decision’ to list Muslim Brotherhood as terror org
The U.S. president is reportedly considering designating the group as a foreign terrorist organization.
(Nov. 23, 2025 / JNS)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday that he praised U.S. President Donald Trump for “his decision to outlaw and designate the Muslim Brotherhood organization as a terrorist organization.”
“This is an organization that endangers stability throughout the Middle East and beyond the Middle East as well,” Netanyahu said. “Therefore, the State of Israel has already outlawed part of the organization, and we are working to complete this action soon.”
Trump has not mentioned a decision to designate the Muslim Brotherhood on social media. Just the News reported that Trump told the publication “on Sunday morning that he will designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, striking a blow against a group long blamed for destabilizing the Middle East and radicalizing young Muslims.”
“It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms,” Trump reportedly told the publication. “Final documents are being drawn.”
“Thank you, President Trump, for designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. This move is vital—the Brotherhood is not just a political group, but a transnational ideological network that radicalizes youth, spreads extremist doctrine through mosques and media, particularly Al Jazeera, and undermines democratic values,” Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel told JNS on Monday.
“Several other nation states like the UAE and Jordan have already recognized the threat and banned the Muslim Brotherhood,” she continued.
“It’s time for many other nations to follow because if we don’t stop this ideology now, it will only grow stronger and more dangerous in the years ahead,” she added.
Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, stated that Trump had made “the right call regarding terror groups.”
Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) stated that Trump’s decision is “tremendous news.”
“We will use this to destroy Muslim terror affiliates like the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Students for Justice in Palestine,” he said. “So grateful to the president.”
When he designated the Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations last week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott stated that both “have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world.'”
“The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation and harassment are unacceptable,” the Texas governor added. “These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.”
