FBI & ICE Raid Married Somali Judges — 3.25 Tons of Cocaine Seized, $1.5B Fraud Exposed:
In a stunning federal operation that has sent shockwaves through Minnesota's justice system, FBI and ICE agents raided the properties of married Somali judges in Minneapolis, uncovering an astonishing 3.25 tons of cocaine and exposing a $1.5 billion fraud network. The coordinated dawn raids involved over 200 federal agents and marks one of the largest judicial corruption cases in U.S. history.
As investigations unfold, federal forces moved rapidly to secure multiple locations across the Twin Cities, discovering elaborate money laundering operations, cartel connections, and fraudulent schemes spanning years. This report breaks down the explosive details of how two sitting judges allegedly used their positions to facilitate drug trafficking operations linked to the Sinaloa Cartel while simultaneously orchestrating massive financial fraud through community programs. With FBI and ICE coordination alongside DEA intelligence, the operation reveals a sophisticated criminal enterprise that exploited the American justice system. Critics question how such extensive corruption could go undetected for so long, while the presence of ICE raises urgent questions about immigration fraud connections. The seized cocaine alone has an estimated street value of over $180 million, making this one of the largest drug busts in Minnesota history.
