President Donald Trump has shredded radical Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) amid revelations about a massive $8.4 million fraud scheme in her state of Minnesota.
Eight individuals have been charged in a fraud scheme in Minnesota that allegedly resulted in over $8.4 million in stolen billings.
The case spotlights a growing issue of corruption in Minnesota, often tied to the massive Somali immigrant community.
The eight individuals have been identified as Moktar Hass Aden, Mustafa Dayib Ali, Khalid Ahmed Dayib, Abdifitah Mohamud Mohamed, Christopher Adesoji Falade, Emmanuel Oluwademilade Falade, Asad Ahmed Adow, and Anwar Ahmed Adow.
They are all accused of orchestrating a massive wire fraud scheme targeting the state’s Housing Stabilization Services program.
This program is a Medicaid-funded initiative designed to help poor Americans get stable housing.
This massive fraud scheme caught Trump’s attention.
The president wasted no time in calling out Ilhan Omar, an avowed foe of Trump’s.
Omar has been a prominent figure in national politics, but her home state appears to be a total mess.
Following the news of the charges, Trump took to Truth Social, writing:
“Does Ilhan Omar know these people?
“Are they from her wonderfully managed Home Country of Somalia?”
Continuing, Trump explained:
“Ilhan Omar’s Country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central Government control, persistent Poverty, Hunger, Resurgent Terrorism, Piracy, decades of Civil War, Corruption, and pervasive Violence.
“70% of the population lives in extreme Poverty, and widespread Food Insecurity.”
Trump also pulled no punches in taking a direct shot at Omar over rumors that have swirled about her committing marriage fraud to enter the United States.
“Somalia is consistently ranked among the World’s Most Corrupt Countries, including Bribery, Embezzlement, and a Dysfunctional Government,” Trump wrote.
“All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America!
“P.S. Wasn’t she the one that married her brother in order to gain Citizenship???
“What SCUM we have in our Country, telling us what to do, and how to do it.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter.
“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump isn’t just blustering on Truth Social, however.
This fraud scheme is massive, and Democrats like Omar have allowed their home states to fall into decline while focusing all of their energy on attacking Trump for taking real action to solve serious issues.
Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson stated during a press conference on Thursday that:
“The level of fraud in these programs is staggering.
“Unfortunately, our system of trust but verify no longer works.
“These programs have been abused over and over to the point where fraud has overtaken the legitimate services.”
This isn’t just a one-off; there is a growing system of organized crime around defrauding federal and state welfare services, and its Democrat politicians, who have been looking the other way while this issue festers.
The program was started in 2020, and it was estimated that it would have an annual cost of $2.6 million.
However, the program paid out a total of $302 million in claims over 4.5 years, which has now been confirmed to have been mostly fraud.
Adam Jobes, an agent for the IRS Criminal Investigation, stated:
“The charges filed today represent another big blow to organized program fraud in Minnesota.
“The Minnesota Housing Stabilization Service program was supposed to be a groundbreaking resource to provide stability, assistance, and dignity to seniors and individuals with disabilities.”
Minnesota is another strongly Democrat state that has experienced out-of-control crime and fraud.
It leaves many wondering which well-connected Democrat politicians may have been involved in a fraud scheme this massive.
