The Somali fraud ring that turned money for hungry children into luxury empires... and why Tim Walz and the Democrats looked the other way for an unfathomable reason

Minnesota once prided itself on its Scandinavian-style safety net – high taxes, generous benefits and a shared belief that no child should ever go hungry.

But that image lies in ruins after a billion-dollar fraud spree that siphoned taxpayer money away from the needy and poured it straight into luxury mansions, high-end cars, overseas real estate and designer lifestyles.

What authorities first hoped was a one-off pandemic scam has now been exposed as something far bigger – and far uglier.

Federal prosecutors say that over the past five years, scores of scammers – many operating inside Minnesota’s Somali diaspora – stole more than $1 billion intended for feeding children, helping homeless families and providing autism therapy.

Instead, the money bankrolled G-Wagons, Teslas, Porsches, lakefront homes, Dubai shopping sprees and beachside resorts abroad.

Minnesotans are livid - and scared. Because this wasn’t a small-time hustle – it was a full-scale hijacking of the state’s famously trusting, famously generous social-services machine.

For decades, Minnesota welcomed immigrants, and poured taxes into the public good. The state drew tens of thousands of Somali refugees fleeing civil war. Most built families, careers and political influence.

But investigators say a small number saw something else: an open-tap of easy money.

This should be the end of Tim Walz

But will it be?

Walz, Ellison and Biden's DOE are all proven liars and one judge won't let them off the hook on it.


The Ellison angle
During the second Feeding Our Future trial I requested interviews and submitted written questions regarding the Feeding Our Future fraud to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (posted here) and Attorney General Keith Ellison (posted here). Walz responded with a request that I submit the questions to a second email address. He didn’t respond to any of the questions. Ellison simply ignored the request and the questions. I also noted their nonresponse in my Free Beacon column on the case.

I don’t believe that either Walz or Ellison has agreed to an interview with anyone about the case. Walz has concocted an evolving set of lies to respond to isolated questions. In 2022 Walz blamed Ramsey County District Judge John Guthmann with requiring continued payments to Feeding Our Future after the fraud was suspected or discovered.

In fact, the case before Judge Guthmann involved the Minnesota Department of Education’s suspension of processing applications for new “sites” sponsored by Feeding Our Future. When Feeding Our Future sued the department, the Department of Education had the misfortune of being represented by Keith Ellison and his staff. They turned in a pathetic performance as the case resulted in an agreement by the department to approve or deny the applications rather than sit on them.

When Walz blamed Judge Guthmann for the fiasco, Judge Guthmann issued an unusual public statement on the case in September 2022 after the first 47 federal indictments in the Feeding Our Fraud case were handed up. Judge Guthmann’s statement in its entirety (emphasis in original):
