It’s pretty clear, based on the evidence and convictions, that the Somalis stole it.
Now, will anyone do anything about it?
At a legislative fraud committee hearing Monday morning, Republican state Rep. Kristin Robbins of Minnesota, a GOP gubernatorial hopeful, helped keep the troubling issue of Somali fraud in the news when she cited evidence that nearly a billion dollars in cash had left Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in passengers’ luggage in recent years, including $350 million in 2025 alone.
“We hear all these reports of money leaving the airport,” Robbins said in a clip posted to the social media platform X. “Why doesn’t the state stop this?”
Why, indeed? After all, no other airport has seen that amount of cash passing through in luggage.
