Minnesota Democrats demand reparations from ICE after losing $18 billion to Somali fraud

Tim Walz and Jacob Frey seek federal reimbursement as state faces scrutiny over massive social services fraud reportedly linked to Somali immigrant community

Top Minnesota Democrats are demanding the federal government "pay for what they broke" following weeks of DHS’ immigration enforcement surge — a demand that comes after fraudsters stole as much as $18 billion from taxpayers who funded the state’s social services programs under their watch.

Embattled Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey both made public overtures to the feds for reimbursement for usage of state and city resources and recouping of other alleged damages.

"The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There [is] going to be accountability on the things that happened, but one of the things is the incredible and immense costs that were borne by the people of this state," Walz recently said.

Reparations?  REPARATIONS???????  I think Walz and Frey should get $18B worth of prison time for aiding and abetting the perpetrators!!!!!

Exactly backwards.

This is rewarding the perps instead of extracting justice

When is Minnesota going to pay back US taxpayers for the $18 billion of OUR money that THEY fraudulently gave out?

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
