The Somali fraud scandal is exploding in Minnesota.
Democrats claim they have no idea what happened.
And Tim Walz was busted paying a convicted Somali fraudster taxpayer money for this terrible reason.
Minnesota Still Cuts Checks To Indicted Criminal
Minnesota is currently paying an indicted fraudster millions of dollars to run assisted living homes — nearly a year after he was indicted for money laundering.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Gandi Yusuf Mohamed — who changed his name to Gandi Abdi Kediye just months before his indictment — is awaiting trial for allegedly laundering $1.1 million in the Feeding Our Future scandal.¹
That's the scheme where Somali nationals billed the government for millions of non-existent meals supposedly served to needy children during the pandemic.
Mohamed received an additional $49 million from other state programs between 2019 and 2024.²
His businesses collected $132,000 just this year — after his indictment.³
One home was purchased using the exact same LLC he's indicted for money laundering, and the state granted his wife a provisional license for another facility seven months after his indictment.⁴
Tim Walz doesn't get to play dumb about this.
Democrats Can't Claim Ignorance Anymore
State Representative Kristin Robbins chairs Minnesota's House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee.
Her tiny committee — with just one researcher using public documents — uncovered what Walz's entire administration supposedly couldn't find.⁵
Mohamed's brother was also part of the Feeding Our Future scheme, and Mohamed himself donated the maximum $2,500 to Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison.⁶
Another operator who used the same real estate broker billed $1.6 million despite a recipient testifying he received zero medical services.⁷
The state cut him off from one program but allowed him to keep billing under another.
One individual runs a mining operation in Africa and operated a Minneapolis restaurant shut down for illegal gambling.
He purchased a four-bedroom house that billed $826,000 last year, claimed it as his primary residence to dodge property taxes while simultaneously claiming a different property for the same break, and operates an adult daycare at the exact same address — double-billing the same house.⁸
You can't miss fraud this obvious unless you're trying to miss it.
The Real Reason Democrats Protected The Fraudsters
Minnesota's Inspector General James Clark admitted the state deliberately operates on blind trust.
"Medicaid is a trust-based system; we don't have the technology or staff to look over everyone's shoulder," Clark told the committee.⁹
The number of adult day care providers exploded by 43% in the last decade while demand only increased 7%.¹⁰
Shireen Gandhi, Minnesota's temporary Department of Human Services commissioner, blamed "a whole host of legislators and providers" pressuring her when asked why the state approved providers for which there's no demand.¹¹
Clark revealed legislators removed the required "needs assessment" before licensing new facilities.¹²
County-by-county data destroyed the Democrat excuse about baby boomers — almost all growth came around Minneapolis, where Somalis are concentrated.¹³
Minnesota Department of Health Commissioner Brooke Cunningham claimed she's "not currently aware of any credible allegations of fraud within the assisted living space" after Robbins presented detailed evidence.¹⁴
"That would imply that they don't have whistleblowers to their own agency, which is false," Robbins said. "And they just opened their own whistleblower tip line."¹⁵
Democrats opposed creating the anti-fraud committee and a government-wide inspector general because they didn't want anyone looking too closely.¹⁶
Robbins explained why Democrats protected the fraudsters.
"One reason the fraud mushroomed is when they raised concerns, they were told to be quiet because they didn't want to be considered Islamophobic," Robbins said.¹⁷
Democrats chose political power in the Somali community over protecting taxpayer money meant for vulnerable Americans.
Some Feeding Our Future defendants sued the Department of Education claiming the investigation was racist, and Democrats buckled.¹⁸
The Trump Administration has frozen all child care payments to Minnesota and deployed FBI Director Kash Patel with additional resources to dismantle what he called "the tip of a very large iceberg."
Five Minnesota Republican legislators are now calling for Walz to resign.
But Walz keeps claiming he's been "working for years to crack down on fraud" while his administration continues writing checks to indicted criminals.
When you're still paying a fraudster after he's been indicted, you're not incompetent — you're complicit.
