ICE Director Says Sanctuary Cities Fueled Minnesota’s Fraud Crisis

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Toddy Lyons asserted that Minnesota’s so-called sanctuary state laws are in part to blame for the rampant fraud being exposed in the state. He argued that those laws, ensure that fraudsters, as well as illegal immigrants, have safe havens to abuse the American taxpayers.

“There’s always a tie when it comes to sanctuary jurisdictions, where you can hide in plain sight. You see a lot of these fraudsters use a lot of sanctuary rules and sanctuary protections to enact in criminal fraud just like this,” Lyons said.

We’ve been on the ground for so long looking into these states that are conducting these type of material fraud, and when Homeland Security Investigations goes into these businesses, there is criminal activity when it comes to labor trafficking, child trafficking, human exploitation and that’s what we’re looking at up there in Minnesota. And you’ll always come back to these sanctuary jurisdictions where you’ll find them hiding in plain sight and using those sanctuary protections to employ not only illegal aliens, but to conduct criminal fraud just like you’re seeing right now.

Mortifying moment anti-Trump Minnesota mom suddenly cuts speech short after admitting ‘fraud is bad’

A Minnesota mother who spoke out Wednesday against the Trump administration’s freezing of child care funding abruptly cut her remarks short after admitting that “fraud is bad.”

Deko Nor, a medical student whose four-year-old attends a daycare center outside Minneapolis, told reporters at a New Year’s Eve press conference that her child would be one of more than 20,000 losing access to the facilities without federal help.

“I rely on child care. I work. If child care is cut, I am unable to work or go to school,” she said, before beginning her next sentence by declaring: “I understand fraud is bad—”

Nor immediately looked down at the text of her speech, shook her head in disbelief and placed her right hand to her mouth while inhaling sharply.

She then looked up, apparently flustered, and told the other attendees at the news conference: “I don’t think I can speak.”

‘Fraudian’ Slip?? Two Women React Strangely When They Mention “Fraud” at Minnesota Rally – One Goes “Off Script” and Gets Brutally Honest

The Somali fraud stories are emerging across the country.  From its origin in Minnesota, new claims have emerged in Ohio, Maine, Massachusetts, and Washington.

Yesterday, in Minnesota, state legislators and daycare providers held a press conference to speak out after the Trump administration announced that Health and Human Services (HHS) would be suspending the program until an investigation into the fraud claims was completed.

The press conference began with an opening statement from a childcare center director named Amanda Schillinger, who claims that many in her community are afraid to come forward because they’re being targeted and that she really doesn’t want to be there.

“So lets be honest about how we got here.  “Our President decided he doesn’t like the Somali community and he wants to destroy them,” she said.  “Speaker Demuth and the GOP caucus sent a YouTuber out to create the narrative they want out there.  Not the truth.”

She continued by saying that “Minnesota does investigate suspected fraud in childcare and hold people accountable.  And they will continue to do so because fraud is never acceptable.  But cutting off childcare funding to everyone in the state is not the answer and its not acceptable.”

She claims that 75 percent of the children in “our program” qualify through the state for childcare funding.

Next to speak was a woman that said she is a mother, medical student, and benefactor of childcare funding spoke at the event.  She began her speech, seemingly reading from her phone, by acknowledging that she’s “not much of a good speaker” but would try her best.

Nervously reading from her cell phone, she stated that 20,000 kids will be unable to attend daycare as they and their parents depend on this funding.

But when the script prompted her to say, “I understand: fraud is bad,” she covered her mouth in shock, seemingly concerned for what she had just said, and backed out of her speech.

Minnesota: Police Dispute Somali-Run Day Care Claiming ‘Important Documents’ Were Stolen

Police in Minneapolis have disputed a Somali-run daycare center’s claim that “important documents” disproving fraudulent activity were stolen.

The Nokomis DayCare Center claimed that a burglar broke into the building through the kitchen in the rear of the facility on Tuesday, rummaging through the main office and stealing documents pertaining to its operations, but police say that no report was filed, per the New York Post:

Nasrulah Mohamed, manager of Nakomis Day Care Center, told reporters that a suspect entered through the kitchen at the rear of the facility, damaging a wall and breaking into the building’s office, sometime on Tuesday. He said the alleged prowler stole “important documentation” including children’s enrollment information, employee documentation and checkbooks.

However “no loss was reported to officers,” according to a preliminary report by the Minneapolis Police Department. MPD noted that the center later reached out with additional information, but the updated police report was not immediately available.

The Nokomis DayCare Center provided video of a hole in the wall in what may have been a utility closet.

NewsNation Reporter Finds “Assisted Living” Facility Funded by Americans Is Just a Single-Family Home — Owner Indicted in Feeding Our Future Still Raking in $49M from Minnesota

Minnesota’s sprawling welfare-industrial complex is once again under the microscope after a stunning investigation by NewsNation revealed that so-called “assisted living” facilities funded with millions in taxpayer dollars are, in reality, nothing more than ordinary single-family homes.

According to reporting from Rich McHugh of NewsNation, Minnesota continues to shovel millions of Medicaid dollars to properties owned by a man already indicted in the state’s massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, despite overwhelming red flags and a growing list of exploited public programs.

The properties are owned by Gandi Mohamed, also known as Gandi Abdi Kediye, who was indicted in February 2024 on money laundering charges tied to the Feeding Our Future case. Prosecutors allege Mohamed helped launder approximately $1 million in fraudulent funds.

According to the DOJ:

Gandi Yusuf Mohamed, 43, Ikram Mohamed’s brother, was the owner of GAK Properties LLC and GIF Properties LLC, companies used to receive and launder the proceeds of the fraud scheme. Gandi Mohamed also submitted fraudulent meal counts and claims on behalf of his family’s companies. As alleged, between March 2021 and July 2022, Gandi Mohamed fraudulently received and laundered more than $1.1 million in Federal Child Nutrition Program funds. Gandi Mohamed is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and money laundering.

Yet while awaiting trial, Mohamed’s limited liability company continues to benefit handsomely from the state.

His wife reportedly operates multiple “assisted living” facilities out of residential homes in the Minneapolis area.

Those facilities alone received more than $2.3 million in state payments last year.

Even more staggering: since 2016, Mohamed has been paid $49 million by the state’s Minnesota Department of Human Services, according to the Minnesota Reformer.

NewsNation visited three of the locations tied to Mohamed’s LLC. Each one appeared to be a standard single-family residence—not a medical or assisted living facility.

Staff at the homes claimed ignorance of Mohamed’s indictment and declined to explain how such operations qualified for massive Medicaid reimbursements.

Minnesota DHS Used DEI Hiring Policies in Offices Responsible for Fraud Oversight

In the latest episode of The Patriot Perspective, host Gregory Lyakhov examined what may be one of the most staggering government failures in modern American history: more than $9 billion in fraud tied to Minnesota’s public programs, much of it involving networks operating within the state’s Somali community. 

The number alone is shocking. 

Yet what matters more than assigning vague political blame is understanding how such an enormous collapse occurred—and why it was entirely predictable.

One point must be made clearly at the outset. Whether Minnesota’s governor or individual politicians were directly complicit remains unclear. 

Proving intent or personal involvement requires evidence that investigators are still uncovering. But the absence of proven complicity does not mean the absence of responsibility. 

What is clear is that Minnesota built a system structurally incapable of preventing fraud, and that system was shaped by aggressive DEI hiring and governance policies.

For years, Minnesota’s Health and Human Services division—the very agency responsible for detecting and preventing fraud—prioritized DEI “health equity” and hiring initiatives over core oversight functions. 

Entire offices were reshaped around racial and identity-based frameworks rather than technical competence, auditing experience, or enforcement capacity. 

The result was not inclusion; it was institutional blindness.

Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown Appears to Threaten Journalists for Investigating Somali Fraud

As allegations of fraud in the form of Somali daycare centers is exploding, now across the country and not just in Minnesota, people on the left are rushing to defend the fraudsters.

In Washington State, Attorney General Nick Brown, put out a statement on Twitter/X that sounds like a threat to any independent journalists who might look into it.

Brown wrote:

My office has received outreach from members of the Somali community after reports of home-based daycare providers being harassed and accused of fraud with little to no fact-checking.

We are in touch with the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families regarding the claims being pushed online and the harassment reported by daycare providers.

Showing up on someone’s porch, threatening, or harassing them isn’t an investigation. Neither is filming minors who may be in the home. This is unsafe and potentially dangerous behavior. I encourage anyone experiencing threats or harassment to either contact local law enforcement or our office’s Hate Crimes & Bias Incident Hotline at 1-855-225-1010 or http://atg.wa.gov/report-hate.

If you think fraud is happening, there are appropriate measures to report and investigate. Go to DCYF’s website to learn more. And where fraud is substantiated and verified by law enforcement and regulatory agencies, people should be held accountable.

Unhinged Minneapolis Police Chief Apologizes to Somalis After They Were Caught in Multi-Billion Dollar Health Care and Child Care Scam

This may explain why the Somali population in Minnesota believe they can steal several billion from taxpayers for fake childcare and adult care assistance.

A month ago, Minneapolis Police Chief O’Hara apologized to the Somali community after the billion dollar fraud was discovered.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara:  The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and has shown love towards me and I appreciate it. Over the last three years we have been working together to try and address some of the real serious problems that we have in our community. We have to be honest at times with the problems that we’re having in our community and we need our community to help us fix those problems together because it’s real and it’s serious. At the same time, if people have taken anything that I have said out of context in a way that’s caused harm, I apologize and I’m sorry for that because that’s not my intention at all.

Later in December, Police Chief O’Hara invoked the Nativity story to attack the Trump Administration’s immigration raids.

O’Hara used his leftist background to defend the illegal aliens.

Chief O’Hara:

“It’s especially personal to me, having been raised a Catholic, to be in a Christian church this morning as we are approaching Christmas,” O’Hara said. “And, I cannot help but think of what is happening in our city today, and how that echoes with how outsiders have been treated for thousands of years. How Mary and Joseph themselves were considered outsiders and forced to stay in a barn.”

Meanwhile, the local Somalis stole up to $8 billion in their historic looting spree.

Chief O’Hara has yet to apologize for that!

Who Is Helping Low IQ Migrants Defraud American Taxpayers?

I’ve been writing about the inherent fraud behind third-world immigration for many years now, including the rarely addressed issue of remittances flowing from migrants in the US back to their countries of origin. Third worlders tend to act like a nest of vampires, bleeding the US and giving indirect sustenance to their failing home economies. This process is heavily enabled by foreign governments that rely on this river of dollars to stay afloat.  This is why political leaders in countries like Mexico and India lobby so hard to keep US borders open. They need that cash.

One problem I have consistently seen with mainstream coverage of this issue is that it often overlooks the fact that migrants who steal from American taxpayers almost always have help from people within our government.

To be sure, most Americans understand that the Biden Administration, for example, widely supported open borders and the mass invasion of foreigners. What they might not understand (until recently) is how deeply blue states and blue city governments have been involved in the scams. Minnesota is a prime test case.

The question needs to be asked: Who taught these third world migrants how to set up false business fronts to defraud taxpayer subsidies? Who has been hiding their blatantly illegal activities? How have they been getting away with the scam for so long despite incidents of high level whistleblowers calling out their criminality?

I often hear the argument (largely from migrants and leftists) that because these people are so clever in their racketeering they deserve to stay in the US. In other words, why would we want to kick out hundreds of thousand of people who are “so resourceful.”

First I would point out that it’s a common misconception that conmen are highly intelligent. You don’t have to be a polymath to rip innocent people off, you just have to be evil. Evil is often mistaken for genius because high trust societies have a hard time comprehending predatory behavior. They don’t catch it because they don’t expect it. Midwestern states like Minnesota used to be high trust, but that is quickly changing.

That said, a fraudster would at least need to have a comprehensive understanding of the system he intends to scam, not to mention the basic intelligence needed to enact the scam.  

The majority of migrants from countries like Somalia are generally low IQ – They are not very smart, which means the only explanation for their success in fraud so far is that they have help from the very system they are defrauding.

This is not hyperbole meant to insult Somalis, it’s simply a statistical fact. Somalia has one of the lowest IQ populations in the world, with the average IQ of Somali refugees and migrants sitting at 67. The country also flounders near the bottom of every list of average IQ measurements among hundreds of nations.

To put this in perspective, the average IQ score of the US population is 100, along with around 34% of the global population. Less than 9% of the global populace has an IQ over 120. Less than 1% have an IQ over 135 (considered “gifted” level intelligence). But what about the low end of the spectrum? The number of people within the global population with an IQ lower than 70 is 2% – Meaning the average IQ in Somalia is rare because it’s so minuscule.

These people are not criminal masterminds; they are useful pawns in a bigger scheme.

Obama’s Trojan Horse: How His Refugee Machine Engineered The Billion-Dollar Looting Of US Treasury

The Heist You Paid For

Imagine waking up tomorrow to find your bank account empty. Every dollar you saved for your children’s tuition, your retirement, your security—gone. Now imagine looking out the window and seeing the thief driving a Porsche bought with your money, laughing as he waves a government-issued thank you note. This is not a hypothetical scenario. It is the reality of the American taxpayer in the wake of the single largest COVID-era fraud scheme in the nation’s history. While you were locked down, masked up, and worrying about the price of eggs, a sophisticated network of fraudsters in Minnesota was siphoning off a quarter of a billion dollars—likely far more—from programs meant to feed hungry children.

The “Feeding Our Future” scandal is not just a story about greed. It is the smoking gun of a much darker political operation. Federal prosecutors have charged 70 people in a $250 million conspiracy, and the FBI is reportedly eyeing fraud that could total over $2 billion across multiple sectors including autism therapy, housing, and daycare. The vast majority of these defendants come from the Somali community in Minnesota. But do not be distracted by the foot soldiers. To understand how a fraud of this magnitude happens, you have to look past the people cashing the checks and look at the architect who built the bank. This industrial-scale theft traces directly back to Barack Obama. It was his administration that deliberately flooded Minnesota with tens of thousands of refugees, creating a dependent, insular enclave primed for exploitation. It was his policy of “equity” that paralyzed oversight. And it is his political heirs who are now frantically trying to bury the evidence.
