REPORT: Minnesota Taxpayers Are Being Robbed Blind, and Their Money is Funding Terrorism in Somalia

An explosive new investigative report by writers Ryan Thorpe and Chris Rufo reveals that American taxpayers in Minnesota are helping to fund terrorists in Somalia.

This is being done through a shell game that is played with our health and human services programs. Minnesota is ground zero for this fraud with Somalia because of the massive number of Somalis now living in the state.

This is insane.

From City Journal:

Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots.

In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source put it: “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”

Minnesota taxpayers should be outraged about this. All Americans should:

On September 18, Thompson announced criminal indictments for HSS fraud against Moktar Hassan Aden, Mustafa Dayib Ali, Khalid Ahmed Dayib, Abdifitah Mohamud Mohamed, Christopher Adesoji Falade, Emmanuel Oluwademilade Falade, Asad Ahmed Adow, and Anwar Ahmed Adow—six of whom, according a U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesperson, are members of Minnesota’s Somali community. Thompson made clear that this is just the first round of charges for HSS fraud that his office will be prosecuting.

“Most of these cases, unlike a lot of Medicare fraud and Medicaid fraud cases nationally, aren’t just overbilling,” Thompson said at a press conference announcing the indictments. “These are often just purely fictitious companies solely created to defraud the system, and that’s unique in the extent to which we have that here in Minnesota.”

Thompson said many firms enrolled in the program “operated out of dilapidated storefronts or rundown office buildings.” The perpetrators often targeted people recently released from rehab, signing them up for Medicaid services they had no intention of providing.

State Dept Labels Four Antifa-Linked Cells As Foreign Terrorist Organizations As Fight Against Radical Left Goes Global

The Trump administration expanded its crackdown on far-left violent extremist networks Thursday, as the State Department designated four far-left militant groups as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) and announced plans to formally add them to the Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list next Thursday.

The four radical left groups include:

Antifa Ost

  • Antifa Ost (also known as Antifa East and Hammerbande) is a Germany-based militant group. Antifa Ost conducted numerous attacks against individuals it perceives as “fascists” or part of the “right-wing scene” in Germany between 2018 and 2023 and is accused of having conducted a series of attacks in Budapest in mid-February 2023.
  • On September 26, 2025, Hungary declared Antifa Ost to be a terrorist organization and added the group to its national anti-terrorism list.

Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front (FAI/FRI)

  • FAI/FRI is a militant anarchist group that primarily operates in Italy with historical self-proclaimed affiliates across Europe, South America, and Asia. FAI/FRI declares the necessity of the revolutionary armed struggle against nation states and “The Fortress Europe.”
  • Since 2003, FAI/FRI has claimed responsibility for threats of violence, bombs, and letter bombs against political and economic institutions, including a courthouse and other “capitalist institutions.”

Armed Proletarian Justice

  • Armed Proletarian Justice is a Greek anarchist and “anti-capitalist” group that has attempted and conducted improvised explosive device (IED) attacks against Greek government targets.
  • Armed Proletarian Justice claimed responsibility for planting a bomb near the Greek riot police headquarters in Goudi, Greece on December 18, 2023.

Revolutionary Class Self-Defense

  • Revolutionary Class Self-Defense is a Greek anarchist and “anti-capitalist” group. The group links its actions to broader political and social issues and cites opposition to “capitalist structures,” “state repression,” and solidarity with Palestine.
  • Revolutionary Class Self-Defense claimed responsibility for two IED attacks targeting the Greece Ministry of Labor (February 3, 2024) and the Hellenic Train offices (April 11, 2025).

The designations remove these radical leftists from the U.S. financial system, block their assets under U.S. jurisdiction, bar U.S. persons from doing business with them, and criminalize providing material support.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) commented on the State Department’s news release, indicating, “It’s a major step in our fight against Antifa’s terror network.”

The Terror Plot Too Big for Media Attention?

There’s even more to the major media’s blind eye.  Ten days ago a story popped up in the press about a terror plot planned for Hallowe’en.  The story focused on suspected plotters in Michigan, later connected to other states, who were allegedly inspired by ISIS.

Again, the media almost immediately acted like this was a “Trumped-up” story.  The potshots started against FBI director Kash Patel.  The FBI did not immediately elaborate on its investigation, with media voices suggesting the Bureau was backing away from its charges.

Now the news is coming out that this wasn’t just a couple of “gamers” on the Internet.  At least six young people have been arrested in multiple states.  The FBI had not been talking because it has been seeking more evidence before it evaporates.

The suspects, it turns out, include several young men from well-to-do families.  There is talk of interstate travel for meetings, encrypted messages, gun ranges and rapid reloading practice.  Potential terror targets included an LGBTQ+ neighborhood in Ferndale, Michigan, and the Cedar Point amusement park in northwest Ohio – both targets that would normally draw massive media interest.

This may turn out to be a story the media can’t bury, despite its best efforts.  But if the likes of MSNBC and CNN aren’t interested in history, rest assured history is interested in them.  Violence against orderly implementation of our laws – and our election results – is rising.  So too is antisemitism, the history-repeating viciousness that has inspired many of the worst actors of the past century.

We can try to look the other way, as millions of Europeans and Americans did in the 1930s.  But history has a way of grabbing us by the throat and forcing us to see what’s in front of us – in Chicago and other major cities across the nation.  We will answer for our silence.

Famous American writer’s son, 19, arrested over alleged plot to bomb Detroit gay bars in ISIS terror attack

The son of famed Iranian-American poet Roger Sedarat was arrested after allegedly plotting to bomb gay bars in Detroit in an ISIS-inspired attack, police sources said. 

Milo Sedarat, 19, was apprehended at his father’s home in Montclair, New Jersey, on Wednesday in connection with the probe into the foiled attack, which was set to unfold on Halloween.

The teenager was arrested alongside another 19-year-old from Montclair, Tomas Kaan Guzel, police sources told the New York Post.

Their arrests come after five other alleged co-conspirators and one minor were charged in connection with the plot. 

Their alleged scheme was uncovered last week by the FBI and the NYPD’s Intelligence Bureau, which said the bombing was intended to copy ISIS‘s terror attack in Paris in 2015. 

According to the Post, Guzel was arrested in a food court in Newark Liberty International Airport on his way to Turkey, with the goal of reaching Syria to train with ISIS. 

The arrests of Sedarat and Guzel also came two days after three additional Michigan men were charged with intending to supply weapons for the alleged ISIS-inspired attack. 

Guzel was allegedly intending to travel on November 17, but moved his flight forward after hearing that the FBI had raided the homes of several other terror suspects in Detroit, sources said.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrests before the Halloween weekend, saying the terror cell was plotting a ‘violent attack‘. 

Sedarat and Guzel are set to be charged in New Jersey federal court. The Daily Mail has reached out to the FBI for further comment.

Three of the other men arrested in connection with the plot include Mohamed Ali, 20, Majed Mahmoud, also 20, and Ayob Nasser, 19.

As the attack would have unfolded in gay bars in Michigan, Ali and the rest of the group intended to make their way to Syria to train with ISIS, prosecutors said in court documents. 

Authorities said their raids uncovered three AR-15 style rifles, two shotguns, four pistols, and more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition. 

The raids also led to the discovery of GoPro cameras, tactical vests and combat gear, prosecutors said. 

Announcing the arrests of the five alleged terrorists last week, Patel said they were intent on launching a ‘violent attack’.

‘Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland,’ Patel said. 

The Daily Mail has contacted the FBI and Sedarat for comment.

UK DYSTOPIA: Mass Stabbing in Train Sees at Least 10 People Wounded at Huntingdon – Police Now Says It Was NOT a Terrorist Attack – 2 Suspects in Custody

How long must this go on?

The scourges of unchecked mass migration and Islamic invasion keep fraying the social fabric in the United Kingdon.

A Saturday night train commute turned into hell as a couple of men – said at this point to be ‘British citizens’ but who victims heard shout ‘Allahu Akbar’ – went on a stabbing spree that reportedly left ten people wounded, with two fighting for their lives.

Initially, the incident had been investigated as a terrorist attack, but now UK police has reversed course and is saying it was no such thing.

The Mirror reported:

“A statement from Superintendent John Loveless which was delivered at the scene of Huntingdon station this morning:

‘This is a shocking incident and my thoughts are with those who have been injured and their families. At 7.42pm we were called to reports of a multiple stabbing on board the 6.25pm train service from Doncaster to London King’s Cross.

Officers immediately attended Huntingdon station alongside paramedics, where armed police from Cambridgeshire Police boarded the train and arrested two people within 8 minutes of the first 999 call. The two men remain in police custody’.”

FBI: Possible Halloween weekend terror attack averted, multiple suspects arrested in Michigan

A possible terrorist attack planned for Halloween weekend was thwarted by authorities, according to FBI Director Kash Patel.

Patel said Friday morning on X that multiple suspects were arrested in Michigan in connection with this plot. 

According to Patel, these suspects “were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend.”

What we don’t know:

It is unclear where the suspects were planning the attack. Information being spread on social media references a possible attack at Warren’s TACOM, but that is an old story about a suspect who was arrested and charged in the spring.

The FBI in Detroit said agents were present in Dearborn and Inkster early Friday, but could not confirm if this was related to the terror attack plot referenced by Patel. 

Dearborn police also confirmed that the FBI conducted an operation in the city. Police said there is no threat to the community.

Genocide in Nigeria: Islamic terror groups are killing en masse and aim to eliminate 112 million Christians and 13 million others by 2075

According to a report published in August by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law (“Intersociety”), at least 7,087 Christians were massacred across Nigeria in the first 220 days of 2025. 

According to Intersociety, 19,100 churches have been destroyed, over 1,100 Christian communities displaced and more than 600 Christian clerics have been abducted.  Since 2009,  approximately 185,009 Nigerians have been killed, including 125,009 Christians and 60,000 “liberal Muslims,” Intersociety says.

The report attributes the killings to 22 Islamic terrorist groups, including Boko Haram, ISWAP and Fulani militias, which are accused of a genocidal campaign to eliminate Christianity and traditional religions.  It says these groups aim to eliminate an estimated 112 million Christians and 13 million adherents of traditional religions by the year 2075, or over the next 50 years.

In addition to uprooting and obliterating Christianity, “These Islamic terror groups are using violence and genocidal means to obliterate or wipe out Nigeria’s indigenous ethnic groups and their identities, especially the 3,475-year-old Igbo cultural heritage put in place [established] since 1450 BC,” the report states.

Intersociety and other groups, including Genocide Watch, have condemned the Nigerian military for its complicity in the violence, accusing it of protecting jihadist interests and failing to protect Christian communities.

Years ago, Genocide Watch raised the alarm.  In December 2022, it said, “The UNDP estimates that terrorists have killed over 350,000 people in Nigeria since 2009. 300,000 were children. Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani jihadists have also forcibly displaced over 2.9 million Nigerians.  The genocidal massacres have mainly targeted Christians.” 

In March 2025, Nina Shea, an American international human rights lawyer, testified before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa on the persecution of Christian farming communities by militant Fulani Muslim herders. 

“Nigeria now ranks 6 out of 66 on the 2025 Global Terrorism Index and the index does not even take into account the violence by militant Fulani herders … In recent years, more Christians have been killed for their faith in Nigeria than in all other places combined,” Shea said and urged the US Congress to recommend that Nigeria be designated a Country of Particular Concern (“CPC”).

Yet corporate media remains silent.

The Islamic terror groups want to turn Nigeria into “a country where Christianity is banned and brutally crushed, relegated and forced underground,” the Intersociety report says.

Adding, “Other countries lending anti-Christian crush to Nigeria are Libya, Algeria, North  Korea, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Somalia and Afghanistan – where it is high crime to be seen with holy bible or wearing Christian symbols or saying Christian prayers or singing praises and worship songs.”

The Shadow Of Terror: Zohran Mamdani’s Radical Islam Problem

New York City’s 2025 mayoral race has thrust Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist and New York State Assembly member, into the spotlight as the Democratic nominee. His candidacy, while historic as potentially the first Muslim and Indian-American mayor, raises serious concerns due to his (1) adherence to the Shi’a Twelver sect, (2) support of Hamas jihadist terrorists and its parent group, the Muslim Brotherhood, (3) rabid antisemitism, and (4) devastating economic implications of his socialist policies. Mamdani’s candidacy is a natural result of decades of failed NYC policies toward Islamists and jihadists, which have almost turned the city into a Muslim Brotherhood sanctuary. Mamdani’s candidacy is a symptom of a larger Islamist problem in NYC.

While many American Muslims in New York City are patriotic and capable of great leadership, Mamdani’s religious and ideological stances demand scrutiny. Mamdani wants to rule New York City, but who rules Mamdani?

New York City is home to over half a million Muslims, many of whom contribute significantly to the city’s vibrant fabric. Numerous Muslim leaders possess the vision, integrity, and capability to serve as mayor, championing policies that align with American values and the U.S. Constitution; however, Mamdani is not among them. He belongs on a terror watchlist and not in a mayoral race.

DOJ Brings Terrorism Charges Against ‘Militant’ Antifa Cell That Attacked ICE Facility

A federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa members on counts of “providing material support to terrorists,” the “attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States,” and “discharging firearms during, in relation to, and in furtherance of a crime of violence,” according to the indictment.

These are reportedly the first terrorism charges associated with Antifa.

The charges originate from a July 4 attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, allegedly by Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, indicted, and several co-conspirators, as previously reported by The Federalist. The Department of Homeland Security was using the facility to house illegal migrants ahead of their deportation.

According to the indictment, attackers “began by shooting fireworks toward the facility and vandalizing vehicles and a guard shed.” DHS personnel contacted local law enforcement for support.

The indictment says Arnold yelled “get to the rifles,” and fired on the officers. He hit an Alvarado police officer, who returned fire, the document says. The attackers left after Arnold’s rifle jammed. Police arrested “most of the Antifa cell shortly after the attack,” and arrested Arnold the next day, according to the indictment.

The indictment describes Antifa as a “militant enterprise made up of networks of individuals and small groups, primarily ascribing to a revolutionary anarchist or autonomous Marxist ideology, which explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and the system of law.”

The document acknowledged a pattern “beginning in 2025” of “Antifa adherents” targeting ICE facilities and agents, in protest of “policy on the removal of illegal aliens.” It cites one Antifa member in an encrypted chat saying, “I’m done with peaceful protests” and “Blue lives don’t matter.”

President Trump officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization last month.

First-cousin marriage linked to terrorist financing, money laundering and people trafficking, experts warn

The storm over first-cousin marriage deepened last night after experts linked it to terrorist financing, money laundering and people trafficking.

Tories called for the marriages to be banned after The Mail on Sunday revealed last month that NHS guidance promotes their ‘benefits’ despite an associated increase in birth defects.

The marriages are also connected to unregulated, untraceable ‘hawala’ financing – a way of transferring money worldwide that depends on family ties and doesn’t leave a paper trace.

To make a transfer using hawala, someone deposits cash in one country with a password. 

The same amount can be withdrawn abroad using the password via a trusted middleman in both countries. It does not require physical movement of cash.

The National Crime Agency says risks of money laundering and terror financing under this system are high.

It says Hezbollah has received billions through the system and Isis depends on it.

British funds have reached terrorist cells in Somalia and Syria, adds the crime agency.

Government investigators believe hawala is being used to launder at least £2billion every year in the UK. 

Academic Dr Patrick Nash says because cousin marriages are typically made with foreign relatives, they are more likely to import hawala to the UK, as well as needing to transfer money abroad to family.

He says: ‘Labour must act swiftly to ban cousin marriage and hawala or be complicit in terrorist atrocities.’

Since being cut off from financial markets by the US, Iran has become adept at using hawala to transfer British funds to prop up terrorist regimes in the Middle East.

The National Crime Agency has also found that hundreds of millions of pounds a year is being channelled through hawala to smuggle migrants and potential terrorists into Britain.

Documents have been unearthed showing Government ministers, tax authorities and law enforcement officials promoting the hawala network.

In one case they show how families can use hawala to pay people-smugglers to help to cross the Channel.
