Who wants to thank Obama for taking in all those Somalian refugees?

According to a detailed investigative report, at least 28 fraud scandals involving Somali-owned entities defrauding government programs in Minnesota have surfaced since 2019 (within the past 7 years), many of which targeted federal funds through programs like Medicaid and USDA child nutrition.

This count includes the recent autism services fraud scheme, as well as numerous others ranging from large-scale operations to smaller indictments. The report notes that these cases have collectively siphoned off billions in taxpayer dollars, with specific major examples including:Feeding Our Future (child nutrition fraud): A $250 million scheme exploiting federal COVID-era funds, with 77 defendants charged as of late 2025 (56+ pleas guilty).

Housing Stabilization Services fraud: Involves over $100 million in fraudulent Medicaid claims since 2020, with 8 defendants charged in 2025 (6 Somali).

Autism services fraud: A $14 million Medicaid scheme with the first defendant charged in 2025, part of a broader surge in claims from $3 million to $399 million.

Multiple Medicaid fraud indictments: Including a 2023 caregiver scheme ($9.5 million, 18 charged), a 2023 scheme ($11 million, 3 charged), a 2024 scheme ($2.6 million, 8 charged), a 2024 billing scheme ($10 million, 5 charged), and individual cases like Abdifatah Yusuf's 2025 Medicaid fraud conviction.

Child care fraud (earlier wave): Suspicious billings exceeding $100 million around 2018, with some providers charged or fleeing to Somalia.
