Ilhan Omar will do her absolute best to spin her way out of the fraud issues blanketing Minnesota. Yesterday she, with a straight face, asserted that all the fraud cases are just PR stunts by the Trump Administration.
The administration says the surge has been necessary to conduct both immigration enforcement and to investigate a growing fraud scandal in the state, the cost of which federal prosecutors estimate could top $9 billion. The scandal dates back to 2021, when Biden administration Justice Department investigators first honed in on an at least $250 million COVID-era scam revolving around the Feeding Our Future program, a case that now includes more than 75 defendants.
Most of the defendants are of Somali descent, leading President Trump and other Republican lawmakers to focus attention on the state’s large Somali community, while threatening to suspend federal funding to the state across a broad array of programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, and child care funding.
She’s super tired of all this guys. We need to drop the subject and quit the investigations.
