A Minnesota jury found 5 of the 7 Somali defendants guilty of stealing millions of dollars in Covid funds intended to feed children.
70 members of the Somali community in Minnesota stole about $250 million in Covid funds. The seven defendants on trial related to the scheme were accused of stealing more than $40 million in taxpayer money.
Millions of dollars went overseas to Somalia. 80% of the stolen Covid money was never recovered.
“The verdict confirms what we’ve known all along, which is that defendants falsified documents, they lied and they fraudulently claimed to be feeding millions of meals to children in Minnesota during COVID,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said. “The defendants took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to defraud the state of Minnesota and to steal tens of millions of dollars.”
Why in the hell is the government paying to feed these people. If they don’t work send them back to wherever the hell they came from
All 70 members of the Somali community in Minnesota and the people they are associated with needs to be deported immediately. Governor Tim Walz, this happened in your state on your watch. What the hell are you going to do about it ? Ilhan Omar, these are your friends, your neighbors, maybe even your relatives. As a state representative of Minnesota, what are you doing about this ?
These people are just the land version of the somali pirates.
Thanks, Joe, you dumb old geyser senile POS!
