Minnesota Democrats, Including Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison, Allegedly Pocketed Tens of Thousands from Massive Somali Welfare Fraud Scheme

Ilhan Omar / Face The Nation

Several high-profile Minnesota Democrats have been linked to campaign donations totaling over $53,000 from individuals involved in the Somalian scams, one of the largest welfare fraud scandals in U.S. history.

The Minnesota Somali community’s scheme centered around the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, siphoned off approximately $250 million in federal taxpayer funds intended to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic, but were instead used for luxury purchases like mansions and high-end shopping sprees.

The total fraud, including state payments, may reach $1 billion.

There is currently a federal investigation that has already indicted 75 people, with more than half pleading guilty to charges including wire fraud and bribery.

According to a report from the New York Post, as Minnesota’s top law enforcement officer, Attorney General Keith Ellison received $10,000 from businessmen linked to the scandal. This included three $2,500 donations on the same day following a 2021 meeting with Somali business leaders, two of whom later became criminal defendants.
