Somali migrants defrauded $2.5 billion from Minnesota

Somali scammers who have looted as much as $2.5 billion from Minnesota targeted the state due to officials touting the generosity of its welfare programs, a Republican state lawmaker told American Moment CEO Nick Solheim.

State employees accused Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota of engaging in “systemic” retaliation against whistleblowers who warned of the fraud schemes as the Justice Department is pursuing three federal cases involving at least $1 billion in fraud. Republican State Rep. Max Rymer of Minnesota told Solheim on Monday’s episode of “Moment of Truth” that the state’s policies “encourage refugee resettlement” to “take advantage of” the state’s welfare benefits.
