The crackdown against crime continues by the trump administration.After achieving the largest single year drop in murder rates ever recorded, trump has turned his focus to combating the fraudulent use of federal programs. Earlier this year Trump dismantled a $250m fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during the Covid pandemic in a case that led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions, and now he is turning the heat up on the criminal fraud ringhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/28/fbi-minnesota-fraud-schemes-somaliaFBI deploys more resources to MinnesotaThe FBI has deployed additional personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to “dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs”, director Kash Patel said on social media on Sunday.Amid the Trump administrations attacks on the state and its Somali immigration population, the FBI director said the agency had already dismantled a $250m fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during the Covid pandemic in a case that led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions.Patel said the FBI believes “this is just the tip of a very large iceberg”. Some of those involved in the alleged scheme are being “referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible”.Patel’s comments comes after federal prosecutors estimate as much as $9bn has been stolen across schemes allegedly linked to the state’s Somali population.
The FBI director also said he was aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota, which appears to refer to an unverified online report by online content creator Nick Shirley about a daycare center in Minneapolis that received $4m despite reportedly having no enrolled kids.The 42-minute video, which has been viewed 115m times since it was posted on 26 December, alleged that Minnesota governor Tim Walz “knew about the fraud but never reported it”.A spokesperson for Walz denied Shirley’s claim to Fox News.“The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action. He has strengthened oversight – including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed,” they said.Last month, Donald Trump ended legal protections for Somalis in Minnesota and accused the state of being “a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” under its Democratic governor, Tim Walz.Somali Americans, Trump has said, “come from hell”, “contribute nothing” and should “go back to where they came from”. He has also recently described Minnesota’s Democratic representative Ilhan Omar as “garbage” and said “her friends are garbage.”Omar has called Trump’s “obsession” with her and Somali Americans “creepy and unhealthy.”“We are not, and I am not, someone to be intimidated,” Omar said earlier this month, “and we are not gonna be scapegoated.”Omar has accused agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of pulling her constituents off the streets, including questioning her son. She has said she is being forced to address questions about her own immigration status.
Omar has come under further pressure from the administration after it was revealed that her husband and former political consultant, Tim Mynett’s, $25m venture capital firm, Rose Lake Capital, recently purged key officer details from its website after questions were raised about the couple’s wealth.The couple’s net worth surged 3,500% in just one year, according to reports, and their net worth is now anywhere between $6m and $30m. The venture capital firm alone, per the filing, is worth between $5m and $25m.The firm’s officials and advisors that have been removed from Rose Lake Capital’s website include Adam Ereli, Barack Obama’s former ambassador to Bahrain; Max Baucus, Obama’s ambassador to China; Alex Hoffman, the former finance chair of the Democratic National Committee; and former DNC treasurer William Derrough.Omar has not been accused of wrongdoing, but reports say that three people accused of defrauding the state have alleged ties to the congresswoman.
Deport Omar and her “people” or Minnesota will never be great. Their seriously retarded governor can go with them!
>>1469901i remember when the president didn't have an army of internet trolls, ahh, weren't those the days
>>1469902I suppose some people just enjoy having a low murder rate and having people arrested when they defraud the federal government... I guess these sorta feels just don't make sense to progressives¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>1469903at least you don't deny the fact that you're a part of trump's troll army
>>1469904I don't need to deny your schizo fantasy delusions, anon.im simply someone who enjoys having a low murder rate and having people arrested who defraud federal programs like thisI told you that you wouldn't understand, thanks for proving it to everyone on this board
>>1469905no, you're esl shill, you always were and you always will be. sorry esl shill
Oh my, the shill is angry again after embarrassing itself
>>1469908good job esl shill, you finally learned how to fix your own spelling errors by deleting your posts. now don't make them in the first place and you might not be made fun of constantly
>>1469905Im not falling for it, shill
>another lefty melty lmao
>>1469898>After achieving the largest single year drop in murder rates ever recorded,Bbbut I thought crime was up and immigrants were doing it? I'm detecting a partisan loser
>>1469903>people arrested when they defraud the federal government...Holy retard! Batman! Trump and his cronies I've been robbing the public coffers blind
>>1469928>cronies I've been rHahaHave been(I I forgot to put my dentures in)
>>1469927>Bbbut I thought crime was up and immigrants were doing itit was back when Biden was letting all of them in freelyIs reading hard for you or something, faggot?
I wonder what kind of socioeconomic factors leads an entire demographic of people to steal nine billion dollars
>>1469930>it was back when Biden was letting all of them in freely1. Crime fell like a rock under Biden.2. It's been returning to normal since the COVID spike3. Deportations are down under Trump (as it turns out when you go after all immigrants instead of just assholes, people stop cooperating with immigration enforcement).
>>1469943>an entire demographicThere were only a handful of people behind that shit.Also the socioeconomic factor was Trump starting a program giving out free money with no regular oversight. "Please take 1" is a shit strategy for aid distribution.
>>1469898Who remembers Philip Esformes? Anyone? Billion dollar Medicare fraud? Pardoned by Trump? That Philip?
>>1469946>There were only a handful of people behind that shit.There's been like 60 convictions so far. It was a far reaching criminal enterprise, not just a couple of dudes
>>1469945>1. Crime fell like a rock under Biden.Holy shit I almost spit out my redbull reading this. Are you fucking serious anon? You dumb fucks were on some 'defund the police' bullshit and broke crime records by the next year. Look at Austin, TX for one example: cut 1/3rd of their police budget and then broke their standing record for homicides going back to the mid-80s.
>>1469957this ancient lie again, shill anon? You know simply googling "Austin defunded police" shows that the police budget was boosted during Biden's tenure
>>1469960You're retarded. Crime feel because they just didn't count it. It's the most played out Democrat strategy.
>>1469960>You know simply googling "Austin defunded police" shows that the police budget was boosted during Biden's tenureAfter they broke their record for homicide and were forced to by gov. Abbott. A simple google search can show that btw.
>>1469962nah sorry shill anon, you already showed us that you're a pathological liar and faggot who simps for russia. if you're american it's actually more pathetic than the alternative (you're a spamming esl shill)
>>1469963>nah sorry shill anon, you already showed us that you're a pathological liar and faggot who simps for russia.I just started posting in this thread and never mentioned Russia once. I guess calling everyone you disagree with esl is your coping mechanism. When you get over it look up homicides in Austin, TX over the last 10 years.
>>1469964>i just started posting in this threadno you didn't pathological lying shill anon. thanks for proving through your lies though>i never mentioned russia oncethanks for proving that you're the one spamming "ukraiggers" in multiple posts, lying shill anon>stop calling me esl shill :'(no
>>1469966>no you didn't pathological lying shill anon. thanks for proving through your lies thoughOkay which post before 1469957 was mine? Quote and reply to it right now.
>>1469967the one where you're being a faggot. it was all of your posts before that one
>>1469970Which one? Reply to it now.
>>1469961And this can't be the case under Trump why? He already did it for inflation.
>>1469898>the FBI director said the agency had already dismantled a $250m fraud schemeUnfortunately Trump also pardoned someone for a 1 billion dollar nursing home fraud scheme, so this is pretty meaningless.
>>1469971reply to the post where you aren't an esl shill. do it right now
Why do Democrats hate cracking down on fraud? Is it because it's what their party thrives on?
>>1470042Yes.
Its sad as fuck this country got successfully fleeced by call center pajeet niggers
>>1469946>There were only a handful of people behind that shit.And now they deserve to be physically removed from the country.
>>1470123I'm shocked how easy it was, part of what LBJ's administration was warned about when they warned against the possibility of illegal immigrants flooding the country was that our jails are much nicer than their countries, if we arrest them then we're effectively housing them for free. If we execute them, we're no better than the commies who do the same to migrants in their country. At the time, it was in response to the Chinese who were going through their version of the troubles where the average person would normally eat meals made of the children of other average people, as Mao at the time had this Great Leap Forward plan which destroyed the crops of millions of farmers. But the theory is still the same: Even living in a maximum security prison in America is better than living as a dirt farmer in India or a starving thief in Somalia. So of course they're going to try anything in their power to come over here even if they end up getting caught. The money just one of these establishments can scam the local government can make them and their entire extended family live a king's life for eternity and all it takes is maybe one member of their family getting an all-expenses paid vacation in American prison (probably not even maximum security, the last person who defrauded Minnesota went to minimum security).
>>1470161>At the time, it was in response to the ChineseWhat's really fucking funny is knowing about a similar movement that went on in the late 1880s that led to an outright chinese ban. Like the type of shit MAGA would DROOL over. The West Coast in particular went as far as to completely expel and/or deport all of their chinese population.And you know what happened?Complete fucking disaster. Turns out citizens DIDN'T fill in the roles those laborers were filling because they didn't pay well and were seen as below them. And since most of those industries were staffed primarily by the now-banned Chinese migrants, what few did had no one left to train them. It fucking annihilated their economic growth for over 60 years.
