Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Minnesota Authorities Knew About Somali Theft in 2015. Did Nothing.

By

Charges dismissed. Disqualified from billing the state for only 2 years.

I’ve been doing a lot of interviews about Somali fraud lately. And the people I talk to are usually baffled when I say that I’ve been covering it since 2018-2019. This isn’t some recent development. What did happen recently, especially beginning with COVID, is that the fraud ballooned into the billions, but it goes well back.

Minnesota authorities knew that Somali welfare state operations had a systemic history of fraud going way back.

Take the 2015 busts of Somali day care centers.

Four people were arrested Tuesday and two more arrests are likely in connection with charges filed against three Minneapolis day-care centers that primarily serve poorer children, authorities said.

Felony charges were filed against Minnesota Child Care Services, 2500 Minnehaha Av.; Children’s Choice Center, 2700 Summer St. NE., and Ummah Child Care Center, 2505 5th Av. S., authorities announced at an afternoon news conference at the Hennepin County Government Center.

The centers are accused of overbilling the state’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) by claiming that they cared for more children than were actually present. For example, during a two-week span at the end of last year, Minnesota Child Care Services billed the state for 2,183 children, while a video revealed that no more than 1,233 children were actually attending — a difference of 950 children.

In May, the DHS shut down Salama Child Care Center, a Minneapolis day care that had allegedly billed the state for hundreds of hours of services that were never provided. That case is unrelated.

“They cheated big and they got caught,” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said of the day-care operators, many of whom have relationships and overlapping employment or ownership at the targeted facilities.

Somali community activist Omar Jamal, who knows a key suspect in the investigation, said documentation for provider reimbursement is complicated and encouraged the state to provide more training for new businesspeople.

This may be the same Omar Jamal currently facing deportation.

Somali-American community activist Omar Jamal spoke on Friday about his time being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and held in a jail in Albert Lea, Minnesota.

In the past, Omar Jamal has been a spokesperson for the Somali community in Minneapolis. He says he joined the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office as a civilian community service officer in 2020. But when he was arrested in August, the Department of Homeland Security cited his criminal history, which they say includes “assault, fraud, and making fraudulent statements,” accusations Jamal has disputed.

He was first issued a final order of removal in 2011, but was not deported

But back to the 2015 busts. The Somalis claimed that they were victims and the media took their side.

It was about six in the evening and employees of Ummah Child Care Center filled the reception area as children’s voices echoed throughout the building.

For Khadija Hassan, the center offers something she didn’t have when she lived in Willmar, Minn., two years ago. She gets to earn a living while watching her young children at the same time.

Hassan, a mother of five children ages 6 months to 8 years old, says she was drawn to Ummah when she applied for the Child Care Assistance Program at Hennepin County. The name, Ummah, is an Arabic word for community.

Actually Ummah means the Islamic communality. One that operates under Islamic law and oppresses non-Muslims. But let that pass.

Ummah is one of several day care centers that closed after prosecutors opened up fraud investigations into their billing activities. Four months have passed since charges were filed against the corporations and prosecutors haven’t charged the individual operators.

Asha Abdi who works at a different Somali-run day care center, not involved in the case, said the whole community has been feeling the consequences of this investigation.

“It’s unfair, it’s unconstitutional to actually put people behind bars, finger print them, blast them on the news,” she said, adding that one of the day care employees lost a second job. “A lot of things that come into play but without the state actually having all the facts.”

The day care center operators are all Somali who incorporate their culture into daily activities with the children. They speak the language, serve Somali food and open extended hours to accommodate unconventional work schedules.

Seven people were arrested and released last fall. Three of them were arrested at the airport as they returned from a trip to Dubai.

Abdi said the investigation has caused Somali-run day cares to believe they’re being watched for no reason.

Minnesota Department of Human Services Inspector General Jerry Kerber said the three day care providers deceive families eligible for the program by recruiting them, offering them phony jobs with pay stubs and encouraging them to enroll their kids there without actually attending.

And what happened to them? A light slap on the wrist.

As part of the settlement, the billers for all three centers agreed to sign disqualification agreements barring them from working with state-licensed child care providers for two years. In return, the Hennepin County Attorney’s office agreed not to charge them criminally.

Charges against two of the executives of the Minnesota Child Care Center were also dismissed as part of the settlement.

Disqualified from billing the state for only 2 years. No criminal charges. No wonder this went on.

Minnesota DFLers and their bureaucrats can play dumb all they like (Gov. Tim Walz is especially good at it) but they knew this was going on.

  1. “It’s unconstitutional to *actually*put people behind bars”? “To fingerprint them”? “blast them on the news”?

    Okay, cheating, lying lawbreaker; just where in the Constitution does it say those things?

    Blaming others is a psychopath’s favorite tool, weapon, tactic. Blaming by saying they need more “training” by the State because “documentation for provider reimbursement is complicated.” Not so much so that they can’t put the correct number of children actually at the centers.

    They have the employee’s six children, which she gets paid to watch. What a deal! Who wouldn’t go for a job like that?
    And the sounds of children ‘throughout’ the center….could have been recordings of the six, played from various rooms. If the ones filling out the paperwork…”documentation” count higher than six, that one knows that he/she is lying.
    But lying is what muzzies do most. It’s their *culture.*

    • Man, oh man, all the things I wanted to say!!! And if they’re imported, getting paid to have children, and to raise them, how is that not a Great Replacement?!?

      Thank you, Mr. Greenfield. Great reporting.

      • Thank you, HP. It’s the muzzie dream….not the American one….but then, they aren’t really.

  3. This is like the fall of Rome if you know how Rome rotted from within. The FBI should have turned up & arrested all the people running the day care centers, & all the politicians enabling this & taking a cut. If this is ignored the US is basically finished as a viable country.

  4. The fraud and money laundering have been going on at Somali owned halal shops in Lewiston and Portland for at least two decades. The Baldacci administration was informed at a meeting by several Act for America members in 2011. They did nothing.

  5. It’s been noted that the State of Washington has 539 Somali-speaking day care centers. A listing:

    Would you suppose about 40% of those families also receive government assistance for autistic children?

    How many US states surrender booty to Somalis?

    Arrr…Avast ye, Matey! There be hornswoggling bilge rats and scallywags about the treasure! Haul wind!

    • ONE STATE has 539 childcare centers with Somali as the primary spoken language? I’m going to go out on a limb here (/sarc) and suggest that not a single one of them is providing anything resembling the kind of services you’d expect at a REAL childcare center, and that bloodsucking invaders from Lightbulbheadistan are enriching themselves at taxpayer expense.

      • And cnn woman is accusing the authorities and Scott Jennings, the video guy Nick Shirley, of “targeting somalis” as if the fraud, the lies and cheating, money-laundering all happened but had nothing to do with the muzzies.

      • Well, they are developing alternate spellings for the word learning. Doubtless, they’re hard at work on many more.

      • Michael, a lot of these childcare centers apparently do not exist at all.

  7. “Sen. Schmitt on Minnesota: We’re going to see another wave of this fraud when we go through COVID money”
    “Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) said on FOX News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle” that widespread fraud, illegal immigration, and welfare benefits for non-citizens are demoralizing to the public, adding that confronting this abuse “is an opportunity to regain the trust of the American people and go after this fraud.” Schmitt called on people to be denaturalized and deported over alleged widespread fraud in the Minneapolis childcare system.

    CHAFFETZ: Yeah, I want to see people in handcuffs. I want to see them prosecuted, and I want to see them on planes going back to their home countries as soon as possible, or put them on a bus. I don’t know, I always have to fly them. Put them on one of those old Greyhounds from 1972. That should do the trick. All right, a new HUD report, Housing and Urban Development.

    It reports that more than $5 billion dollars in questionable rental assistance during the final year of the Biden administration, and get this, it includes 30,000 deceased tenants and thousands of potential non-citizens. I mean, every day, every hour, we seem to get these reports. 30,000 dead people, Senator.

    SCHMITT: Well, I think that the main focus, when President Trump shocked the political world, right, and had the most historic return we’ve ever seen in American politics, from the moment he came down the escalator the first time, to his return to Washington, what was a central plank of his, is to take on the illegal immigration problem. So we kind of don’t talk about anymore that the southern border has been closed, right? Now he’s taking to the narco-terrorists on the high seas.

    But now I think the next phase of all this is the mass deportations that need to happen to meet the mass migration that was opened up by Joe Biden, the 20 million people. Then also these, you know, through the legal immigration problem we have, the H-1B visas that are displacing American workers, the OPT program that are displacing American students, this is part of an immigration system that is tilted against the American people. And when you see the fraud, when you see people getting cash to come here, no background checks, being put up at the Roosevelt Hotel, you know, the welfare benefits they’re going to non-citizens, if you’re, you know, a working-class American that sees this, you’re right to be frustrated with your government, and I think this is an opportunity to regain the trust of the American people and go after this fraud.”

  8. ” . . . and the media took their side.”
    And, it still is.
    This recent broadcast from the CBS affiliate in Minnesota, WCCO:
    Poo-poo’s Nick Shirly’s video
    Dismisses concerns that some of the stolen money may be going to terrorism
    Puts Jaylani Hussein on to insinuate Rep. Tom Emmer is talking like a Nazi despite the fact that Jaylani Hussein has repeatedly said on TV that white people are our nation’s greatest threat.- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RDzQfPq8FI

    There is something seriously wrong in Minnesota.

    • ” . . . and the media took their side.”

      The media (entirely democrat media/party) have taken the side of every criminal element to be exposed. The criminal element, no matter how small or large, no matter how destructive. Democrats have taken that side every single time. Our President Trump has caused them to lose their usually secretive minds and come out and show who they really are. President Trump is the most amazing figure I have ever known throughout my long lifetime. And this time around it has only been less than a year. Happy New Year and Next Year Americans and the World!

      • Trump has certainly risen in my estimation over the years; I first knew him as a tabloid staple and didn’t understand the early rumblings insisting he should run back in ~2010. Then he came out against foreign wars and I knew he stood a real chance. We’re fortunate he’s taking on all this corruption.

        As to something wrong in Minnesota, the Nick Shirley video shows a man who was long on the fraud cases complaining about “Minnesota Nice.” We have this problem with a company division; no one there will ever investigate or acknowledge flaws or serious issues, but attacks anyone who will, and they’re first on every DEI stage.

      • There is a reason all of these leftist leaders, judges, and activists consistently go out of their way to ensure that the worst kind of felons go unpunished and remain at large, and it’s breathtakingly simple: they want law abiding people to have their lives shrunk by fear and their capacity to resist broken. Same here in Canada, same in Europe.

  9. It is not just theft in Minnesota but it is theft on a grand and nationwide scale. Theft of American taxpayer money. Theft of American taxpayer funded services. Theft of an American’s most sacred right, one American citizen one vote. The democrat party is a giant diversified criminal organization which operates in every US state. When it comes to the health welfare and defense of the USA there is only one type of American and no one that fits that description is a democrat. That is why I never refer to democrats as Americans. They are not Americans but something else entirely.

  11. No one is going to jail (I mean anyone elected to office) it is all part of a giant kick back scheme to enrich elected officials. Too many of them are involved some underlings will take a fall ,some will be Clinton Suicided shooting themselves in the back ect. or fall victim to strange fatally happen send” accidents ” .Everything according to MSM will be spined as orange man fault ,or white supremist racism ,or white straight male privilege , or capitalism gone “wild”. After more than a decade of the Alice in wonderland magic thinking and mad tea party of the MSM ,and the democrats inventing tinfoil hat fairy tales about Islam is peaceful ,good ,and can be be a positive influence in every civilization it invades ?Anyone questioning what they see what their own eyes ,hear with their own ears ,and smell with their own noses is a hardcore white supremist (even if they are not white) God bless and protect Nick Shirley(who reported this in 2025) and some civil servants who reported this to elected officials who reported this going back to 2015 .The elected officials covered it up either to win blocks of Islamic voters or they where getting nice kick backs under the table .How many elected officials have friends family members attached to” non-profits” getting millions in taxpayers funds with little or no oversight? Land pirates stealing billions of taxpayers dollars under the banner of DEI and Islam the peaceful honest religion equal and the same or better then Christianity and Judaism .

  12. I hang on the precipice of despair by occasionally allowing myself to think, “What would have happened to the United States if Trump hadn’t won a year ago?” All of these sickening revelations re illegals’ crimes and growing communities of never-to-assimilate turd world mooslimes working tirelessly to expand the worldwide caliphate to include America would be papered over, denied, ridiculed as “White racists’ fantasies..”.. Life sometimes hangs by a slender thread and but for Donald Trump our thread of American life as we have known it would irreparably have been severed.
