Trump Calls Out Ilhan Over Minnesota’s $1B Somali Fraud: Feeding Kids or Funding Terror?

President Trump has reignited the explosive 2025 Minnesota fraud scandal, accusing Rep. Ilhan Omar of defending a community while billions in federal COVID/child-nutrition dollars allegedly vanished under Gov. Tim Walz’s watch — with court documents showing money wired to luxury real estate in Dubai, Kenya, and reportedly even to Al-Shabaab affiliates in Somalia. Was this massive theft an isolated crime by a few bad actors, or a predictable consequence of rapid resettlement, lax oversight, and sanctuary-style policies? Should Ilhan Omar be held politically accountable? Is it time to pause or overhaul Somali refugee intake, demand deportations of fraud participants, and claw back the stolen funds — or is the outrage just xenophobic scapegoating of an entire immigrant communities? One side says: protect taxpayers, secure the border, enforce the law without apology. The other side says: collective punishment and deportation rhetoric endanger innocent refugees and tear apart families. Where do you stand?
