Minnesota Democrats demand reparations from ICE after losing $18 billion to Somali fraud


Tim Walz and Jacob Frey seek federal reimbursement as state faces scrutiny over massive social services fraud reportedly linked to Somali immigrant community


Minnesota Gov. Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Frey under DOJ investigation
Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin discusses the federal investigation into Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly interfering with immigration enforcement in Minnesota on ‘Special Report.’

Top Minnesota Democrats are demanding the federal government "pay for what they broke" following weeks of DHS’ immigration enforcement surge — a demand that comes after fraudsters stole as much as $18 billion from taxpayers who funded the state’s social services programs under their watch.

Embattled Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey both made public overtures to the feds for reimbursement for usage of state and city resources and recouping of other alleged damages.

"The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There [is] going to be accountability on the things that happened, but one of the things is the incredible and immense costs that were borne by the people of this state," Walz recently said.

I've been saying for quite some time the Cultural Marxists are not serious people, however, that doesn't mean they're not dangerous people.

I hope Trump sends them a bill for the zillion dollars of taxpayer funds it's taken to try and civilize their crooked banana republic of a city.

Typical blame shifting by the Dems. Get caught red handed, blame the Right and trust the stupidity of their voters

Wait for the dems to take back control.

The bailouts will make covis spending look like dollar store spending.

All the broke lib cities and states and refunneling all the DOGE cuts.

This is what I would do. I would literally send Minnesota a bill for however many billions of taxpayer dollars it took for ICE to do their job (and fight the mob at the same time). And not just ICE, but border agents, etc. that were used. Down to the penny.

Perhaps someone can explain to me, but with $18B in fraud, how in the heck can a city function? Their annual budget is >$2B

Every day Democrats push the incredulous scale to never before reached heights, and it doesn’t seem like they see a stopping point.

I almost didn't even click on this, because it sounds so ridiculous that I was convinced it was a bee article.

Good. This will keep focus on Somali fraud when America is distracted by the disappearance of Guthrie's mom.
