If Tim Walz was a smart man he would resign in disgrace over this.

If Tim Walz was a smart man he would resign in disgrace over this.

If he resigns then that will only benefit the Democrat party and they will argue that they are the responsible party.

Tim Walz is doing a tremendous service for the Republican party by not resigning.

I think he should get a promotion. Maybe they could make him the emperor of Minnesota.

He'll totally get the nomination in 2028 at this rate if Trump keeps this up.

Former ICE Official: Somali Migration to U.S. Marked ‘Greatest Refugee Fraud Crisis in Modern Times’

A decade of Somali migration to the United States was plagued with mass fraud, the federal government and a retired Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official previously revealed.

The P-3 refugee pipeline, created by the Refugee Act of 1980, allows refugees to apply for their spouses, unmarried children, and parents to also receive refugee status in the U.S. From 2003 through 2008, Africans, including Somalis, represented more than 95 percent of the refugees who arrived in the U.S. through the P-3 program.

In March 2008, after some 36,000 mostly Africans had entered the U.S. as P-3 refugees — the majority of whom resettled in Minnesota — the program was halted by then-President George W. Bush after the State Department unveiled mass fraud.

The State Department published a report in November 2008 detailing how the agency had started requiring P-3 refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Liberia to take DNA tests to prove they were blood relatives to the U.S.-bound refugees sponsoring them for such status.

The DNA tests ultimately revealed the State Department was “only able to confirm all claimed biological relationships in fewer than 20% of cases (family units),” the report stated:

We initially tested a sample of some 500 refugees (primarily Somali and Ethiopian) in Nairobi, Kenya under consideration for U.S. resettlement through the P-3 program. After that sample suggested high rates of fraud, we expanded testing to Ethiopia, Uganda, Ghana, Guinea, Gambia and Cote d’Ivoire. Most of the approximately 3,000 refugees tested are from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Liberia. Note that the initial DNA testing was limited to members of families applying for the P-3 program, and not between the applicants and the anchor relative in the United States. [Emphasis added]

Retired ICE official Charles Thaddeus Fillinger published a 30-page brief in July 2018 regarding what he calls “the greatest refugee fraud crisis in modern times” and “possibly the biggest blunder in immigration history.”

“Thousands of fraudulent P-3 refugees (most using false identities) streamed into the United States for years before the suspension,” Fillinger wrote. “When 25 percent of the U.S. workforce was unemployed in the 1930s, it was called the ‘Great Depression.’ With near 100 percent fraud levels in the failed P-3 program, it is accurate to call it the greatest refugee fraud crisis in modern times.”

Former President Barack Obama reinstated the P-3 refugee pipeline in 2012 after making a number of reforms, including requiring DNA testing for applicants to prove familial ties to refugees in the U.S.

I hope he acts like a man and deports at least 90% of them.

I don't know why I have a feeling it will be like 5-10%.

Luxury cars and private villas: See how Minnesota fraudsters spent millions intended for hungry kids
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/minnesota-fraud-spent-millions-luxury-cars-villas/
{Jonah Kaplan & Michael Kaplan | 11 December 2025}

Luxury cars, private villas and overseas wire transfers: CBS News obtained dozens of files and photos that reveal how Minnesota fraudsters blew through hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars as part of one of the biggest COVID-era fraud schemes.

The files document a spending spree in which defendants, many of Somali descent, took taxpayer money meant to feed hungry children and used it to buy cars, property and jewelry. Videos show them popping champagne at an opulent Maldives resort. In a text message, one defendant boasts: "You are gonna be the richest 25 year old InshaAllah [God willing]."

The documents feature exhibits from a recent federal trial, many of which are being made public by CBS News for the first time. The exhibits include:

• A confirmation email for a stay in an overwater villa with a private pool at Radisson Blu Resort Maldives
• Lakefront property in Minnesota
• Receipts showing wire transfers to China and East Africa
• First class tickets to Istanbul and Amsterdam
• A 2021 Porsche Macan
• Stacks of cash, texted between defendants

At the sentencing of a defendant who used taxpayer funds for cars and the Maldives vacation, 24-year-old Abdimajid Mohamed Nur, U.S. District Judge Nancy E. Brasel admonished him, saying: "Where others saw a crisis and rushed to help, you saw money and rushed to steal." He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay nearly $48 million in restitution for his role in the fraud scheme.

Nur is one of dozens who siphoned hundreds of millions in stolen taxpayer funds — with questions still swirling about where all the money went. The crime has drawn renewed attention in recent weeks: House Republicans last week launched a probe into Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz's handling of the cases, and the Treasury Department said it will investigate whether money made its way to al Qaeda affiliate al Shabaab, which is based in Somalia.

"A lot of money has been transferred from the individuals who committed this fraud," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." Much of that money "has gone overseas, and we are tracking that both to the Middle East and to Somalia to see what the uses of that have been." Multiple federal investigators told CBS News there is no evidence taxpayer dollars were funneled to al Shabaab, and prosecutors have yet to present any evidence linking any of the fraudsters to terrorism.

"The vast majority of the money that these folks made went to spending on luxury items for themselves," said Andy Luger, the former U.S. Attorney who led the office which prosecuted Nur and other related frauds from 2022 until January. "There was never any evidence that this money went to fund terrorism nor was there any evidence that was the intent of the 70 people we indicted."

A CBS News review of the files shows that defendants wired millions in stolen funds overseas, including to banks and companies in China. Officials said finding the ultimate recipients of money routed through China will be challenging because it can be an investigative black hole.

The defendants also transferred nearly $3 million to accounts in Kenya.

Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, 36, who was sentenced to 28 years in prison last month for his role in the scheme, made six separate wire transfers worth more than $1 million to banks in China between February and July 2021, according to records reviewed by CBS News.

In one text, Farah instructed someone to "please send $1000 to Mogadishu bakara," an apparent reference to a one-time al Shabaab stronghold that was the site of the infamous 1993 "Black Hawk Down" incident in which 18 American servicemembers died.

Farah owned and operated Empire Cuisine and Market, a Minnesota restaurant that contracted with the nonprofit Feeding Our Future to cook and provide meals to children. Prosecutors say he and his co-defendants billed the state for $47 million, claiming to have served 18 million meals at more than 30 locations — but they didn't distribute a single meal.

Hundreds of documents related to Farah's case detail how he spent money on luxury cars, investment properties at home and overseas, plus first-class travel to exotic destinations, including Istanbul and the Emirates. The defendants used sea planes to travel to resorts in the Maldives, where in one video, Farah is seen popping champagne at a private pool villa in July 2021.

At Farah's sentencing, a judge said his crimes were motivated by "pure, unmitigated greed." Farah's attorneys did not respond to CBS News' request for comment, including to a question about whether any of the fraud proceeds were diverted to Al Shabaab.

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar said Sunday on "Face The Nation with Margaret Brennan" that any link between allegations of fraud by members of the Somali community and terrorism would be a "failure of the FBI."

"If there was a linkage in the money that they have stolen going to terrorism, then that is a failure of the FBI and our court system in not figuring that out," Omar said.

So far, federal prosecutors have convicted 61 people in the widening Minnesota fraud scandal. More investigations are ongoing.

Tim Walz: “A lot of white men should be holding a lot of white men accountable.”

Me: "I agree, Tim!" ... <turning to all the other white guys> ... "Get a rope!"

You’ll notice that he can’t answer. Answering this would be political suicide. Engaging with the completely valid point, that somalians enable, praise, and benefit from each others’ bad behaviour, means that he either has to lie and pretend he thinks it’s bad, which will lose him all of their support — because he understands that their primary goal and underlying ethic is to practice nepotism and fraud, and they will outspokenly oppose anyone asking them to follow the law — or he can be honest, and reveal that he supports the massive amounts of fraud committed by somalians, because it all results in the importation more somalians, who will commit more fraud, and import more somalians, who will all vote for him. It’s like two parasites in symbiosis to leech off the host.
