For years, hardworking Minnesotans have watched their tax dollars get lit on fire in a bureaucratic black hole (surprise, surprise), with welfare programs ballooning from millions to hundreds of millions seemingly overnight. The state’s most vulnerable citizens—seniors, the disabled, and children with special needs—were supposedly the beneficiaries of these expanded programs. But a jaw-dropping investigation has revealed where the money really went, and President Trump has finally said enough is enough.

The scale of the theft is breathtaking. What started as systems designed to help those in need has morphed into a multi-billion dollar fraud machine, with taxpayer money flowing through fake nonprofits and shell companies. Even more disturbing, some of these stolen funds have ended up financing international terrorism, all while Governor Tim Walz and his administration turned a blind eye to the crisis unfolding in their own backyard.

From Daily Wire:

President Donald Trump announced on Friday night that he will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somali migrants in Minnesota, who’ve been connected to a massive welfare fraud.

“Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity,” Trump posted to Truth Social. “I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota.”

Billions in Fraud Exposed

The numbers are absolutely insane—and I mean that literally. Minnesota’s Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program, created to help seniors and the disabled secure housing, exploded from $2.6 million to more than $104 million in just a few years. Even more stunning, the state’s Medicaid autism schemes skyrocketed from $3 million in 2018 to $399 million in 2023—a staggering 13,300% increase that defies any reasonable explanation.

U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson, a career fraud prosecutor, didn’t mince words about what he discovered: “What we see are schemes stacked upon schemes, draining resources meant for those in need. It feels never-ending. I have spent my career as a fraud prosecutor and the depth of the fraud in Minnesota takes my breath away.”

The perpetrators? Members of Minnesota’s Somali community who have refused to assimilate into American culture, instead creating parallel systems designed to extract maximum profit from American generosity. These weren’t isolated incidents but coordinated networks operating fake providers out of storefronts that looked like they hadn’t seen a legitimate customer since the Carter administration, billing for services they never intended to provide, and paying kickbacks to parents to enroll children in unnecessary therapy programs.

Terror Funding Revealed

Here’s where it gets really infuriating. This isn’t just simple theft. According to law enforcement sources, untold millions have been funneled through informal clan-based money-trading systems called “hawalas” directly to Al-Shabaab, the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist organization. One law enforcement source stated bluntly: “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”

Think about that. Your tax dollars—money taken from your paycheck to supposedly help disabled Americans—instead bought weapons for terrorists. This represents a complete breakdown of the immigration system’s core purpose: bringing in people who want to become Americans and contribute to our society. Instead, certain communities have weaponized our compassion, using programs meant for the needy as ATMs for international terrorism. These aren’t the immigrants who built America—those who came through Ellis Island seeking freedom and opportunity, eager to embrace American values and contribute to their new home.

Democrats’ Deadly Negligence

Throughout this massive fraud operation, Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota’s Democratic establishment have been asleep at the wheel—or maybe they just didn’t care. The media has largely ignored the story (shocker!), leaving ordinary Minnesotans to foot the bill while their money funds violence abroad. This is what happens when political correctness trumps common sense, when authorities are more concerned about being called names than protecting taxpayers.

The contrast with legal immigrants who love America couldn’t be starker. Millions have come to this country the right way, embraced our values, learned our language, and contributed to their communities. They’re as outraged as anyone—probably more so—that others would exploit the system they respected.

President Trump’s decisive action to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somali migrants in Minnesota sends a clear message: if you come to America to exploit our generosity and fund our enemies, you’re going home. This isn’t about religion or ethnicity—it’s about behavior, values, and respect for the country that offered refuge. When welfare becomes warfare against American taxpayers, when charity funds terrorism, the only reasonable response is swift action. For too long, politicians have been afraid to address these problems. Finally—finally!—we have a president willing to put Americans first.
