On Tuesday’s American Agenda, host Bob Brooks roasted the political class and laid bare a scandal that should outrage every taxpayer: a network of fraud in Minnesota that investigators say directed stolen welfare dollars into Somalia, where terror group Al-Shabaab ultimately benefits. This isn’t partisan chest-thumping; it’s an explosive investigative trail that ties real crimes to real national-security consequences and ordinary Americans are paying the bill.
The scale of the theft is staggering — schemes like the Feeding Our Future racket and the Housing Stabilization Services program ballooned into hundreds of millions, and autism-related Medicaid claims exploded far beyond reason. Prosecutors and watchdogs have documented massive, systematic abuse that turned programs meant for kids, seniors, and vulnerable families into cash cows for fraudsters.
Worse still, investigators trace the money through informal hawala transfer networks into Somalia, where Al-Shabaab is reported to take a cut of remittances, meaning taxpayer dollars are indirectly funding a known terror organization. This is a nightmare scenario for national security, and it exposes the fatal flaws of the soft-on-fraud, open-handed policies pushed by far-left officials.
President Trump reacted as any commander-in-chief should: he moved to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota, citing the fraud crisis and threats to public safety. The action ignited furious hand-wringing from the usual suspects in Minneapolis and Washington, but leaders who presided over governance failures shouldn’t be upset when someone finally uses presidential authority to prioritize Americans.
Make no mistake — this scandal didn’t materialize out of nowhere. For years liberal politicians and their media allies have downplayed corruption when it intersected with influential voting blocs, and now taxpayers are seeing the bill and the consequences. Accountability isn’t “bigotry”; it’s law and order, and every elected official who looked the other way must answer to voters.
Federal prosecutors, including the U.S. Attorney’s office in Minnesota, have already filed indictments related to the housing program and other schemes, showing this was organized, brazen, and profitable. Conservatives should demand swift convictions, asset forfeiture, stronger audit controls, and a ban on remittances when money can’t be properly traced to legitimate recipients.
Some will try to frame any enforcement as targeting a people rather than the criminals who abused the system, and it’s true that many Somali Americans are hard-working citizens who love this country. But protecting the homeland and defending taxpayers means rooting out fraud regardless of the perpetrator’s background, and it means the federal government must prioritize security over political correctness.
This story must be a wake-up call for 2026: voters must elect leaders who will stop weaponizing compassion into a cover for corruption, close the loopholes that turned welfare into an industry of theft, and restore consequences. America is not a charity for criminals, and tonight hardworking families deserve to see justice, not excuses.
